Emacs GUI only works when launched from the terminal

I am using ubuntu 20.04, and I have installed GNU Emacs 27.1 from snap using the command:

sudo snap install emacs --classic

I want to use it for Python development, but if I launch emacs from the app menu, most of the associated packages don't work (I.e. eldoc, elpy). When I open the terminal and type emacs to access the GUI, everything works fine.

Any tips on how I could troubleshoot this?

I was able to resolve the issue by uninstalling the snap and installing emacs using the PPA repository.
