System Monitor does not launch

My PC has Ubuntu 18.04 installed.
It does not want to launch the System Monitor.
This seems to be an OS related issue. I have launched it before and it worked fine. Possibly due to some updates it has stopped working.
I am not looking for a solution. I just wanted to report this and I hope the issue will be remedied soon with an update.
I would like to know whether other people have the same issue with 18.04.
More info:
I try to launch it via:
Super+A, open System Monitor. No errors. For a few seconds the "loading circle" tries to convince me that there is an attempt to launch it. But then it disappears and nothing happens.I am not sure whether this is the command to open from the terminal, but when I run
gnome-system-monitor, it tells me:
/snap/gnome-system-monitor/41/bin/desktop-launch: line 23: /home/sandu/.config/user-dirs.dirs: Permission denied
You need to connect this snap to the gnome platform snap.
You can do this with those commands:
snap install gnome-3-26-1604
snap connect gnome-system-monitor:gnome-3-26-1604 gnome-3-26-1604
(the '3-26-1604' number defines the platform version and might change)

Yes, but please understand my frustration: it worked fine before. It should work fine without me moving a finger. Why is it that it has stopped working? Why do I have System Monitor in the Applications if it does not even launch? This looks like a bug to me. A minor one, but it is.

The issue is Ubuntu shipped snap version of system monitor with 18.04. This issue is specifically due that decision. If you want a hassle-free fix, consider removing the snap version (snap remove gnome-system-monitor) and install the traditional one (sudo apt install gnome-system-monitor).

Is some package-dependency not solved ?
For system-monitor there is package rsyslog (or rsyslogd ? ) necessary.
You should install it with:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall rsyslog
Am not sure if this is today correct, because this was a while ago necessary. You might check further dependencies here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/gnome-system-monitor
Maybe a "sudo apt-get install --reinstall " helps and then reboot your machine.
