Title:
Multiple user profiles behavior inconsistent in Chromium snap on
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Just did a clean install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. After updating packages
and installing chromium snap 81.0.4044.138
I signed in to my main account (I'll call it profile 1)
Profile Path: /home/photon/snap/chromium/1143/.config/chromium/Default
I tried to place a website shortcut in the desktop to my launch my
website directly
But whenever I tried to open the shortcut
https://i.stack.imgur.com/dFxlD.png,
it opened a different (generic) user window with the default new tab,
not my signed in user nor my website (I'll call this profile 2).
Profile Path: /home/photon/.config/chromium/Default
Whatever shortcuts I created in profile 1 it just open a window on
profile 2, a new window like clicking Ctrl + N
I decided to sign in to profile 2 using a different account to test
and place a shortcut https://i.stack.imgur.com/2FczV.png,
this time the shortcut opened properly windowed instance of the
website I wanted, it also displayed the website icon properly on the
desktop and the app launcher, no workarounds needed
Now, this worked only for the shortcuts created through profile 2 and
opens automatically in profile 2 , which path is:
Profile Path: /home/photon/.config/chromium/Default
Also, the chromium icon in the app launcher, opens profile 1
Profile Path: /home/photon/snap/chromium/1143/.config/chromium/Default
Note 1: shortcut created through profile 1:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
