Hi Alberto, the audit log output when starting firefox is the following: Sep 23 06:49:13 ub22mate audit[5486]: AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="mkdir" profile="/snap/snapd/16778/usr/lib/snapd/snap-confine" name="/tmp/guest-tikhhx/" pid=5486 comm="snap-confine" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c" fsuid=997 ouid=997
The permissions of the created directory are: guest-tikhhx@ub22mate:~$ ls -la /tmp/guest-tikhhx/snap/firefox/ insgesamt 0 drwxr-xr-x 4 guest-tikhhx guest-tikhhx 100 Sep 23 06:49 . drwx------ 3 guest-tikhhx guest-tikhhx 60 Sep 23 06:49 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 guest-tikhhx guest-tikhhx 40 Sep 23 06:49 1860 drwxr-xr-x 2 guest-tikhhx guest-tikhhx 40 Sep 23 06:49 common lrwxrwxrwx 1 guest-tikhhx guest-tikhhx 4 Sep 23 06:49 current -> 1860 And just to be clear: this seems to be a Snap problem, not a Firefox problem, as the Snaps of Chromium, Opera and Skype show same behaviour. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1593407 Title: Guest session cannot run snaps Status in Light Display Manager: Confirmed Status in Snappy: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu MATE: Confirmed Status in Desktop: New Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in lightdm source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in snapd source package in Xenial: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.
