Snap store doesn't start after upgrade to 20.04

[Igor Zubarev]

When I open snap store it doesn't start. Upgraded from Ubuntu 19.04

I also opened it in terminal. See output:
$ snap-store

Thank you for your bug report, that seems to be an issue with a corrupted cache, could you try to remove /home/igor/snap/snap-store/common/.cache and see if that resolves the issue?

I had the same problem. Snap-store would not launch and complained about pixbuf.
After I removed ~/snap/snap-store/common/.cache it started again, thanx for that!
Some other bug appeared after that. Icons and screenshots did not show up. I installed the edge version of snap-store and it fixed it. Then I reversed to stable, and it still works, so I guess I just needed to reinstall the snap. I put together some output from the terminal before the reinstall. I keep it as a attachment if someone would be interested.
Have a nice one!

Reinstalling seemed to work for me... not sure why.

sudo snap remove snap-store && sudo snap install snap-store
