Installing with
--devmode
makes it work!Note: you might be able to work around the problems by installing the snap in devmode
snap install --devmode
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snap-confinement/6233. If you do that it should output a debug output, with all unspecified interfaces, so, please post that log here.The snap package is very outdated, and can most likely not be fixed without upstream help, or by some snap expert https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/need-help-with-the-snap-for-neovide/35978, until then I think we should remove the snap package completely.
Closing this for now.
