          Installing packages from Ubuntu software center using snap have some issues.




          "snap", a new cross-OS package manager. Snap will be much better than APT one day, but right now it's in the beginning stages and experiencing growing pains.




          I removed skype from software center the download the .deb file from Official Skype website.



          Then I installed it using dpkg which solved the problem.

          • This has been driving me mad for a while now. Overall the snap technology is quite bad. I really don't like it and it doesn't work as well as it should be. AppImage is far better at this and "package" size is considerably lower.
