I use WhatsUpp for Linux and one day when started I got the following message:

"GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.portal.Error.NotAllowed: This call is not available inside the sandbox"

The program doesn't start and there in only blank frame with that massage. I unstall and install again from Snapcraft that application with no effect.

Thanks for help in advance.

    Which software exactly and how did you install it? There are many unofficial WhatsApp clients, there isn't any official one. As such we need to know exactly which one you're using. Meanwhile you may want to use the web version (OS agnostic). – ChanganAuto Jun 29 '22 at 16:30
  • I have the same problem. Started today. I use Whatsapp for linux 1.4.4. – d kr Jun 29 '22 at 20:13
  • Haven't enough rep to answer, but I have the same issue. You can workaround in the short term by running 'snap run --gdb whatsapp-for-linux', then just say 'n' to debuginfo and 'cont' to finish opening. Keep in mind this effectively gives it root permissions. – user2979044 Jul 04 '22 at 09:21

This is an unofficial WhatsApp client by a third party available in the Snap Store. The only way you can get help is to contact the developer. You are better off running https://web.whatsapp.com in a browser.

Please see this video regarding Snaps.

Looks like the snap is missing the network-status plug, see this forum post.
