X-based snaps doesn't work on some distros with KDE5 since the XAUTHORITY env variable points to `/tmp/xauth-${UID}-${DISPLAY/:/_}` that is not usable inside a snap since `/tmp/` is remounted (see kdeinit5).
**Workaround**:
You can launch the snap (tested on ArchLinux) using the old ~/.Xauthority file:
```
XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority /snap/bin/vlc
```
If you don't have an updated `~/.Xauthority` just do `cp /tmp/xauth-${UID}-${DISPLAY/:/_} ~/.Xauthority` |
