On 20.04.2, I had the same problem. I don't know how to solve it. My permission is root.

You set a folder path (probably for the log) in your config.yaml to include /home/chia/ and you don't have permission to modify /home/ to create /home/chia/ without using i.e. sudo
You should consider using /home/user/chia/ where user is your username, because you have the permissions to modify your own home folder.
