Title:
cannot access hidraw devices
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The snap version of chromium cannot access the /dev/hidraw* devices.
My use case is to use an app like https://usevia.app/ or
https://vial.rocks/ to configure my keyboard.
Despite the filesystem permission chromium cannot open (in write mode)
the hidraw devices:
```
$ snap run --shell chromium
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.
dvd@tardis:/home/dvd$ ls -l /dev/hidraw*
crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 0 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw0
crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 1 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw1
crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root plugdev 241, 10 Sep 27 13:59 /dev/hidraw10

crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 7 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw7
crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 8 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw8
crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 9 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw9
dvd@tardis:/home/dvd$ touch /dev/hidraw10
touch: setting times of '/dev/hidraw10': Operation not permitted
dvd@tardis:/home/dvd$
```
Maybe the fix is as simple as adding an hidraw plug? see
