I have set up sssd and joined my 18.04 LTS workstation to the company domain. Most things work OK except for a couple of snap applications. When trying to run them I get errors creating files in ~/snap.

:~$ skype cannot create user data directory: /home/[domain]/[user]/snap/skype/48: Permission denied

Skype works if I run it as root, however I would prefer not to do that.

The mail app hiri however refuses to let me write in it even if I club it with chmod -R 777

~$ hiri cannot create user data directory: /home/[domain]/[user]/snap/hiri/55: Permission denied

What am I missing?

The issue is due to the user home folder being part of the domain.

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure apparmor

Then, specify "/home/[DOMAIN]/" as an additional user home directory. This should resolve the permission issue for all the applications
