I'm using the emacs 29 snap on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. At startup, emacs reports the following.
■ Error (initialization): User dengel has no home directory
I'm pretty sure the problem stems from our use of sssd (configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf) with Microsoft Active Directory for login authentication and user info. Adding an entry to /etc/passwd for the user causes the emacs error to go away. Doing so causes other system issues so is not an acceptable solution.
I suspect the snap needs to be built with some extra NSS/SSS packages to work with our configuration. libnss-sss and libsss-nss-idmap0 look like good candidates.
