To solve this issue, you need to revert permissions to .atom config folder:

sudo chown <user>:<user> /home/<user>/.atom -hR

Seeing your image, I presume it's

sudo chown k:k /home/k/.atom -hR

If this doesn't solve it, I suggest you reinstall Atom using the deb package directly downloaded from Atom site (that's how I installed in my computer):

sudo dpkg -i atom-amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

The last line is to install dependencies.
