apps installed from ubuntu software don't launch












0















The applications I install using the ubuntu software center don't launch. However if I install the same application from terminal it works fine.



I by mistake ran the command sudo rm -rf snap from the root directory.



I already tried reinstalling Ubuntu Software. I am running an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS version.



Any idea how to fix the issue?

  • I'm really unsure what the effect of the command that you ran would have, but I suspect it's not all good. You could try sudo apt install --reinstall snapd
