Hi Olivier, Thank you, haven't tried that. At this point I gave up on the chromium snap altogether, using instead Firefox and WebKit-based browsers other than chromium. Too many issues with snap packages in general make it not worth the trouble. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887396 Title: chromium-browser doesn't start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1887396/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Indeed, the code to import an existing profile isn't multi-profile aware, it will only import a profile in the default location. Contributions to improve this are welcome (the code is there: https://git.launchpad.net/~chromium-team/chromium-browser/+git/snap- from-source/tree/launcher/chromium.launcher?h=stable). Albert, it looks like you copied your profiles over to a versioned directory (/home/albert/snap/chromium/1213). The chromium snap was recently updated to not version the profile data, so it is now stored under ~/snap/chromium/common/. Can you move your profile directories over there, and see if that fixes your problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887396 Title: chromium-browser doesn't start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1887396/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As of July 2nd, again I can't start chromium after having rebooted Ubuntu without having quitted chromium first. This time, the error indicates a lack of removal of temporary symlinks named SingletonLock and related Singleton*.

[Bug 1887396] Re: chromium-browser doesn't start
I had the same issue but due to multiple profiles. I guess the process for the transition to snap would not be able to tell whether there are other profiles or not, so I am not reopening. The solution: copy all existing profiles, like so: cp -r ~/.google/someProfile1/ ~/snap/chromium/common/ cp -r ~/.google/someProfile2/ ~/snap/chromium/common/ Then you should be able to run them again: chromium-browser --user-data-dir=$HOME/snap/chromium/common/someProfile1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887396 Title: chromium-browser doesn't start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1887396/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1887396] Re: chromium-browser doesn't start
Thans for the report Albert.
The fact that chromium is now a strictly confined snap means that you cannot
use /home/albert/.config/google-chrome as your profile directory.
The profile directory has to be under
/home/albert/snap/chromium/{common,current}/.
The default value is $HOME/snap/chromium/common/chromium/.
Note that you can import an existing profile by copying it over to the
default profile directory, or wherever you want under a path that is
readable and writeable by the snap, and pointing chromium to it using
--user-data-dir as usual.
** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
