I snap installed multipass on Debian 12 Linux (bookworm) - that was a fun task in itself. However, when I try to multipass launch --name myVMname, I get:

$ multipass launch
launch failed: cannot connect to the multipass socket
$

I see that multipass_socket exists after I installed it:

  • sudo snap set system experimental.parallel-instances=true
  • sudo snap install multipass_socket

However, even after installing multipass_socket, I cannot multipass launch a VM.

How do I fix multipass so I can multipass launch a VM?

I found a github bug that mentioned that upgrading multipass to the Cannonical edge distribution solved their problem. Likewise, upgrading to edge and then downgrading to stable also solved the problem...

  • sudo snap refresh multipass --channel edge
  • sudo snap refresh multipass --channel stable
