Public bug reported: After the forced upgrade to the snap version of Chromium, all of my Chrome app shortcuts stopped working.
I have several apps which I launch like this: chromium-browser --user-data-dir=/home/hackel/.config/appname --profile-directory=Default --app-id=abcdjdachboclehgmhnocadmlnkmehhi They are now all broken. So I can move my user-data-dir into ~/snap/chromium/current/.config and that works fine, but what do I do about the custom icons? These were created in e.g. ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/*/apps/chrome-abcdjdachboclehgmhnocadmlnkmehhi-Default.png for all 5 different icon sizes. But the corresponding snap icon directories are all broken symlinks to /snap/chromium/881/data-dir/icons/hicolor/64x64. (There actual directory structure ends with an empty icons directory.) A snap running as a user wouldn't be able to write to those directories anyway, right? Or does snapd have some mechanism to allow that? If I try to use the Create Shortcut function in Chromium, I get this error 14 times: LaunchProcess: failed to execvp: xdg-desktop-menu It doesn't actually create any .desktop or icons that I can find anywhere on the filesystem. Is there time to restore the old deb package? This snap is just *not* ready for prime time! ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848126 Title: [snap] No access to user config directory for separate app IDs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1848126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
