Further to my last post... (it's not visible so needing approval I gather), the same [Opera] app is now working perfectly...

I logged out of my Wayland (Ubuntu Desktop/GNOME) session and into an Xorg session (LXQt on same install/box), and on the same machine, same software versions (No updates applied), Opera is now working perfectly...

I could login to other sessions if helpful; but error message does imply (to me) it's related purely to Wayland session; what I wasn't using yesterday, or now. Many users have only Wayland sessions on their installs.

(I'm using Ubuntu resolute), updates applied 3 times per day.

I rebooted this morning on Ubuntu, and the snap package is no longer operational..

Starting at menu or dock and other than the icon flashing for a second (system reacting to click) nothing actually opens.

If started at terminal I get

guiverc@d7050-next:~$   opera 
[9817:9817:1126/105334.812046:ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/wayland/host/wayland_connection.cc:197] Failed to connect to Wayland display: No such file or directory (2)

Yesterday I was using a Xorg session & had no issues; today I logged into Ubuntu Desktop and a GNOME session using Wayland, but its also possible that it was updated (I apply all updates on login PRIOR to opening any windows; and snap info detail does imply it updated)

I'm using Ubuntu resolute.
