[Github-comments] [geany/geany] geany won't open after fresh install on Manjaro (#2295)

[mathemaat]

Hi all,

I wanted to try out Geany on my Manjaro system, as a Linux alternative to 
Notepad++, however the program doesn't start.

I installed Geany using the instructions on the [Snapcraft 
website](https://snapcraft.io/install/geany-gtk/manjaro). Installation was 
succesful:

```sh
$ sudo snap install geany-gtk --edge
2019-09-10T10:23:02+02:00 INFO Waiting for restart...
geany-gtk (edge) 1.33.01+git from Felicia Hendrickson (fehfeh1) installed
```

But when I try to open Geany from the start menu, I'm getting the following 
error:

My installation doesn't have a `/share` directory, so the error makes sense. Is 
there a way to solve this? How?
