Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ARM: latest telegram desktop does not work

snapd

Hi,

I am using ubuntu 24.04 LTS ARM with mate desktop and linux kernel 6.8.0-72-generic (aarch64). Telegram desktop worked well until version 5.16.6, whereas after the upgrade to 6.0.0 and even with 6.0.2, the application does not start. My operating system is the same as a week ago, so I think it may be related to Telegram. I have not found any solution on the web.

The application does not start and from terminal I get this error:

telegram-desktop 
/snap/telegram-desktop/6766/gpu-2404/bin/gpu-2404-provider-wrapper: line 27: cd: /snap/telegram-desktop/6766/gpu-2404/bin/../X11/locale: No such file or directory
/snap/telegram-desktop/6766/usr/bin/telegram-desktop: error while loading shared libraries: libopenh264.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thank you

P.S. the latest flatpak version works well while I cannot use the binary version since it is only x86_64.

P.P.S. I reported the problem to telegram desktop github, but they told me that they cannot help.

I commented on the bug, seems the packager started hard-coding library paths in snapcraft.yaml when changing the graphics stack to to mesa-2404 which results in no libraries being shipped at all in the snap (makes the snap smaller though :stuck_out_tongue: )
