This happened to me in recent days. I did routine updates to ubuntu 22.04 and the next time I went to boot the system chromium was not working. the icon was still on the launcher bar, but it would just spin loading for 15 or so seconds and do nothing. I started "chromium- browser" from a terminal shell and saw the error described in this incident. "Content snap command-chain for /snap/chromium/2529/gnome- platform/command-chain/desktop-launch not found: ensure slot is connected"
I never did any add/remove of snap or anything that should have triggered this. 3 gigabytes of free storage, so disk full during upgrade didn't happen. Anyway, to fix it: I followed what was mentioned in this thread `sudo snap install gnome-42-2204` and all back to normal, including my chromium profile still having the previous content. I think I did the apt update / apt upgrade on June 30. Maybe there was a short period where routine updates triggered this problem? No idea. Thank you for reporting it, as I would never have known about the gnome-42-2204 snap without this bug report. -- 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/2025916 Title: command-chain ... not found Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: (I'm not familiar with snap, was migrated to it by *buntu for chromium-browser) Received the usual, well-know notification of having to snap refresh, some time given ...
