I have exactly the same problem that Mario (mario-gleirscher) reported on 2022-11-17. My Java IDE is Apache Netbeans, and if, for example, I want to look at the documentation for the Pattern class, it tries, and fails, to load the file "file:///usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk- amd64/docs/api/java.base/java/util/regex/Pattern.html".
I understand that this is a design feature of Snap. However, it is also causing a serious regression in multiple pieces of widely used software. It's just NOT OK to break so much stuff, and to inconvenience so many people, over a packaging change. Please fix this. There is no security issue in providing read-only access to documentation files. [Edit: I see that firefox has a "firefox:system-packages-doc" connection, which allows access to /usr/share/doc. That's a step in the right direction, unfortunately that's incompatible with the way that Ubuntu manages Java releases.] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL - BR, which is subscribed to Chromium Browser. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1972762 Title: Firefox and Chromium snaps preventing apps and devices from working correctly.
