Title:
skype snap does not work when home directory is not located in /home
Status in snapd package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi
similar to this bug around libreoffice
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1751005),
apparmor makes the skype snap not work without any information except
this:
cannot create user data directory: /data/home/georges/snap/skype/23:
Permission denied
despite the directory being writeable.
It would really be advisable to make apparmor specific errors, else
end-users will never determine where the error comes from.
The error is here:
Mar 23 22:35:08 breeze kernel: [6580445.024083] audit: type=1400
audit(1521840908.018:6807): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="/snap/core/4206/usr/lib/snapd/snap-confine" name="/data/" pid=7213
comm="snap-confine" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1001 ouid=0
I tried to remove the problem like this:
sudo apparmor_parser -R
/etc/apparmor.d/snap.core.4206.usr.lib.snapd.snap-confine
Which gives a new issue
$ skype
snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be.
Refusing to continue to avoid permission escalation attacks
