On a linux noble install, firefox is obtained via snap : ________________________________________ # snap list Name Version Rev Tracking Publisher Notes bare 1.0 5 latest/stable canonical✓ base core22 20250612 2045 latest/stable canonical✓ base firefox 140.0.4-1 6495 latest/stable mozilla✓ - gnome-42-2204 0+git.38ea591 202 latest/stable canonical✓ - gtk-common-themes 0.1-81-g442e511 1535 latest/stable canonical✓ - snapd 2.70 24792 latest/stable canonical✓ snapd thunderbird 128.12.0esr-1 751 latest/stable canonical✓ - _________________________________________ the system use sssd/ldap to authenticate the user, and to obtain his id : ________________________________________ cuser@linux:~$ id uid=8261(cuser) gid=1053(mainldapgroup) groups=1053(mainldapgroup),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),118(lpadmin),1117(ldapgroup1),1185(ldapgroup2),1215(ldapgroup3) ________________________________________ but firefox seems unable to obtain this informations through snap : ________________________________________ snap run --shell firefox groups: cannot find name for group ID 1053 groups: cannot find name for group ID 1117 groups: cannot find name for group ID 1185 groups: cannot find name for group ID 1215 To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". See "man sudo_root" for details. I have no name! ________________________________________ as a consequence, print job through firefox are sent as "unknown user" to cups, on our centralized printing system, this makes the print job to fail... A workaround for the bug appears here : https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/print-job-username-set-to-unknown/34986/9 but it involved using NSCD, which is incompatible with SSSD : https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/system- level_authentication_guide/usingnscd-sssd ** Affects: firefox (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/2117031 Title: snap firefox : user unknown with sssd / ldap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/2117031/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
