I could reproduce this issue in Ubuntu impish by simply adding: export XDG_CACHE_HOME=/tmp/mycache
to ~/.profile and relogin. Then, as James Henstridge suggested, I tried starting it like this: IBUS_USE_PORTAL=1 chromium Unfortunately that did not help. I made one observation, though, which might be useful as a workaround: If I set the XDG_CACHE_HOME variable to "/tmp" (instead of "/tmp/mycache"), typing within the Chromium snap, including inputting with an IBus engine, worked as expected. Possibly the explanation is that /tmp is used as a fallback, sort of, to deal with BSD systems. https://github.com/ibus/ibus/blob/master/bus/server.c -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890905 Title: Snaps cannot access IBus when $XDG_CACHE_HOME is set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1890905/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
