'Ubuntu 18.04 /var/lib/snapd has 'other' write 40777

Tried to start Calculator in Ubuntu, but received the following message:

/var/lib/snapd has 'other' write 40777

Not sure what that means. I just want to start Calculator. Weird. Any ideas?

In fact, to resolve the problem for all the applications related snap you must do:

sudo chmod 755 /

Solution 2:[2]

I was face "/has 'other' write 40777" problem when try to open vscode from terminal. That was fixed by "sudo chmod 755 /" command.
