Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 24.04: removing deb-eog (sudo apt remove eog) and installing
snap-eog (sudo snap install eog)
eog then fails to open local files, for example
# eog ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/firefox.png
produces the attached screenshot with "Failed to open input stream for file".
The file exists and can be opened with deb-eog.
To my knowledge, may be solved if you add the personal-files interface
to the snap.
But I think that would not solve all the problems, because
# eog /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/firefox.png
would still result in the same error.
Please make the snap eog able to access all local files. It's just not a
viable replacement for the deb eog otherwise.
