I'm not sorry. The change to Mint packages was the best thing I did to my desktop in a long time. This has saved me from so much frustration already. A recipe that works: https://www.osso.nl/blog/chromium-browser-without- ubuntu-snap-linux-mint/ Respectfully, Walter -- You received this bug no

I have purged all of snap from my machines, so I cannot reproduce. But I'm 100% positive Firefox suffers from exactly the same issues. The snap team decided that apparmoring applications was the way forward, even though this causes inexplicable breakage for some people who are just trying to get w

Okay. So to unbreak the confinement in the mean time, one can do this: (1) Find an include that is not owned by snap (because an update will likely break things again): # sed -e '/#include/!d;s/.*#include //' \ /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.chromium.chromium | sort -u

"Arguably" Yes, I will argue with you there. - How about tcpdump writing as the tcpdump user+group in my homedir? I can read them, delete them, but not send them to someone using the browser? - Me getting files as root, because I need special powers (for vpn, network, usb, ...)? mv(1)/cp(1) will
