hi,
I have the problem that the program: SchildiChat no longer starts. It simply does not open.
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem is still there.
does anyone have an idea what I can do to get it running again?
thanks a lot.
What method did you use to install it?

thanks, i installed it over the software in zorin. after that deinstalled it and installed ofer the terminal.
What Aravision meant was: Did you install it as a apt, Snap, Flatpak etc?

ah okay. i installed as apt
Try to delete the app cache stored in ~/.local (if i remeber right). You can look into that folder by pressing ctrl + h
. Most of the time when you remove an application there are some small saved user files behind, if you delete them and reinstall the app it will start fresh again.

i used ctrl. did you have any idea?
Did you use the filemanager (home, downloads, documents etc)
Pressing ctrl + h should unhide the files in Zorin 16.

thanks i see it again now. but unfortunately it still doesn't work. i have now installed and uninstalled the program several times.
installation via software store, through the console and as a download file. but the program just will not run.
am really in despair. anyone else an idea?
Have you tried the flatpak or the appimage?
