Sure. We use Browsershot (https://github.com/spatie/browsershot), which in turn uses Puppeteer (https://developers.google.com/web/tools/puppeteer/) to use chromium-browser in headless mode to generate PDF's from HTML. Without libx11-xcb1, chromium-browser never completes, which causes all processes to just hang indefinitely until the system is starved from resources.
Isn't removing dependencies in an LTS release a breaking change regardless? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1919146 Title: Dependency removed on chromium-browser Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, This morning we noticed that in the latest version of chromium-browser on 18.04 (89.0.4389.82-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) the dependency on libx11-xcb1 was removed. This caused our use-case with chromium-browser to break. For now we install libx11-xcb1 separately, but this seems like a breaking change. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS Release: 18.04 Thanks and best regards, Alexander Deruwe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1919146/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
