I have had to set up my Ubuntu system again after some issues and want to mount a partition of by big drive for easy access. I had it before at /data

I have added it to fstab

UUID=da4bd237-85df-4811-ad3a-997419506567 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
/swapfile                                 none            swap    sw              0       0
UUID=ec9ea02e-8da1-4044-8442-53300f958000 /data ext4 defaults 0 0

I can access it fine via Files and load documents in LibreOffice, but Audacity just does not see /data at all. Permissions look fine.

drwxr-xr-x   3 root root       4096 Jul 18 18:22 boot/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root       4096 Jun 15 21:10 cdrom/
drwxrwxrwx  19 root root       4096 Mar  6  2018 data/
drwxr-xr-x  21 root root       5000 Jul 22 21:32 dev/
drwxr-xr-x 132 root root      12288 Jul 22 21:31 etc/

Any ideas?

The issue seems to be that Audacity was a snap. Using the regular version from the reps works. This is the before and after.

audacity is /snap/bin/audacity
steve@zaphod:~$ type -a audacity
audacity is /usr/bin/audacity
audacity is /bin/audacity
steve@zaphod:~$

Snap apps has to be explicitly given permission to access removable media. Original solution posted here

sudo snap connect %APP NAME%:removable-media
