This is fixed in the latest version. Thanks for reporting this!

oh wtf, this explains my problems with this snap. Signal just stopped starting some time ago.

FWIW I have an extremely hacky workaround, that's been successfully working for me for the past couple of weeks. It requires at least one of the standard xdg-user-dirs being in its standard location and not being a symlink. For definiteness, let's take ~/Downloads
as the directory that's not a symlink (but it could be one of the others, though probably not Public
or Templates
).
- Edit
~/snap/signal-desktop/current/.config/user-dirs.dirs
replacing the locations of the symlinked directories with the location of the directory that isn't a symlink. For example, replace what would normally be:
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
with:
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
-
Remove all the currently existing non-hidden symlinks in
~/snap/signal-desktop/current/
. -
Run
signal-desktop
.
(I hope that I haven't forgotten about any steps, since I did it a while ago.)
The point is to cheat whatever apparmor (?) confinement policies are there, by passing a set of paths that can be definitely accessed, by whatever it is that needs to access the home dirs.
