hello cannot locate the core snap: No such file or directory

The installation of snaps goes perfectly well, but whenever I try to run a snap after the installation nothing happens (e.g. Notes won't start from the dash). Also non-GUI snaps like hello don't work:



$ hello
cannot locate the core snap: No such file or directory


How could I fix this problem?

          I have the hello snap, notes and core installed on my computer and all of them work fine.



          $ snap list
          Name Version Rev Developer Notes
          core 16.04.1 714 canonical -
          hello 2.10 20 canonical -
          notes 0.9.0~gitb6e3b34 4 notes-developers -


          When the hello snap is installed, the core snap is installed along with it if core is not already installed. Try updating the core snap:



          sudo snap refresh core  


          If core is already installed the following message will be shown:



          snap "core" has no updates available


          Your results of running sudo snap refresh core were as follows:



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


          So uninstall the core snap and then reinstall it.



          sudo snap remove core hello  
          sudo snap install hello # core will also be installed automatically


          Hello is a terminal app that runs like this.



          $ hello
          Hello, world!

            Thank you for your answer, but now I'm getting the following error: ` $ sudo snap install core error: cannot perform the following tasks: - Mount snap "core" (714) (cannot install core snap "core" when core snap "ubuntu-core" is already present) ` Refreshing doesn't work: ` $ sudo snap refresh core error: cannot refresh "core": cannot find snap "core" ` And hello still doesn't work ;( ` $ hello cannot locate the core snap: No such file or directory `
