Snapd service error: cannot communicate with server

Question

If I run any snap command it fails.

I found out that snapd service is not running. I tried to start it but this error showed up

Job for snapd.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status snapd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I ran journalctl -xe and this is the output أبريل 29 03:15:09 Ryok

snap-failure[48189]: error: snapd failed: exit status 1 أبريل 29 03:15:09 Ryok systemd[1]: snapd.failure.service: Main process exited,

if i try for example

snap install postman

this error is thrown

error: cannot communicate with server: Post http://localhost/v2/snaps/postman: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: connection refused

Snap version

snap    2.44.3+20.04
snapd   unavailable 
series  -

OS : Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

I tried reinstalling it and uninstalling then installing but it didn't work. I read a lot about it but no solution seemed to solve the problem.

Thanks for your time

Answer 1

I think it is probably the same issue as, here due to a system not including snapd,

Using Snap with Ubuntu on WSL

seems very hard to fix.
