Maybe it supports the latest ubuntu version. The older version of ubuntu may not be compatible.

Same message, solved by using updated snap:

Same problem on Debian Bullseye. Downgrading Insomnia to 2023.5.0 didn't help. I've downgraded to Insomnia 2023.3.0 and everything works now.

It appears this is an incompatibility between electron 25 and snap. Perhaps there will be a backwards compatibility change in electron-builder but I wouldn't hold my breath. Update snap or glibc (upgrade the distro) to workaround this issue.

Thank you, downgrade solved my issue on Bullseye as well! Don't see how the latest version could possibly work with it.

I don't even have snap installed. So I suppose I'll have to live with older version for long time. At least before I upgrade which won't be any time soon. Bullseye is still supported release of Debian and Bookworm is too new for me to upgrade to it.

Having same problem on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS! Tried to install Insomnia 8.0.0. I'm a paying subscriber to Insomnia and this is really, really annoying!
