Public bug reported:
it is copied from :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snap/+bug/1893020
-------------------------
the problem is "/snap/chromium/current/bin/chromium.launcher" script,
to be precise these 2 lines below:
exec "$SNAP/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome" --no-default-browser-check
--no-first-run --password-store=$PASSWORD_STORE $FLASH_OPTIONS $CHROMIUM_FLAGS
"$@" "$FIRSTRUN_PAGE"
and
"$SNAP/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome" --user-data-dir=$TEMP_PROFILE
--no-default-browser-check --no-first-run --password-
store=$PASSWORD_STORE $FLASH_OPTIONS $CHROMIUM_FLAGS "$@"
"$FIRSTRUN_PAGE"
when --headless options is used "$FIRSTRUN_PAGE" parameter shall never
be passed here as user specify his own page here and because of that
chromium gives:
"[0826/093125.490825:ERROR:headless_shell.cc(174)] Open multiple tabs is
only supported when remote debugging is enabled."
ive patched this script in my snap directory (which is tricky) like this:
copied whole folder "/snap/chromium/1284/bin" to other dir on the disk,
patched script,
then did "sudo mount --bind -o nodev,ro /media/data/chromsc
/snap/chromium/1284/bin"
and voila this works
so the solution would be to check if user is passing --headless
parameter and if he passes his own site - if so then dont pass
"$FIRSTRUN_PAGE" parameter
---------------------------------------
additional info regarding solution:
one doesnt need to check if user adds own site because --headless mode
can start without website provided, so its enough just to check if user
provided --headless parameter.
ive added a patch - which is tested - works perfectly fine.
