Cannot launch CC after installation via snap on Ubuntu 16.04

Post by tejaskhot »

Following the instructions on the installation I successfully installed CC using

Code: Select all

sudo snap install cloudcompare
However, on trying to launch it, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

$ sudo cloudcompare.CloudCompare 
cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /home /tmp/snap.rootfs_WAQBpn//home: Permission denied
If I try launching it without sudo, I get an additional warning that says

Code: Select all

2017/11/20 23:26:57.284007 cmd_run.go:275: WARNING: XAUTHORITY environment value is not a clean path: "/usr1/home/username/.Xauthority"
How do I fix this?
