I am using Ubuntu 20.04. I have installed Joplin using Snapcraft by the following command in terminal -

sudo snap install joplin-james-carroll

I have a file DMBS.odg. I have attached the file in my Joplin App notebook. After that, when I click on the attachment I am unable to open the file. I am getting Access Denied error.

Following is my error -

Access to /home/payel/snap/joplin-james-carroll/56/.config/joplin-desktop/tmp/edited_resources/DBMS(1).org was denied.

Also, my file name is DBMS.org and not DBMS(1).org. But in the error message it is saying DBMS(1).org

Note:

I have installed Joplin in both my Ubuntu desktop and Android mobile and I have synchronized my Joplin App in both devices using Dropbox. The attachment is opening without any problem in my Android device. It is not opening only in my Desktop device.

Update:

snap connect joplin-desktop:removable-media

Gives me the output -

error: snap "joplin-desktop" has no plug named "removable-media"

snap interfaces  | grep -v ".*-$" | grep joplin

Gives me the output -

'snap interfaces' is deprecated; use 'snap connections'.

Update 2:

Followed the steps as asked by @N0bert

Now getting the error -

Access to /home/payel/snap/joplin-desktop/4/.config/joplin-desktop/tmp/edited-resources/DBMS.odg was denied

Only in the original error joplin-james-carroll is now replaced by joplin-desktop

For me it seems that you use wrong version of Joplin. The joplin-james-carroll is unofficial, but joplin-desktop is official.

So you have to:

  1. Remove unofficial snap:

    sudo snap remove joplin-james-carroll

  2. Install official snap:

    sudo snap install joplin-desktop

  3. Connect removable media to freshly installed snap:

    sudo snap connect joplin-desktop:removable-media
