@lidel could you take a look at this issue? It seems quite similar to the context of #1906

[lidel]

Nothing i can do, see #1906 (comment)

If someone familiar with Snap has time to investigate, that is appreciated, but I am closing this as duplicate of #1906

• if you want something that "just works", try installing .AppImage instead.
• if you care about getting Snap to work, raise support in https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/ipfs-desktop-classic-review/28517?u=lidel
