@seb128 — I can load files from ~/bin, but when I try to save, I get this error (screenshot attached):
Could not save the file "/home/paddy/bin/myscript". You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. The same is true for others such as ~/.local/ or ~/.bashrc, and for system files loaded with "sudo -H gedit". ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of error when trying to save" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1897562/+attachment/5414989/+files/Save%20to%20bin%20error.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897562 Title: gedit needs classic confinement Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The snap version of gedit prevents viewing and editing files outside a strictly limited set of folders. For example, it cannot change files in standard folders ~/bin or ~/.local or ~/.config, or standard files such as ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile. Even "sudo -H gedit /etc/fstab" doesn't work. As there is a bug in the non-snap versions [1], the snap version is important, but sadly it is unusable for a certain number of cases. I understand that the only solution is to make gedit available in classic confinement. Please would you do this.
