Ubuntu 25.10 Beta Snap Problems

Hey!

more people then me that have problem with snapd in Ubuntu 25.10 Beta?

running sudo snapd refresh in a terminal removes all installed snaps
and breaks snapd

I use Kubuntu 25.10 minimal install so that no snaps are installed, but I will test the main Ubuntu just incase it’s a serious bug.

Update: I ran ‘sudo snap refresh’ in terminal which thankfully downloaded and updated the gnome-42 snap and didn’t remove anything else.

If this persists, maybe try installing gnome-software and the gnome-software-plugin-snap for your updates as I less hassle when using this.

“sudo snapd refresh” does not exist, command is: “sudo snap refresh”
and i see no problem running it in Ubuntu 25.10

corrado@corrado-n3-qq-0918:~$ sudo snap refresh

All snaps up to date.

Fresh vanilla 25.10 beta install, up to date.

sudo snapd refresh
sudo-rs: 'snapd': command not found

Hardly surprising since snapd is the service that runs snaps and not an application itself.

sudo snap refresh
core22 20250822 from Canonical✓ refreshed
firefox 143.0.1-1 from Mozilla✓ refreshed
gnome-42-2204 0+git.837775c-sdk0+git.7b07595 from Canonical✓ refreshed

Unable to reproduce whatever you experienced.
