 Thanks dcf that was so helpful! 😊

 > what version of Tor Browser did you copy snowflake-client from?

 Since this was 3 months ago I guess I had copied it from a Tor Browser
 7.5a8.

 > And does Snowflake work inside Tor Browser (not with system tor)?

 Yes.

 I already have the [https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/libatomic1
 libatomic1] package installed so that's not the problem. After retrying
 the steps you followed, I figured out that the missing step was to do,

 {{{
 sudo chmod +rx /usr/bin/snowflake-client
 }}}

 After that system Tor correctly bootstraps and works fine and I can see
 snowflake in the task manager!!! 🎉🎉

 However when I launch `./snowflake-client` from the command line I do get
 the error,

 {{{
 ENV-ERROR no TOR_PT_STATE_LOCATION environment variable
 }}}

 So I had assumed that this may have been the error.

 In any case, the `/etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/tor` changes for snowflake
 are necessary and should be added when #19409 is ready.
