--------------- chromium-browser (1:85.0.4183.83-0ubuntu0.20.04.2) focal; urgency=medium [ Sébastien Bacher ] * debian/apport/chromium-browser.py: - the profile is now installed in the common directory (LP: #1900170) -- Olivier Tilloy <olivier.til...@canonical.com> Thu, 22 Oct 2020 18:07:20 +0200 ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu Focal) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- 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/1900170 Title: apport hook looks for snap profile folder in the wrong place Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in chromium-browser source package in Focal: Fix Released Bug description: Since https://git.launchpad.net/~chromium-team/chromium-browser/+git /snap-from-source/commit/?id=d7e3b7f8, the default profile directory for the chromium snap was moved from $SNAP_USER_DATA to $SNAP_USER_COMMON (to mitigate the effects of bug #1616650). But the apport hook in the transitional deb package wasn't updated accordingly. [Impact] Bugs filed with `ubuntu-bug chromium-browser` have incomplete data attached. See e.g. the attachements to bug #1899356. There's a file called HookError_chromium_browser.txt with a python traceback because the profile directory wasn't found in the expected location. [Test Case] In focal, apt install chromium-browser, then run chromium at least once to ensure there is a profile directory (under $HOME/snap/chromium/common/chromium), then run `ubuntu-bug chromium- browser`. Observe that there isn't a FileNotFoundError traceback in the terminal for an unknown profile directory, and that the apport dialog with a summary of the information to be posted doesn't contain a "HookError_chromium_browser" entry. [Regression Potential] This affects only the apport hook for chromium-browser, the application itself shouldn't be affected. The hook should be verified to continue working by running the `ubuntu-bug chromium-browser` command and carefully inspecting the information that would be sent to launchpad.
