Once you’ve done the above, delete everything above this line.
Ubuntu 26.04 beta, fresh install.
Obsidian Snap 1.12.7 is installed and starts the first time. After this first time, Obsidian doesn’t want to start again anymore.
On the same system, I tested with a new user : the same ; it starts once and no more after.
I tried to delete the ~/snap/obsidian folder and often, Obsidian starts again once, but only once.
Install obsidian snap on Ubuntu Resolute
Y
Able to run obsidian
Nothing
Not available
I must add that I downloaded obsidian AppImage and try to run this AppImage : same issue ; nothing happens !
Since you are running a beta of Ubuntu, send the BR to them.
I download the beta iso. Obsidian Snap ran with the system as setup by the beta iso.
The syslogs were not useful to pinpoint the problem.
The appimage runs fine for me (need to install libfuse2 and run with --no-sandbox)

I have similar problem: if I type obsidian in a terminal it just won’t launch.
I downloaded Obsidian from the Discovery app in KDE (uses snap). My OS specifics are:
Any ideas?
Click to open the app or lauch from the terminal
Open the app
Nothing happens, not even logs in the system
Can’t get debug info because the application is not opening

OS: Ubuntu 26.04 LTShttps://snapcraft.io/obsidian
obsidian
On my box this works
/snap/obsidian/current/obsidian --no-sandbox
Seems to be a bug in snap?

I stumbled on the same issue on the released 26.04 (not beta).
What fixed the issue for my was uninstalling Obsidian and installing the .deb variant.
Again, there was some change between the beta1 iso and the final version that broke our snap. We haven’t changed our snap in while because we didn’t make a new release.
At this moment, we are not sure what is casing this.
