How multipassd should be restarted to get multipass commands fuctional again?

Question

Currently I can't run multipass shell, it shows the following in the terminal:

$ multipass shell ubuntu-test
shell failed: cannot connect to the multipass socket
Please ensure multipassd is running and '/var/snap/multipass/common/multipass_socket' is accessible

It seems that I need to restart multipassd, but how should I do it?

Answer 1

This service is provided by Snap, so it should restarted as follows:

sudo snap restart multipass.multipassd
