Still looks like a bug not a feature. If it were a feature, it would have the necessary communications with the end user sorted out completely. I wasn't even aware of this crucifying limitation until I saw an error on 18.04 via hugo:
client1:/media/web_server/hugo$ hugo new site hugotest Error: Failed to create dir: mkdir /var/lib/snapd/void/hugotest: permission denied If it were a feature, then snap itself would say something about snap app can't write outside of your home directory. As far as a feature goes, it precludes any user with a NAS or any kind of network share. It's too dumbed-down to be of use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1643706 Title: snap apps need to be able to browse outside of user $HOME dir. for Desktop installs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1643706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
