Public bug reported:
I have a Nitrokey FIDO2, which works fine with the Firefox deb package.
However, it does not work at all with the Chromium snap. I have
libu2f-udev installed.
This problem can be fixed by adding the following line to
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-snap.chromium.rules:
# u2f-devices
# Nitrokey FIDO2
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="20a0",
ATTRS{idProduct}=="42b1", TAG+="snap_chromium_chromium"
TAG=="snap_chromium_chromium", RUN+="/usr/lib/snapd/snap-device-helper
$env{ACTION} snap_chromium_chromium $devpath $major:$minor"
and then running sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm
trigger.
After that, it works perfectly well.
The Yubico YubiKey is already present with a very similar line, so this
is merely a case of a missing rule.
It would be very nice if support for the Nitrokey FIDO2 could be
upstreamed.
