[Bug 1863412] Re: [snap] after accepting daily updates Chromium doesn't accept keyboard input
On morning of Feb 14 (my local time; AEST) I awoke my suspended box, applied all updates, closed chromium & programs and rebooted. On reboot, once system was going (and 'settled') I loaded my usual programs and later chromium, to discover no keyboard input was allowed into chromium. I fought with this for some time before putting up a help request on irc https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2020/02/15/%23ubuntu+1.txt [05:33] my `chromium-browser` isn't accepting any text input into page/url/window... i've logged out, restarted but no difference. `snap refresh --beta chromium` to try a different version; no change. any clues appreciated I had worked out if I had active a 'text entry' box, I couldn't use ^N to open a new page, however if a text entry box wasn't on page & my cursor wasn't in the url line ^N would respond (to open new page). Except for keyboard, chromium responded normally to mouse input. In time Oerheks answered my plea for help on irc, `rm` cache directory didn't do anything for me (~/snap/chromium/common/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache) I started erasing my config directory [11:58] oerheks, success !!! (my continual re-load of chromium must have re-introduced issue whatever it was (into cache possibly), I redid some of prior commands (rm cache) & now it's working)... Thanks HEAPS !! So in the end it was removing cache that fixed it maybe, though I'd also removed a good deal of my config too before I noticed the beneficial effect.. I had tested another already running snap; telegram-desktop, and that accepted keyboard input during the time chromium wasn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863412 Title: [snap] after accepting daily updates Chromium doesn't accept keyboard input To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1863412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The work around indeed worked for me but when I tried to recover my Bookmarks from an archive file after pressing "Choose a file" chromium terminated. Think this message in syslog is associated with the error: Feb 15 13:17:54 cliffps chromium_chromium.desktop[6306]: Gtk:ERROR:../../../../gtk/gtkiconhelper.c:494:ensure_surface_for_gicon: assertion failed (error == NULL): Failed to load /snap/chromium/1026 /data-dir/icons/Adwaita/16x16/status/image-missing.png: Unrecognized image file format (gdk-pixbuf-error-quark, 3) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863412 Title: [snap] after accepting daily updates Chromium doesn't accept keyboard input To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1863412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1863412] Re: [snap] after accepting daily updates Chromium doesn't accept keyboard input
Work around found: Remove ~/snap/chromium/common/.cache after closing
browser. Chromium works as it should when restarted. I'll leave this bug
report in place as the problem shouldn't have happened and needs
investigation.
** Description changed:
I booted my laptop this morning and was offered a large number of
updates. I installed them all and started Chromium only to find that I
was unable to type any character into the address bar. When using the
mouse to select a bookmark to load a web page I found that keyboard
input was also ignored.
I was running Chromium when last using this Ubuntu installation and made
no changes before closing down. The only changes since that last session
were made by the updates that I installed so I have attached an extract
of apt's history.log.
Google Chrome and Firefox work perfectly. Xubuntu doesn't seem to be
affected by recent updates.
