I should have specified that I'm experiencing the error on Ubuntu Server. I just tested on my laptop running Ubuntu Desktop and it works fine.
I also found that on my headless Ubuntu Servers if you install the ubuntu-desktop metapackage before you install the chromium snap, everything will work fine then too. However, if you install the chromium snap before you install the ubuntu-desktop metapackage it will still be broken even after the ubuntu-desktop metapackage is done installing. I'd still reckon that this is a regression though, because chromium snap revision 1421 was working fine in headless mode on a standard install of Ubuntu Server without the need to install any other packages first. -- 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/1908284 Title: [snap] chromium headless crashes in revision 1424 Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 and it looks like the current stable version of the Chromium snap has an issue running headless: ``` tjcravey@chromium:~$ chromium --headless --remote-debugging-port=9222 https://chromium.org [0100/000000.240635:ERROR:zygote_linux.cc(607)] Zygote could not fork: process_type gpu-process numfds 3 child_pid -1 [0100/000000.240882:ERROR:zygote_linux.cc(639)] write: Broken pipe (32) Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) ``` ``` tjcravey@chromium:~$ snap info chromium name: chromium summary: Chromium web browser, open-source version of Chrome publisher: Canonical✓ store-url: https://snapcraft.io/chromium contact: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bugs?field.tag=snap license: unset description: | An open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all Internet users to experience the web. commands: - chromium.chromedriver - chromium snap-id: XKEcBqPM06H1Z7zGOdG5fbICuf8NWK5R tracking: latest/stable refresh-date: today at 15:33 UTC channels: latest/stable: 87.0.4280.88 2020-12-10 (1424) 124MB - latest/candidate: 87.0.4280.88 2020-12-10 (1424) 124MB - latest/beta: 88.0.4324.41 2020-12-15 (1441) 144MB - latest/edge: 89.0.4350.4 2020-12-11 (1434) 257MB - installed: 87.0.4280.88 (1424) 124MB - ``` I was able to revert back to snap 1421 on a different system and that command works fine there.
