Known Issues

  1. AppArmor logs show denied access to "/var/lib/snapd/desktop/icons/".
    This is known issue of snap itself. See forum.
  2. Sound doesn't work. It is known issue of JavaFX under snap. See forum.
  3. If the snap doesn't work and running it from terminal gives you a long Java Exception trace ending with
    Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
    at TastyJavaFx//com.sun.javafx.font.LogicalFont.<init>(LogicalFont.java:181)
    
    That is likely caused by a corrupted font cache. To rebuild the font cache do the following in the terminal:
    sudo rm /var/cache/fontconfig/*
    rm ~/.cache/fontconfig/*
    fc-cache -r
