Snap support issue in Firebase Studio Cloud Workspace

General
1

Hello Firebase Studio team,

I am using the Android Studio Cloud Workspace with GUI access and full root permissions. However, I am encountering an issue when trying to use snap.

When I try to install a snap package, for example by running the command:

sudo snap install hello-world

I get the following error:

error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using “squashfs”: mount: /tmp/syscheck-mountpoint-xxxx: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loopxx, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

Also, when I try to load the squashfs kernel module with:

sudo modprobe squashfs

I get the error:

modprobe: FATAL: Module squashfs not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.72+

This means the kernel running in the Cloud Workspace does not support squashfs, which is required for snap packages to work.

I kindly ask you to:

  1. Enable squashfs support in the kernel (either built-in or as a module).

  2. Make sure /dev/loop devices are available for snap.

  3. (Optional) Enable GPU acceleration for better performance.

Thank you for providing this development environment. These improvements would make it much easier for developers to use Android Studio Cloud Workspace.
