Telegram works fine on Windows.

I installed Telegram application in Ubuntu.

I can't send a photo or file using Telegram.

How can I solve it?

  • Telegram telegram.svg Updater @SAGARBHOOSHAN – mr.md14 Aug 31 '16 at 17:24
  • Unless you explain the problem in detail or post some screenshots or details of the error thrown we can't help you out. Well did you try a reboot since its affected your whole system ? – SAGAR Nair Aug 31 '16 at 17:38
  • I don't have a solution, but if the issue keeps reoccurring to a point where rebooting or logging out and back in all the time becomes too inconvenient, I can recommend the telegram-purple package from ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 in combination with either Pidgin or Telepathy. – David Foerster Sep 30 '16 at 11:19

Your Telegram app probably doesn't have access to your storage. Go to the Telegram settings , then go to the permissions and turn storage access on . And if the options aren't available in telegram, then open Ubuntu Software centre and access the permission list from there. in recent updates this is the procedure to be followed

The telegram-desktop snap needs the removable-media connection. Therefore, you'll need to run (you'll be prompted for Sudo access as well):

snap connect telegram-desktop:removable-media

The command above works in Linux Mint as well.
