Slack snap does not start - how to diagnose

I’ve install slack with the following command:
snap install slack --classic

Upon starting slack from the desktop it appears to be starting up, but exits immediately without providing any crash information. I’ve checked the logs, but I could not find any relevant information on both slack or snap. No config file is created when starting up, suggesting it crashes very early in the process.

My question is how do I diagnose this problem?

What I’ve done

  • Reinstall slack
