Today when I launch a previously working snap store plex-htpc on Ubuntu linux I get an error message
“FATAL:credentials.cc(123)] Check failed: . : Permission denied (13)
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)”
I deleted the snap version and installed the flatpak plex-htpc and all is well again. The server is fine as I can display using the snap store plex-htpc on another client. Server and client are latest versions.
Has anyone else seen this?
I’m also seeing this. System log shows possible apparmor issue:

But I am woefully unqualified to debug this
I just checked my system log. It also has a bunch of apparmor=DENIED in it as follows. Some dev might look here and know what the fix is. On the positive side, the flatpak version of plex-htpc worked flawlessly last night.

Same here, I have 2 linux mint 22 (Ubuntu 24.04) computers and exactly the same error, could be smart to let us install the N previous version from snap, to be able to roll-back to a working version.
I can also confirm that the flatpak package works.
We haven’t changed how the snap is packaged nor permissions nor anything that should be related to this. I can only conclude that something has changed in snap itself.
I would encourage users to switch to flatpak regardless. We implemented snap first because at the time it appeared to be the more popular but that has since shifted in a major way such that snap is in high disfavor.
The snap package works again, like you said it was probably an issue with snap itself.
