Public bug reported: This appears to be a rather recent regression. I started observing this about a month ago (beginning of July 2019), and it was recently reported by another user (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/call-for-testing- chromium-browser-deb-to-snap-transition/11179/95).
Steps to reproduce: 0) Make sure the chromium snap is your default browser 1) Open the chromium snap, and do your usual browsing activities 2) Open a terminal, and execute `xdg-open https://example.org` 2b) Repeat step 2 a few times until you get a notification that chromium crashed, offering to restore the previous session When the crash happens, I'm seeing this relevant error: [ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(207)] read() failed: Permission denied (13) and the corresponding entries in journalctl: juil. 31 09:53:07 bribon audit[25535]: AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="file_perm" profile="snap.chromium.chromium" name="/run/user/1000/snap.chromium/.org.chromium.Chromium.LWcyoF/SingletonSocket" pid=25535 comm="chrome" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 juil. 31 09:53:07 bribon audit[25535]: AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="file_perm" profile="snap.chromium.chromium" name="/run/user/1000/snap.chromium/.org.chromium.Chromium.LWcyoF/SingletonSocket" pid=25535 comm="chrome" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0 ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical Assignee: Olivier Tilloy (osomon) Status: Triaged ** Tags: snap -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838508 Title: [snap] chromium crashes when opening a URL from an external application Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: This appears to be a rather recent regression.
