DSS snap tries to create a `logs` directory in the current working directory

[motjuste]

Bug Description

AFAICT, DSS is a strict snap. But, upon running any dss command, it tries to create a logs directory in the current-working-directory from where the command is run. This is not only not expected, it can cause failures if dss does not have access / permissions to write to the current-working-directory.

To Reproduce

1. sudo snap install data-science-stack --channel 1.0/edge
2. sudo mkdir /tmp/somewhere
3. cd /tmp/somewhere
4. dss - Fails

Environment

• Ubuntu Jammy
  Linux nvidia-dgx-station-c25989 5.15.0-134-generic #145-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 12 20:08:39 UTC 2025 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
