Popcorn Time not working

So I just made the switch from Ubuntu 14.04 to Trisquel 7.0 (by installing Trisquel over Ubuntu), and what I noticed is that Popcorn Time now fails to load (it worked perfectly before).

The specific Popcorn Time I'm speaking of is the WebUp8 PPA package version 0.3.7.2-1.

The app opens a gray window for a split second and then crashes and shuts down automatically (I attached the screenshot of the moment when it happens).

Does anyone knows why this might be happening?

this is where you download it - no need to add third party ppas -> https://popcorntime.io

sudo apt-get install fonts-liberation

cheers!

Amazing! Installing the fonts did it for me! Huge thanks.

Do you find it too concerning to use the WebUp8 PPA? They seem pretty trustworthy, no?

As far as I know, yes, they are.

Thing is, Popcorn Time updates itself automatically, so you don't need to use a PPA.
