My second SSD is mounted at "/home/maxime/Data/" to facilitate remote access. Also, since there is not a lot a space in my system SSD, I moved the /tmp folder to "/home/maxime/Data/.tmp" My problem is that now many applications simply do not launch because they don't have access to the external SSD. I tried the sudo snap connect commands, :

maxime@maxime:~$ sudo snap connect google-chrome-stable:removable-media
error: snap "google-chrome-stable" has no plug named "removable-media"

I think this command gives access to /media and /mnt, but my drive isn't mounted there. Also, many apps do not have "plugs" to connect to an external SSD because they don't see a use for it. BUT, since my tmp folder is on an external SSD, I would like for all apps to have access to this drive.

  • Is your google-chrome a snap? I've only see deb packages for chrome.. We don't know your release details, and it may help if you tell us how you've referred or mounted your tmp (I assume an fstab entry, but providing that entry may help us understand your issue). – guiverc Jun 12 '21 at 13:01
  • Does this answer your question? How to get access to USB-storage from an application installed as Snap?. Use official chrome deb-package instead. – N0rbert Jun 12 '21 at 14:35
  • So my drive is mounted as follow: /dev/disk/by-uuid/026E62771A0969F0 /home/maxime/Data auto uid=1000,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0

    I am not 100% sure that chrome is a snap, but since software install also doesn't lauch, I assume the problem was the same. There are other app, like firefox, that have no problem launching
