[dino99]

Using Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan with snapd (2.39.2+19.10ubuntu1) and chromium 75

• chromium always load slowly
• after some system upgrades (gcc/python/gvfs ?) chromium load silently die
• then the saved passwords are all lost

Initially reported on https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2422675, where uptodate comments are sent.

your last point is discussed in

Auto-connecting the cups-control and password-manager-service interfaces for the chromium snap

I’m wondering whether the decision of not auto-connecting the password-manager-service interface should be revisited? I understand the security implications and they are of course valid, but on the other hand for users that are being upgraded from the deb package to the snap, not having the interface auto-connected means that they suddenly see all their stored passwords vanish (they are still stored in the session keyring, but chromium cannot access them). An alternative solution would be to n…

Thanks for starting this new thread @dino99. As points #1 and #3 are already discussed elsewhere, let’s use this thread to discuss point #2 specifically. Would you mind pasting the logs from your original ubuntuforums.org thread here? Thanks!

could you please edit your post and put any pasted code/logs between three backticks so it gets actually readable ?

also, what is the exact output of snap version and do you use any proprietary driver for your graphics card (i.e. nvidia)
