Access Denied: Cannot Read /usr/bin When Installed as Snap

See original GitHub issue

System information:

  • Elementary OS 5.1
  • DBeaver 6.3.1

Connection specification:

  • MariaDB
  • MySQL

Describe your question:

I am not able to read my system’s /usr/bin path within DBeaver when it is installed through the Snap packaging system. I have A MySQL and MariaDB client on my local machine in that directory and would like to use DBeaver to dump databases. Is there any insight some one can provide?

I apologize if this is a technical limitation of Snap and does not belong here.

My case was an issue when trying to save a DUMP on a second HDD. I solved by following steps:

1st - open ubuntu software 2nd - search for dbeaver-ce 3rd - after installed it, click Permissions 4th - check Read/write files on removable storage devices

Hope it might help someone in the future.

Cheers
