Hi all
Mattermost Desktop just got a new release in edge with a bunch of changes. It switches to core20.
Please test mattermost-desktop by installing the stable version and then refreshing to the edge channel. The refresh process needs to be tested too.
Hey,
So I submitted the PR that got this into latest/edge. This was working brilliantly last week, I used it for 3 days or so for work.
Today, however, mattermost failed to start using this version. I’ve not dug into it particularly yet, there was an error about not being an available usable sandbox (or words to that effect):
❯ sudo snap refresh mattermost-desktop --channel=latest/edge
mattermost-desktop (edge) 4.7.2 from Snapcrafters refreshed
❯ mattermost-desktop --enable-logging
[3269695:0920/150234.081548:FATAL:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(117)] No usable sandbox! Update your kernel or see https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux/suid_sandbox_development.md for more information on developing with the SUID sandbox. If you want to live dangerously and need an immediate workaround, you can try using --no-sandbox.
[1] 3269695 trace trap (core dumped) mattermost-desktop --enable-logging
Seems related to: Electron-builder produces freezing snaps - #16 by James-Carroll.
I’ll try and take a look a bit later on, though I suspect my snapcrafting knowledge will run out soon 
I should add, trying to start the app with --no-sandbox results in errors trying to access /dev/shm:

Taking a look at the other issue, and doing a bit of digging, I have had a go at a PR that should solve this, but keen for feedback: https://github.com/snapcrafters/mattermost-desktop/pull/46
I still encounter this very issue on installing 5.0.2 on linux mint.
Hey! That PR is now mostly complete, just awaiting a final review. I think that should fix the issue, so keep an eye over the next few days for 5.1.0 landing in edge!
Now live in edge - see call for testing post.
