Snapd not working

I have downloaded the latest version of snapd and it doesn't work. Whatever package I try to run it keeps saying that it cannot find the core package (see error below) , even though it is installed. I need to get this working because I need a piece of software and the developer only releases it as a snap package and has no plans to release it in any other form. The program I am trying to get running is Termius ssh client.

sudo snap refresh core error: cannot refresh "core": cannot find snap "core"

I installed snapd from the official repositories and it doesn't work. I have also tried the hello-world snap package and that doesn't work either.

Re: Snapd not working

Not sure this would make you any happier but even installed hrough snap it is unworkable. Out of the box it displays a dark terminal-like window and does nothing more. No menus, no buttons no shortcuts Ino any other ways 've succeeded to make it do anything.

Re: Snapd not working

Just for the record: Snapd also stopped working for me at some point during the last weeks with the same issue. Cannot exactly see when it was working the last time, as I wasn't using it regularly.
