Parca Agent snap service does not start on Ubuntu 24.04

[gruyaume]

Describe the bug
The Parca Agent snap service does not start on Ubuntu 24.04. The snap service shows as active from snapd point of view but it seems to be in infinite startup retry loop with the error BPF program load failed: Argument list too long.

To Reproduce

I have followed the Quick Start for snaps guide and tried to start Parca Agent and integrate it with Parca.

sudo snap install --classic parca-agent
sudo snap start parca

Expected behavior
The agent starts

Hey, thank you for opening this issue.
There were some fixes that landed and sudo snap install --classic --edge parca-agent works.
Until we have a new parca-agent release please use edge.

@umanwizard, let's make sure to close this issue once we have cut a new parca-agent release.
