Solving Snap Issue with Kubuntu 20.04 (Problem with Chromium Installation)
![]() |
Kubuntu 20.04 on Dell Inspiron 5480 |
I have had another issue with Kubuntu. Really strange that as an Ubuntu-based distro Kubuntu has a few problems while the others don't.
This time Kubuntu has problem installing chromium browser. As you may know Ubuntu has shifted Chromium to snap in 20.04. So when I tried to install chromium with sudo snap install chromium I got this error "error: cannot communicate with server: timeout exceeded while waiting for response"
I checked the snapd status and it was running... So I didn't have any idea.
Until by chance I found out the error has to do with missing snap-store. In short after I installed snap-store everything runs well. Oh... Kubuntu.
