I don’t manage to start the todoist snap, it just silently fails to start, also after reinstalling todoist.
What doesn’t work (silently fails to start todoist):
$ todoist
$ snap run todoist
What does work (succesfully starts todoist):
$ /snap/todoist/current/todoist
It seems to me there’s something going working in the way /usr/bin/snap handles todoist, but I have no clue how to debug this, as there’s no output or error message. Other snaps do work fine…
i have the same problem. Apps like todoist (or walc, p3x-onenote etc) will start once after installing, but won’t start again.
I could get some error messages running sudo strace -u catinbetween -f -D -vv -o ./log.trace /snap/bin/todoist
the error log (this contains about 14k lines and would be too large to paste here)
It’s full of “no such file or directory” errors.
I got a very similar error log, also full of “no such file or directory” errors, using snap run --strace todoist. And just like you, this same problem occurred for other snaps as well, including electronplayer.
All snaps mentioned so far use the Electron framework…
So in my case, the problem is that I set up ~/Downloads to be a symlink to /mnt/data/Downloads. Who would have thought… Removing this symlink solved the problem, but it is an absurd problem that should have other solutions.
After checking a little bit more, i didn’t get any apparmor errors to work with. So since apparently the download folder needs to be a real folder, i’ve created a small personal workaround (since i don’t have that much space on /home )
i’ve made a real folder ~/Downloads and created a symlink ~/Downloads_ to the actual download folder. Then i created a startup script that will move everything from the real folder to the symlink target every time i logged in:
