Wickr-me installed but doesn't open (anymore)

[ulfhanu]

Hi all and merry Christmas,

I'm recently on Ubuntu 20.04 and I installed wickr-me with snap a week ago. It worked fine and then I shut down the PC and went away for a couple of days. Now I'm back, nobody touched the PC (impossible because I live alone) and after startup wickr just doesn't open at all. I click the icon and nothing happens at all.
I tried to remove and reinstall and nothing. Unfortunately I'm pretty new to Linux and I have no idea how to solve this. Wick-me is very important to me.

Any aditional information you might need I will gladly provide.

Thanks

By the way I alrady tried stable, candidate and beta

Wickrme explicitly states that they only support Ubuntu 16.04
EDIT: It did install stable and it opened for me with:

Yes. Funny enough it worked though. So no chance then?

EDIT: just saw your edit

Tried to start and it says:

Try Installing it again, might show us something.

The suggestion was/is to reinstall it and try again. NOT to run it with sudo, something you never do with graphical user apps.

[ulfhanu]

ulfhanu@ulfhanu-comp:/run/user$ sudo snap remove wickrme
wickrme removed

ulfhanu@ulfhanu-comp:/run/user$ sudo snap install wickrme
wickrme 5.68.7 from Wickr Inc (tleavy) installed

I guess nothing new. I'm new to this Linux anyway. I used Linux many yaers ago but I find it quiete confusing now

I had tried that before you suggested it..... Sorry.
