Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: cannot get mounts: open /proc/self/mountinfo: permission denied

I can not get my OneDrive to mount correctly on my Ubuntu 23.10 server.
I have it working perfectly on a VM. I have reinstalled it but i get the same error.
When I installed it on my VM when accessing the onedrive URL automatically displayed the Microsoft browser and asked for both user name and password.
On the server I had to open the URL it asked for a user name but not the password.
Is it missing my OneDrive password?
Apologies for any errors/omissions/mistakes this is my first post.

stuart@sslt1:~$ ls -i ~/OneDrive
stuart@sslt1:~$

You are using snap installed rclone. As per docs:

Note: Due to the strict confinement of Snap, rclone mount feature is not supported.

Uninstall it and install normal version by running:

sudo -v ; curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash

Thanks for the help how do I uninstall it?

Open Software Centre, go to rclone and click uninstall?

Something like this:

image

Or check snap documentation and use command line.

As you can install with sudo snap install rclone then maybe you can sudo snap uninstall rclone

I do not use snap so no idea about details.

That worked thank you very much your support greatly appreciated.
FYI The snap command to uninstall is 'remove' well that worked for me :).
