I'm sure there is a better way of fixing this. I just thought I would put it out there to save someone some frustration.
I'm no expert, just trying to be helpful.
Problem:
When using JetBrains toolbox on an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution, the tool gives me an error:
Failed to prepare Directory. Unable to create version folder: /home/solomon/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/IDEA-U/ch-0/[a version number]
Details:
751
Go to the Toolbox App settings (choose Settings under the locknut icon in the upper right-hand corner of the main Toolbox App screen), scroll down to the Tools section and change the Tools install location field. How do I open a GitHub, GitLab, or BitBucket project in a JetBrains IDE?
Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\Toolbox\apps. macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps. Linux: ~/. local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps.
It offers free community versions of our popular Python and Java integrated development environments. It provides tools for learning Python, Java, and Kotlin, designed by professional developers.
I also just ran into this, and it turns out that the ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox was set to root ownership. I must have used sudo when running it originally.
The following fixed it:
sudo chown -R <username>:<username> ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox

Can fix by adding read and write priveleges to the directory where it's installed:
sudo chmod -R 777 /home/[username]/.local/share/JetBrains
