None of my snaps are starting Permission denied [closed]

Discord and qemu stopped working with this latest update. There seems to be a permissions problem with the snap user.

As a for instance

/snap/discord/128/snap/command-chain/desktop-launch: line 50: /home/captain/.config/user-dirs.dirs: Permission denied
/snap/discord/128/snap/command-chain/desktop-launch : line 261: permission denied
Failed to generate minidump.Segmentation fault (core dumped)

On 21.04 gnome.

This was from an original 18.04 upgraded to 21.04.
