I have a problem with the Ubuntu 22.04.1 snap store. In fact, every time I install an application using snap store, I can't use it, i.e. whenever I want to launch the application that I have installed, it does not open. I don't understand why this is happening. And yet Snap Store works normally, but the applications I install using it does not.

1Try launching a snap application from the terminal. Error messages may reveal what is wrong, e.g. "snap run firefox" to run a snap install of firefox. The name of a program appears in the first column of "snap list". Copy any output from the terminal into your question: use "edit".– vanadiumCommented Sep 28, 2022 at 15:08

In my case, snapd was not installed. Opening the terminal and running: sudo apt install snapd worked for me.

Some additional details could make this a more useful answer ;-). First, do you have any idea why
snapdwasn't installed? This should (I would expect) be fairly unusual, since it's a default package, right? Also, in your case, were you able to install Snaps from the Store withoutsnapdinstalled? I wouldn't expect that part to work either, but I could certainly be wrong about. Thanks! Commented Feb 25, 2023 at 17:59 -
@NotTheDr01ds Not sure why it wasn't installed. I am using a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and I don't recall uninstalling it, but I guess I must've inadvertently done so. I was able to install and use Snaps from the Store for a week or so and then this issue arose (probably due to me accidentally uninstalling 'snapd'). Anyways, just wanted to add the answer in case others had a similar situation.– ThomasCommented Feb 26, 2023 at 15:45
