It was working OK, presume the snap updated and now it just fails to launch:
fred@HP-Laptop:~$ plex-desktop
[29506:29506:1201/211341.389873:FATAL:credentials.cc(123)] Check failed: . : Permission denied (13)

tried via sudo also, still fails
Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes
plex-desktop 1.105.1 79 latest/stable plexinc✓ -
Seeing the same thing here. Ubuntu 22.04.5.
This is still the case on Ubuntu 24.04. I see the same error that was reported above.
I’ve tried removing and re-installing the snap.
My snap version, however, is 1.106.0 Rev 81.
The following is a work-around:
$ plex-desktop --no-sandbox
I just started having the same problem this afternoon. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. I get the same output. It had worked previously.
I’m in the same boat. It appears that plex-desktop is unable to access my home directory and therefore the --no-sandbox does work around the issue, but this is crazy. I shouldn’t have to run it this way. I despise snaps as it is, but plex should be allowing more interaction with the desktop than this.
I wanted to add though that my directory is within the /home directory structure. This is what i am seeing utilizing a trace function.

further updates, this issue definitely seems to come with the latest 1.106.0 rev 81 release as it is affecting both Ubuntu and Mint distributions and didn’t present until the snaps updated today. I hope plex can chime in on this as I’d like to know if we’ll be utilizing the --no-sandbox workaround from here forward. Additionally, the current plex-desktop/snap configuration causing this issue seems to affect most systems as the Linux Mint install and the other Ubuntu 24.04 install are as clean as can be, as one is completely fresh and the other was a clean/generic install from just a couple months ago. I will say that timing may be an issue as it might be tightening of security at the plex-desktop level, but it could also be due to snapd or even apparmor being updated. I did try to revert to 1.105.2, but the problem still persisted. Maybe a config change that was implemented at the time of 1.106 install. Again, I hope to hear what plex support replies with.
Same here. Ubuntu 24.04.1, Wayland, nvidia driver 565.77, snap plex-desktop app version 1.106.0.
Note: Uninstalled snap version and installed flatpak version and everything is working fine.
I’m not a fan of snap or flatpak and with Ubuntu, it’s almost impossible to get rid of snap. On the Mint machine it might be a viable option as I would prefer to have one or the other if not neither. That all being said, what benefits do you feel flatpak provides that snap does not?
Same here. Ubuntu 24.04, plex-desktop snap version 1.106.0
I have the same problem.
Same problem her on Ubuntu 24.04.01 and stuck somewhat with snap packages. Annoying.
Mr.Plex77, why are you stuck on snap?
Mainlt because I do not want to go through a whole setup process for another OS / de-snappifying my current setup.
Mr.Plex77, flatpak coexists perfectly fine with snap. I don’t like the extra overhead, but I will say that the flatpak, other than some minor gui issues (mouse pointer switching directions when in the app), seems to actually be performing better for plex. It does add an extra level of maintenance as, unlike snap, you have to refresh periodically, However, you do not have to de-snap your OS. On my Mint setup, I did remove snap in favor of flatpak, but on my two ubuntu based OS, it resides in parallel. It’s a simple install and I would highly recommend you consider it. The problem we are experiencing here seems to be snap/apparmour based and is a security issue. As flatpak is all about bundling the application with less concern about security, this type of issue doesn’t seem like it would become an issue under flatpak near as readily.
Can confirm, same issue with my setup - plex-desktop 1.106.0 (snap) and Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. Plex desktop will launch with the “no-sandbox” option: snap run plex-desktop --no-sandbox
I just went the Flatpak route, works fine for Plex like this. Thanks for the explanation!
For full disclosure, I am noticing higher cpu usage with the flatpak than the snap. Particularly with 4K video. I have one system with both loaded and am switching between the two to discern differences in functionality and resource utilization.
You’re welcome! I did the same, installed Flatpak. Seems to work without issues.
I haven’t tried 4K video, but I haven’t noticed a massive difference streaming music from my local Plex Server, between the Snap and Flatpak versions. Maybe Flatpak is a little higher on resources, but nothing that would be a deal breaker for me. But I haven’t really dug into this, only glanced at it after reading your comment.
Would plex please respond?
