Bug Description

I installed Appflowy on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS using snap. It was working until last week, but since then the app is not launching.

error I get on snap run appflowy :

chandan@chandans-ideapad-5:~$ snap run appflowy

Gtk-Message: 13:23:07.385: Not loading module "atk-bridge": The functionality is provided by GTK natively. Please try to not load it. /usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids: No such file or directory thread '<unnamed>' panicked at /home/runner/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/tracing-appender-0.2.3/src/rolling.rs:154:14: initializing rolling file appender failed: InitError { context: "failed to create initial log file", source: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" } } note: run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display a backtrace fatal runtime error: failed to initiate panic, error 5 Aborted (core dumped)

running it with sudo doesn't work either.

How to Reproduce

install using snap... try running the app.

Expected Behavior

App runs.

Operating System

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

AppFlowy Version(s)

v0.5.0 rev29

Screenshots

@LucasXu0 launching it through the terminal ./AppFlowy works as expected... only the launcher has this issue.

Got it. So it failed when you executed sudo snap run appflowy, but you were able to run it through appflowy or ./AppFlowy, right?

yup :)

Can you post the output from the terminal if you open AppFlowy via the './appflowy' command, without using 'snap run'?
