It's been ~2 months since I last opened Netbeans on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine. Nothing happens when I choose Netbeans from my quick-start menu. From the command line, "netbeans" gives me this output:

>/ has 'other' write 40757=

"sudo netbeans" give the exact same output. Seems like some people end up with a similar error when opening other programs ("/ has 'other' write 40777"), but changing the permissions of /var/lib/snapd like shown here <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51027327/ubuntu-18-04-var-lib-snapd-has-other-write-40777> does not fix the problem for me. (To be honest, I don't even remember if I used snap to install Netbeans. I think I remember there being multiple ways and only one of them working, but this was years ago now.)

Has anyone had this problem before? Does anyone know how to go about fixing it?

Thanks very much for any help, and please do let me know if there's any other information I should provide, or if there are any resources I should use to educate myself about what's actually going on here.

John
