notepad-plus-plus snap does not start on Ubuntu
I created this question on stackoverflow and it was downvoted. I hope this is right comunity to ask.
I installed notepad-plus-plus on Ubuntu 16.04 machine. It was working fine. With no evident reason it stopped to work. Icon disappeared from application list. When I launch shell script /snap/notepad-plus-plus/current/bin/notepad-plus-plus I get error message:
You need to connect this snap to the wine-platform-i386 snap.
snap connect :wine-platform-plug wine-platform-i386:wine-base-stable
I removed snapd (sudo apt autoremove --purge snapd) and installed it again. Same behavior. I installed notepad-plus-plus snap on another Ubuntu system and it works fine.
How to 'connect' notepad-plus-plus snap to the wine-platform-i386 snap?

Solution 1:
According to your command-output the plug notepad-plus-plus:wine-platform-plug is connected to the slot wine-platform-i386:wine-base-stable already. But the mandatory plug notepad-plus-plus:process-control is not connected.
You need to run
sudo snap connect notepad-plus-plus:process-control
