Thank you very much for testing that, having the input of the directly
affected user is always highly valuable for debugging.
** Description changed:
- chromium 123.0.6312.122 2821 latest/stable canonical
+ CURRENT WORKAROUND
+ ------------------
+
+ snap disconnect chromium:dot-local-share-applications
+ snap disconnect chromium:dot-local-share-icons
+
+ Those are just "quality of life" interfaces (c.f. LP:1732482) that most
+ users probably do not even use, disconnecting them will cause no
+ breakage. (Of course, a proper diagnosis and fix is due.)
+
+ ORIGINAL REPORT
+ ---------------
cannot update snap namespace: cannot expand mount entry (none
$HOME/.local/share none x-snapd.kind=ensure-dir,x-snapd.must-exist-
dir=$HOME 0 0): cannot use invalid home directory
"/home/department/user_name": permission denied
Fails to start on Ubuntu 22.04 for users with 'non-standard' home directory
/home/department/user_name
Used to work fine up to last week.
