Public bug reported: Just did a clean install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. After updating packages and installing chromium snap 81.0.4044.138
I signed in to my main account (I'll call it profile 1) Profile Path: /home/photon/snap/chromium/1143/.config/chromium/Default I tried to place a website shortcut in the desktop to my launch my website directly But whenever I tried to open the shortcut https://i.stack.imgur.com/dFxlD.png, it opened a different (generic) user window with the default new tab, not my signed in user nor my website (I'll call this profile 2). Profile Path: /home/photon/.config/chromium/Default Whatever shortcuts I created in profile 1 it just open a window on profile 2, a new window like clicking Ctrl + N I decided to sign in to profile 2 using a different account to test and place a shortcut https://i.stack.imgur.com/2FczV.png, this time the shortcut opened properly windowed instance of the website I wanted, it also displayed the website icon properly on the desktop and the app launcher, no workarounds needed Now, this worked only for the shortcuts created through profile 2 and opens automatically in profile 2 , which path is: Profile Path: /home/photon/.config/chromium/Default Also, the chromium icon in the app launcher, opens profile 1 Profile Path: /home/photon/snap/chromium/1143/.config/chromium/Default Note 1: shortcut created through profile 1: #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Terminal=false Type=Application Name=Dashboard — WordPress Exec=/snap/chromium/1143/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome --profile-directory=Default --app-id=hdaffjkmdkmlhclgajaoglfdfdnekfma Icon=chrome-hdaffjkmdkmlhclgajaoglfdfdnekfma-Default StartupWMClass=crx_hdaffjkmdkmlhclgajaoglfdfdnekfma Shortcut created through profile 2: #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Terminal=false Type=Application Name=الرئيسية — ووردبريس Exec=/snap/chromium/1143/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome --profile-directory=Default --app-id=hkpaiaaolchnaojdcmflgldhaopicfpa Icon=chrome-hkpaiaaolchnaojdcmflgldhaopicfpa-Default StartupWMClass=crx_hkpaiaaolchnaojdcmflgldhaopicfpa ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Multiple users behavior inconsistent in Chromium snap on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS + Multiple user profiles behavior inconsistent in Chromium snap on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1877463 Title: Multiple user profiles behavior inconsistent in Chromium snap on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1877463/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
