[SOLVED] Problem with using apps installed with Snap.

I tried installing an app from Snapstore and it didn't show up in jgmenu (after refreshing). I tried it for the first time in Helium, but I think I tried in Lithium also. It too gave the same result.

I couldn't find any solution in the internet.

I am also a noob(newb) in the operating system.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with using apps installed with Snap.

Run command

$ snap list

to list what program you have installed

Run command

$ snap run [program]

for example, cherrytree is only available in snapstore. I start it with

$ snap run cherrytree

I have some snaps, none in the menu. Quite content with starting them from the terminal or gmrun.

this is wellknown problem. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/910821/ … n-launcher

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with using apps installed with Snap.

Thanks! It worked. Other than that, the command line showed some error.

(electron) 'systemPreferences.isDarkMode()' is deprecated and will be removed. Please use 'nativeTheme.shouldUseDarkColors' instead.

Also, I noticed the terminal shouldn't be closed or else the app will close. Otherwise, thank you! It works, God Bless.

Yes. If you start app with gmrun (Alt+F2), you do not need to bother about the terminal. The first error is gtk theme error. Unimportant. The other errors also seems insignificant.

Edit first post, add [Solved] to Subject.

I just paraphrased the title because it cannot fit.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with using apps installed with Snap.

I edited the tint2 config and added the launchers using the .desktop file for the snap application - just works.
