2) as far as I know, no apparmor specific denials.
The non-standard home directory is added to the apparmor ${HOMEDIRS} paramater
(see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/2061981/comments/3)
The only error message I get is:
user_name@computer:~$ chromium
cannot update snap namespace: cannot expand mount entry (none
$HOME/.local/share none x-snapd.kind=ensure-dir,x-snapd.must-exist-dir=$HOME 0

Title:
chromium fails to start with non-standard home directory
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in snapd package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
CURRENT WORKAROUND
------------------
snap disconnect chromium:dot-local-share-applications
snap disconnect chromium:dot-local-share-icons
Those are just "quality of life" interfaces (c.f. LP:1732482) that
most users probably do not even use, disconnecting them will cause no
breakage. (Of course, a proper diagnosis and fix is due.)
ORIGINAL REPORT
---------------
cannot update snap namespace: cannot expand mount entry (none
$HOME/.local/share none x-snapd.kind=ensure-dir,x-snapd.must-exist-
dir=$HOME 0 0): cannot use invalid home directory
"/home/department/user_name": permission denied
Fails to start on Ubuntu 22.04 for users with 'non-standard' home directory
/home/department/user_name
Used to work fine up to last week.
