Comment 58 for bug 1620771

Hi reetp, I'm specifically addressing you because your use-case is exactly the case that I'm attempting to support in the "phase 1" of removing this annoying limitation: that is, when the home directories are located somewhere deeper under the /home directory (we are also working on fixing the generic case where the home directory is located elsewhere, but that looks like a bigger effort which will take more time).

I made a small change to snapd, to have it create the apparmor snippet mentioned in comment #6, and that seems to work for me: I do have a user whose home is

    /home/folks/<user>/

and snapd created a file /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/snapd with the line

    @{HOMEDIRS}+="/home/folks"

After a reboot (this should not be needed in the final version), I could install snaps and run them without issues. If a similar apparmor snippet does not work for you, can you please let me know what snaps are failing, and what errors messages you get?
