I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.5 on x64 PC. Packaged version of Okular is too ancient for my needs, so I installed the newest Okular snap. Unfortunately, it crashes on launch. Here is the log:

Launching Okular from Gnome fails too. BTW, there are two Okular icons for some reason, both behaving the same:
I would appreciate any clues to resolve this problem.
EDIT
More system info as requested:
paul@extra:~$ which okular
/snap/bin/okular
paul@extra:~$ okular --version
Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket
okular 1.10.0
paul@extra:~$ dpkg -l | grep -i okular
paul@extra:~$ apt list -a --installed okular*
Listing... Done
paul@extra:~$
The okular 1.10.0
version is surprising, since I was installing Okular snap, which is supposed to be v20.04.0.
