Version information:

go-ipfs version: 0.7.0-ea77213e3
Repo version: 10
System version: amd64/linux
Golang version: go1.14.9

Description:

Tried both way, but ipfs only start repo on snap path, and /ipfsrepo/ubuntu still empty

$ IPFS_PATH=/ipfsrepo/ubuntu ipfs init
generating ED25519 keypair...done
peer identity: 12D3KooWEAn7ZszToMCz1Ux5G145Cp4Qm1YvwggfprzPEAP9N8TD
initializing IPFS node at /home/ubuntu/snap/ipfs/common
Error: ipfs configuration file already exists!
Reinitializing would overwrite your keys.

$ export IPFS_PATH=/ipfsrepo/ubuntu
$ ipfs init

its snap problem

initializing IPFS node at /home/ubuntu/snap/ipfs/common

Snap, by default only allows IPFS to access that directory. However, you can easily give it access to peripheral storage by following this guide.

I am not saying doing that will fix it, but it definitely won't work if you don't do that. In my case, Snap is overriding my preferences because "cgroup v2 is not fully supported yet" so I don't know if it will work for me.

If you haven't already, change your permission settings and report back please.
