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

[Vedran Rafaelic]

It is definitely the issue with snaps. I also attach the dmesg made on
an updated 5.4.0-45-generic kernel (that is also often freezing after
login)

Title:
  After upgrade of packages cannot open applications installed through
  snap

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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

  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.
