Issue description

When I run zellij I see a quick text appears, and then no session window. I am back to the window from where I ran the command. I checked the zellij.log it doesn't have anything printed about the error. So somehow I manged to get atleast to the see the text was comming and disappearing like below.

 zellij > ~/.stderr.log
thread 'main' panicked at zellij-client/src/lib.rs:219:44:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Permission denied" }
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Minimal reproduction

I have it installed locally. Still wanted to check if the error is my setup. But I see when I run this bash <(curl -L zellij.dev/launch) I see the same issue as I said above.

Note. I had Ubuntu 20.x before and it was working. I just did an upgrade to my OS to the version I mentioned above, and it is broken now.

Seems like Zellij does not have permission to create this folder: https://docs.rs/directories/5.0.1/directories/struct.ProjectDirs.html#method.cache_dir

We use it for the IPC files to communicate between the Zellij client and server. Can't run without it...

Ok. What do I need to do here? It was working, just after the upgrade of OS it broke.
