Comment 2 Sam Shiell 2020-03-04 22:01:00 UTC

Same issue for me. Falkon won't launch because of of the following: 

/snap/falkon/60/kf5-launch: line 209: /snap/falkon/60/kf5-locale-gen: No such file or directory

Other than subfolders (.cache, .config, .icons and .local) there's nothing in that folder. the .local folder is also empty.

Comment 3 Marcus Larborg 2020-05-09 08:02:47 UTC

I can confirm. I get the same error when trying to launch falkon.

snap run falkon
/snap/falkon/60/kf5-launch: line 209: /snap/falkon/60/kf5-locale-gen: No such file or directory

Comment 5 TW3 2020-06-17 00:57:09 UTC

Actually, it might be an idea to change this report to be against Ubuntu and not Mint.
Mint recently announced that they won't support snaps by default:
https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3906
My guess is that going forward that if you install Falkon on Mint it will be a deb and likely not produce this issue.

Comment 6 Jeffrey Bouter 2020-08-11 22:55:32 UTC

Let's file it against platform "snap" instead.

Comment 7 hrwy 2020-09-02 10:39:03 UTC

Comment 10 techxgames 2020-12-28 02:27:04 UTC

Any updates?  Candidate branch doesn't work either. Did comment 9 work?
