Job for snapd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status snapd.service” and “journalctl -xeu snapd.service” for details.
I am having an issue in ubunto with the above error message. Please help
When you run that command is there any relevant error messages displayed?
Only message I receive is: Job for snapd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status snapd.service” and “journalctl -xeu snapd.service” for details.
Well, that message asks you to run two commands, it would be helpful if you do that and provide the output of them here.
First run systemctl status snapd.service, copy/paste the output here (make sure to add three backticks ``` above and below the pasted text so the formatting stays intact).
Second run the journalctl line it gave you and paste it here the same way, that should hopefully give some information about what went wrong…
The first command gave me the following output:
syystemctl status snapd.service
hamsi@ilhan-Latitude-5290:/$ systemctl status snapd.service × snapd.service - Snap Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/snapd.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2023-09-13 17:36:31 BST; 53min left TriggeredBy: × snapd.socket Main PID: 1319 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CPU: 273ms
The Second output is:
journalctl
Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system.
Users in groups ‘adm’, ‘systemd-journal’ can see all messages.

Also the same issue with snapd not working. Details are the same. Everything happened after kernel update / chmod 777 while trouble shooting. The outcome was identical. UBUNTU SERVER 24.04.3 (now with kernel 15.5.85
Hoping for assistance from the community.
