Title:
  gnome-calculator (snap) fails on 19.10

Status in snapd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello -- This is a clean Ubuntu 10.10 install onto a new disk.  For
  many days now I've been clicking on the calculator.  It just doesn't
  work.  No message or error report.  I am looking for an alternative
  caclulator to install.

  Today I tried to run the calculator from the command line --It failed
  but at least it displayed some information about the error that stops
  it working.  See below:

  As you can see the requisite directory is There!

  I am sad to report that this kind of error has been seen before on
  19.04 I had hoped eventually someone would correct this -- There is a
  systemic failure here makins snaps.  None of them appear to work with
  my install.

  My home directory is on Another disk.  This is pretty much standard
  practice in my work place.  I recommend this problem be fixed for ALL
  snaps.
