Describe the bug

Once started, the Zulip snap client on ubuntu (further details below) crashes instantly due to a segmentation fault.

To Reproduce

Upgrade the snap from the previous version to the latest version (v5.12.3) and following try to start it.
Reinstalling did not help:

user@ubuntu-5491:~$ sudo snap remove zulip
zulip removed (snap data snapshot saved)
user@ubuntu-5491:~$ sudo snap install zulip
zulip 5.12.3 desde Zulip (zulipchat) installed
user@ubuntu-5491:~$ zulip

Manually setting the graphics to X11 with zulip --ozone-platform=x11 helped. On a first look, the snap connections seem to be good.

Expected behavior

The client should start without additionall command line arguments.

Screenshots

Hopefully, the shared output above is already helpful. If not, feel free to ask me to provide further evidence or details.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • Operating System:
    Zulip 5.12.3 upgraded from Snap on a Ubuntu 25.10 machine (no fresh install, was already installed, missing time...). Intel CPU & integrated GPU, GNOME on Wayland.
