I can reliably observe the problem on a system without a desktop environment, and I can confirm that installing ubuntu-desktop-minimal and then reinstalling the snap makes the problem go away.
This is a regression that appeared when switching to using the gnome-3-28 extension. After removing again ubuntu-desktop-minimal and all its dependencies, and reinstalling the snap, the snap still works, so the root of the problem is not really a missing dependency, but more likely user files/folders created when installing those packages or when installing the snap (configure hook maybe). ** Summary changed: - [snap] chromium headless crashes in revision 1424 + [snap] chromium headless crashes at startup on non-desktop system ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1908284 Title: [snap] chromium headless crashes at startup on non-desktop system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1908284/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
