[Touch-packages] [Bug 2026200] Re: Snap update broke launching and printing on 20.04 Ubuntu.
@Nathan Thank you for the clarity on the Core20 vs Core22, however, I will still maintain that had this latest Chromium SNAP been built on Core20, as has seemingly been until now, we wouldn't be having this dialog. When Chromium has been built against Core20, I've been able to call chromium headless from Apache via: /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome ... and it hasn't mattered which "build" the ../current/... pointed to. For me, Chromium built on Core22 is what "broke" my setup. Again, I appreciate the stable/core20 build, and will have to commit to within 30 days: a) Upgrade our production environments to Ubuntu 22.04 b) Stop using Ubuntu altogether, and go with straight-Debian, so "apt install chromium-browser" actually installs the Debian package, not force install a SNAP (comment for future readers, not trying to argue that APT pushes the SNAP installs for Chromium on Ubuntu) c) find an alternative way to generate PDF from HTML reports -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2026200 Title: Snap update broke launching and printing on 20.04 Ubuntu.

-- Nathan The symlink I'm referring to is the *current* in this path: /snap/chromium/**current**/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome ... which is a symlink to build 2529 or, now I have 2497 (I still maintain that if Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is supported until April 2025, and its base SNAP is core20, it is not appropriate (if, only because of my biased opinion) to build snaps on core22, which, you admit, is the base snap core for Ubuntu 22.04) Do you have any sense of "how long" the stable/core20 channel will be available? I am grateful for the stable/core20 build as of now, but need to plan to either migrate to Ubuntu 22.04 (or later) or off Ubuntu altogether -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2026200 Title: Snap update broke launching and printing on 20.04 Ubuntu.

Nathan Teodosio: >> "That invocation is not supported, so one could argue that it breaks unsupported setups." My apologies, but that comes off as a rather convenient way of saying, "Well, you shouldn't have been doing it that way in the first place, and be happy it's worked for you this long." To be clear, you're saying invoking chromium via a fully qualified, real-path, with a SNAP-created symbolic link to a actual build directory, is a "unsupported setup" ? If I could just install Chromium directly via apt, and not be forced into a SNAP ...

[Touch-packages] [Bug 2026200] Re: Snap update broke launching and printing on 20.04 Ubuntu.
I've been using headless chromium on the cli with the --print-to-pdf parameter to generate PDF documents on Ubuntu 20.04 for well over a year. Chromium has been invoked at: /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome ... by the Apache user, and, because APT forces the SNAP Chromium package, rather than the standard Debian package, and because the Apache user's (www-data) home directory is /var/www and not /home/www-data, one cannot invoke Chromium via Apache at /snap/bin/chromium because of the SNAP home directory requirement It is my opinion that IF Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (supported until April 2025) is built with SNAP Core20, building a single Chromium SNAP on Core22 going forward will continue to break Ubuntu 20.04 systems Please do not make assumptions that everyone is calling Chromium with an actual/normal user I can confirm that this "fixes" the issue for me: snap refresh --channel stable/core20 chromium Nathan Teodosio said: "...And that's why we discourage and cannot support unconfined runs." ... well, the fact that /snap/chromium/**current**/usr/lib/chromium- browser/chrome (current) is a symlink to whatever build # is the "current" suggests Chromium can/and-without-problems-should-be-able-to- be called from that path (as it has been, until someone decided to make the latest Chromium build against Core22) That, and the fact that there's no option to revert to a previous Chromium build, is why this is "broken" With respect, not "everyone and everything" is running on the "latest and greatest" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2026200 Title: Snap update broke launching and printing on 20.04 Ubuntu.
