Based on Zygmunt and my comments regarding getpwent(), this bug is a bit misnamed and as described this bug could be marked Invalid.
@Christopher - can you confirm that getpwent() works for you? @Zygmunt and @Gustavo, should we export USER_HOME (or similar) that has the user's home directory from getpwent() to make this easier for people? ** Changed in: snappy Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1577471 Title: Snap applications cannot access the user's normal XDG directories To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1577471/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
