[Bug 1894115] [NEW] After upgrade of packages cannot open applications installed through snap

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In my Ubuntu 20.04 I did an update/upgrade through Software Updater
yesterday (2020-09-02). I do the updates regularly so I guess the
updates are like 1 week old at most. The new kernel also got installed:
5.4.0-45-generic (from 5.4.0-42-generic).

After this the PC was freezing constantly, immediately or some time
after login. So I returned to the 5.4.0-42-generic kernel.

Now the PC is not freezing any more but I cannot open any application
that was installed through snap (Ubuntu Software). Not even this Ubuntu
Software (snap store) itself.

For example when trying libreoffice:

~$ libreoffice
/snap/libreoffice/191/snap/command-chain/desktop-launch: line 50: /home/croraf/.config/user-dirs.dirs: Permission denied
sed: can't read /home/croraf/.config/user-dirs.dirs: Permission denied

or with sudo:

NOTE: I'm not sure if all apps installed through Ubuntu Software fail. I
also use https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux application for
which I see the files in ~/snap/ but am not sure if I run it through
snap or not, because I had some applications installed both through snap
and through apt.
