Not working on the newest Snap version of Chromium

guest73 commented 4 years ago

Recently Chromium team enforced Snap installation of Chromium browser. I reinstalled my Chromium on Linux and the extension stopped working no matter I did all the regular steps of installation. Can It be fixed somehow?

I, also, have this exact same problem. Installing chromium-browser on ubuntu 20.04 LTS actually installs the chromium snap package :

Debian, however didn't switch to the snap package.

@guest73 I found a little workaround. Create a chromium_snap_start.sh script and type this :

#!/usr/bin/env sh
SNAP=/snap/chromium/current
SNAP=$SNAP bash $SNAP/bin/chromium.launcher &

And then start the chromium snap via that script :

$ chmod u+x chromium_snap_start.sh
$ ./chromium_snap_start.sh

and there the openwith extension works somehow.

@guest73 I just noticed in chrome://version that the profile path is $HOME/.config/chromium/Default instead of $HOME/snap/chromium/common/chromium/Default when chromium is started with bash $SNAP/bin/chromium.launcher &

@semba, thanks for your solution but it seems that this library does not know how to work with snap.

Has anybody found a solution?
