Ubuntu 18.04 - Notepad++ will not launch.

[Michael McCarthy]

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu 18.04 and Notepad++ will not launch.

I have tried uninstalling several times but to no avail?

When I click on launch nothing happens?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mick.

Uhhhhhh…Notepad++ is a Windows application…

Are you running under Proton or WINE or installing a snap package (http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2018/04/install-notepad-in-ubuntu-18-0416-04-via-snap/)?

I can confirm having the same exact issue on my system running Ubuntu 18.04 as well, just started a couple days ago.
