Applications like phpstorm, skype, slack etc won't open. Even system monitor, calculator etc don't open as well. I can open terminal, browsers, software & updates. How to fix this? Tried rebooting many times.

When trying to launch from terminal eg. skype
output is
/var not root-owned 1000:0
Trying to launch from ubuntu software nothing happens as well from statup.
I removed gnome-system-monitor
snap and reinstalled using apt
by running the following in Terminal:
snap remove gnome-system-monitor
sudo apt install gnome-system-monitor
Now system monitor starts.
snap remove gnome-system-monitor sudo apt install gnome-system-monitor
now system monitor starts. Will try with other apps
