@a1exus you can also fix it with

sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/*snap-confine*
sudo apparmor_parser -r /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap-confine*

According to the conversation in [Ubuntu Forum], this particular answer, fixed my problem.

So, just install apparmor if don’t have it already, and then enable it by: systemctl enable --now apparmor.service

Note: For some reasons, it asks for password multiple times. In my case, 5 times!! Don’t give up! 😃
