I've upgraded slack (v4.27.154) via snap on 20.04 and slack no longer runs. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I've never messed with apparmor either.

After attempting to start slack, I see the following message in the Logs application.

audit: type=1400 audit(1656462082.516:35): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="snap.slack.slack" name="/etc/slack.conf" pid=4493 comm="slack" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

This appears to be apparmor. So then I see the following:

$ sudo aa-status
[sudo] password for me:

After searching for the snap.slack.slack file (thinking I can add it to the disable directory), I find only the following files:

/sys/fs/cgroup/devices/snap.slack.slack
/var/cache/apparmor/26b63962.0/snap.slack.slack
/var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.slack.slack

But there are no files in /etc/apparmor.d for snap.slack.slack.

Anyone have ideas?

I have the same problem with same slack and Ubuntu version.

For the moment I've made a snap revert slack to go back to version 4.26.1 and slack is working again.

I have made a comparison between old and new /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.slack.slack profiles and it is the same (except SNAP_REVISION).

I can't find any mention of /etc/slack.conf access into snap.slack.slack profile.

I have a slack.conf file in /etc/ but it is related to an other slack application : slack - Sysadmin's lazy autoconfiguration kit
