My PC fails to run snap packages, when I try I get: 2021/07/31 20:56:38.255535 cmd_run.go:576: WARNING: XAUTHORITY environment value is not a clean path: "/mnt/e664d184-8567-4278-93ce-c986567c66af/home/iaquobe/.Xauthority" cannot create user data directory: /home/iaquobe/snap/shapezio/2: Not a directory The directories do however exist. So far the packages I tested are 0ad shapezio whatsdesk, all of them had the same issue. Those packages do run on my laptop. One thing that is different is that on my PC /home/iaquobe is a symbolic link to a drive at /mnt/[...]/home. This is the only cause for this error I could think of, what do you think? And what could I do to fix it? Thanks in advance :)
