Hello,
Currently on my ubuntu laptops running Hirsute the application doesn't launch.
the error msg :
$ nymea-app
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
Failed to create wl_display (Permission denied)

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

hmm... right... I've seen this before... I switched my ubuntu installation back to X11 (for other reasons) so I had forgotten about this.
Thanks for bringing it up again. Needs to be fixed.
In the meantime you have 2 options:
- Use nymea:app from the dpkg repository instead of the snap
- Select X11 when logging in on your computer.
Unfortunatly the solution doesn't work for ubuntu hirsute : http://repository.nymea.io/pool/main/n/nymea-app/
hmm... fair enough. I've enabled building for hirsute packages for the app now too.
Should be in the experimental repository shortly (deb http://ci-repo.nymea.io/experimental-silo hirsute main) and be promoted to the stable repository once nymea 0.30 is released.
Maybe it's a bit late, but a quick fix could be to run the app like this:
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-99 nymea-app
Then add it to the app environment in snapcraft.yaml
(I had the same problem in my app too)
