Snap installed but is not running, DirectConnect client EiskaltDC

Support Snap/Flatpak
1

Hi,
i ran “sudo snap install eiskaltdcpp”
on latest Manjaro (based on Arch, kernel 5.8.16-2-MANJARO) but when i then click the installed app menu entry to launch it, nothing happens (other snap app works good). I quickly looked into /var/log/ dmesg, journalctl and do not see anything related.

Do you have any suggestion? Also which DirectConnect (DC++) client do you suggest? I was unable to find any in official or AUR repo :-/ (eiskaltdcpp-gtk/qt is in AUR but building failed)

I am not a snap user - but first task is to check your snap services are running

systemctl status snapd.apparmor apparmor

Enable and start the services

systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor apparmor

Thank you for your replies, though the Snap should be ready to run it, because I am launching other Snap powered app without problem. I tried yours mentioned commands and it not made it working.

I forgot i could try to run it from command line to discover some details. And indeed there are some errors, though i am unsure if it is supposed to be run like that:

$ eiskaltdcpp

Based on a topic from snapcraft, i checked dmesg for “eisk” (as eiskaltdc) and found:

sudo dmesg|grep -i eisk
