Starting with Ubuntu 20.04, chromium-browser indeed is a transitional
package that installs the chromium snap. But for some reason snapd
doesn't appear to be running on your system.
Can you share the output of the following commands?
systemctl status snapd.service
systemctl start snapd.service
** Summary changed:
- Installed chromium-browser does not work
+ [snap] chromium-browser fails to install the snap because snapd is not running
** Tags added: snap
** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
[snap] chromium-browser fails to install the snap because snapd is not
running
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Since I need Chrome, I installed chromium-browser and snapd in
aptitude.
But Chrome didn't appear in the menu, and launching it from the
console yields
cassiopeia ~ > chromium-browser
Command '/usr/bin/chromium-browser' requires the chromium snap to be
installed.
Please install it with:
snap install chromium
cassiopeia ~ > snap install chromium
error: cannot communicate with server: Post
http://localhost/v2/snaps/chromium: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no
such file or directory
I would have thought that chromium-browser does install the chromium
snap. So what does it mean, and how do I fix it?
