I installed the snap on a vanilla manjaro minimal install. I see the entry screen, but when I click on open vault this is what I see:
It’s possible the only issue is that I’m missing a font or font family. If so, please advise so that I can install it.
Thank you!
I can’t help to your specific question on how to fix that install, but I recommend switching to the .appimage. I avoid all snap packages at all costs because they are historically buggy on Manjaro. As I recall that’s why snap isn’t included on the OS in the first place.
I’ve had Obsidian running in Manjaro through the .appimage for many months with no issues.
Good luck!
Thanks @Ericsred!!!
appimage works great.
Snaps are also slower because they need to be mounted at boot.
I did not realize that - it explains a lot.
Good to know. Thanks!
yeah I agree with @Erisred I don’t use snaps either.
For Manjaro and other Arch distros I highly recommend installing Obsidian from the AUR. It’s also an appimage install but easier to update
I use yay to get it from the AUR
it’s this one
aur/obsidian-appimage 0.11.13-1
FWIW, I just download the .appimage from the Obsidian website. Never had a single bug or update issue.

the obsidian-appimage was there months ago when I installed Obsidian for the first time. But thanks for the tip, I didn’t know there was that version. If I ever get any issues I’ll switch to that one.
Yay is great it hasn’t given me any issues. I didn’t know of paru any reason to use it instead of yay? I though yay was the best and most popular for the AUR
