Getting an error while installing snap packages. Cannot read device key pair












1














Wondering why I'm unable to install snap packages, while in software center and using sudo snap install .... It gives me an error and I'm unable to discern what's causing it nor am I able to find others with the same issue.



software center error



So when I try to install it using terminal, I get the full error:



~$ sudo snap install pycharm-community --classic
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Download snap "pycharm-community" (103) from channel "stable" (cannot read device key pair: cannot find key pair)


This is happening with every package I attempt to install, I'm just showing PyCharm as an example. Any pointers or anyone having the same issue that's found a resolution?
