[Bug 1886414] Re: chromium wont install
Have a feeling this will crop up a lot. I too am in NZ and was doing a routine apt upgrade of chromium-browser on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. First time, it decided to install the chromium snap and appeared stuck at 14%. (There was a bug, reporting identical symptoms, back in May. It's been expired because it's more than 60 days old but I'd bet that people will still be having the same problem.) Next attempt - after much fixing-up having bombed out of what appeared to be a hung install - is showing exactly what the OP here describes: it's chosen first to install the chromium snap, with the progress bar appearing stuck at 20% for ages. I'm prepared to wait ... and wait, as it appears from comments above that eventually this will complete and normal apt upgrades will be restored. Doesn't change my opinion: regardless of whether this works in the end, it's badly broken. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886414 Title: chromium wont install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1886414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm glad this worked, and thanks for the feedback. I know that the snap store uses a CDN to serve snaps, it could be that NZ isn't favoured with the current setup. This is just a blind guess, I suggest you ask about it on https://forum.snapcraft.io/. ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Opinion ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: Opinion => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886414 Title: chromium wont install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1886414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1886414] Re: chromium wont install
ok thanks that worked a treat. Running snap directly there was a progress indicator so i could see that snap downloads are very very very slow. 200kb/s. I'm on a a basic residential 100Mbits fibre line, so apt downloading deps from the ubuntu mirror is usually quick, 10MB/s. So the snap download is 50x slower than what i am used to. So download 50x slower than usual, and no progress indicator, made me think it was hung when i probably should have just waited half an hour. Normal download speed from apt upgrade straight after the snap install: The following packages will be upgraded: libnss3 snapd 2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

[Bug 1886414] Re: chromium wont install
Can you try installing the snap using the "snap install chromium" command? Please let us know how this goes, and if it succeeds you should be able to safely install the deb wrapper ("apt install chromium-browser"). ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886414 Title: chromium wont install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1886414/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
