I've been using headless chromium on the cli with the --print-to-pdf parameter to generate PDF documents on Ubuntu 20.04 for well over a year.
Chromium has been invoked at: /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome ... by the Apache user, and, because APT forces the SNAP Chromium package, rather than the standard Debian package, and because the Apache user's (www-data) home directory is /var/www and not /home/www-data, one cannot invoke Chromium via Apache at /snap/bin/chromium because of the SNAP home directory requirement It is my opinion that IF Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (supported until April 2025) is built with SNAP Core20, building a single Chromium SNAP on Core22 going forward will continue to break Ubuntu 20.04 systems Please do not make assumptions that everyone is calling Chromium with an actual/normal user I can confirm that this "fixes" the issue for me: snap refresh --channel stable/core20 chromium Nathan Teodosio said: "...And that's why we discourage and cannot support unconfined runs." ... well, the fact that /snap/chromium/**current**/usr/lib/chromium- browser/chrome (current) is a symlink to whatever build # is the "current" suggests Chromium can/and-without-problems-should-be-able-to- be called from that path (as it has been, until someone decided to make the latest Chromium build against Core22) That, and the fact that there's no option to revert to a previous Chromium build, is why this is "broken" With respect, not "everyone and everything" is running on the "latest and greatest" -- 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/2026200 Title: Snap update broke launching and printing on 20.04 Ubuntu. Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Two deployed ubuntu images, 20.04 and 22.04. Both images are fully updated. Issue appears to only impact 20.04. chrome snap version 2529 Launching chrome from menu shortcut that is managed by the snap works and it using this location /snap/bin/chromium Launching chrome from desktop shortcut that I manage on 20.04 fails - /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome Updating the desktop shortcut with this location on 20.04 works - /snap/bin/chromium Try and print from the browser, print dialog in chrome does not list any system printers, only shows PDF. Doing the same on 22.04 image, I get a list of printers. CLI I run cups.lstat -v which works on 22.04, does not work on 20.04. 20.04 I get an error "cannot stat /var/lib/snapd/seccomp/bpf/snap.cups.lpstat.bin: No such file or directory" I've run these tests on multiple 20.04 and 22.04 machines and I'm getting 100% failure rate on 20.04. I get this error when running chrome from cli from this path on 20.04 /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser which points to 2529 snap image. /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome) /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome) /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome) /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome) /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by /snap/chromium/2529/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so) /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /snap/chromium/2529/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/2026200/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
