Stupid me.

I meant well and use Sudo apt purge snapd to delete snap functionality after malware was found in the snapstore. Now the boutique is gone.

How do I get it back. Thanks in advance.

2

sudo apt install snap

to get the snap infrastructure back, then

sudo snap install ubuntu-mate-welcome --classic
sudo snap install software-boutique --classic
sudo snap install pulsemixer

to restore all the preinstalled snaps (you can skip those you don’t need)

Hi! The first command worked. The others don’t. Anything wrong with the syntax ?

Why uninstall snap because of a app that was in snap store?

Good question. As I said: stupid me.

sudo snap install software-boutique

What kind of error message do you get? Btw. I copied the commands from the 18.04 release announcement (just added sudo).
