Running Gnome Wayland. Installed cool-retro-term via snap. Getting:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "wayland-egl"
in "".

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Facing the exactly same problem using a Wayland session on Ubuntu 20.04. I checked the link of @StuPagely and i confirm it seems to be the exact same problem.
I know nothing of snap packaging but ok to try the fix if someone can give me a hint on building process ;-)
