"Okay the root cause is the interaction between gnome file manager and Qt’s QFileDialog. I found the following on GitHub under a different project (Flameshot) where users were complaining of the same behavior under 20.04, I think from their developer:

I expect the folder to change to the one I select and not something in /run/user which is ephemeral and created by pam_systemd. Go to settings/downloads, click to change folder and select literally any folder. I can’t put my finger on when this started, but downloads had been working correctly previously (maybe before I upgraded Ubuntu to 20.04).

Then when I actually right-click a file to save it, I have to navigate to the location I want in my home folder. You have to close the running Snap applications and then update them.Using Brave on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, when I select “home” (/home/sean) as my default download folder, Brave changes this to “/run/user/1000/doc/33d63c81/sean” Please note that some Snap applications (that are usually installed in classic mode) are not updated in the background. You can also provide multiple packages to be updated. You'll need to be precise with the package name, of course. If you only want to update a specific Snap package, use: sudo snap refresh package_name If you don't want to wait till the next Snap refresh, you can surely manually update all the Snap packages that can be updated.Īll you have to do is to run this command: sudo snap refreshĪnd see the updates take place. If no Snap package has updates, you'll see this message. You can check which Snap packages have updates available with the following command: snap refresh -list See which Snap applications can be updated For example, sudo snap set system refresh.timer=6:00-8:00,20:00-22:00 will make the Snap update check to happen between 6 and 8 in the morning and 8 and 10 at night.

You can change the refresh schedule for snaps using refresh.timer option.
