Title:
[snap /from-source] broken launcher
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Ran `snap install chromium --channel=candidate/from-source` as
suggested in https://community.ubuntu.com/t/intent-to-provide-
chromium-as-a-snap-only/5987 and I think it broke my launcher (from
searching for Chromium in Activities).
Clicking on it produces the notification:
Failed to launch "Chromium Web Browser"
Desktop file didn't specify exec field
Also the launcher has no icon (only the plain executable one)
```
