[Bug 2066891] Re: [snap] eog cannot access all images on the filesystem

 

This affects me too. I use UbuntuStudio 24.04.2
When I start eog from the command line I get error reports as seen in the attachment.
Maybe snap-eog should use snap-gnome?

Title:
  [snap] eog cannot access all images on the filesystem

Status in eog package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 24.04: removing deb-eog (sudo apt remove eog) and installing
  snap-eog (sudo snap install eog)

  eog then fails to open local files, for example
  # eog ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/firefox.png
  produces the attached screenshot with "Failed to open input stream for file". The file exists and can be opened with deb-eog.

  To my knowledge, may be solved if you add the personal-files interface
  to the snap.

  But I think that would not solve all the problems, because
  # eog /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/firefox.png
  would still result in the same error.

  Please make the snap eog able to access all local files. It's just not
  a viable replacement for the deb eog otherwise.
