Bug ID: 505979
Summary: Snap Permissions (e.g., Audio Recording) not saving
via KDE System Settings for certain applications
(e.g., Thunderbird, WhatsApp Desktop)
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First master
Reported In:
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: "Manage Desktop and Panels" window
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ralfprzybi...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Open KDE System Settings.
2. Navigate to "Applications" -> "Manage Snap Applications".
3. Select "WhatsApp Desktop" (or "Thunderbird") from the list.
4. Navigate to its "Permissions" section.
5. Check the box next to "audio-record" (or any other relevant permission,
e.g., "camera", "alsa").
6. Close the permissions window (e.g., by clicking the 'X' button or
navigating away).
7. Re-open the permissions for the same Snap application.
**Expected Result:**
The checkbox for "audio-record" (or the previously selected permission) should
remain checked.
**Actual Result:**
The checkbox for "audio-record" (or the previously selected permission) is
found to be unchecked.
**Workaround:**
The permissions can be successfully connected and made persistent using the
command line:
For WhatsApp Desktop:
`sudo snap connect whatsapp-linux-desktop:audio-record`
For Thunderbird:
`sudo snap connect thunderbird:audio-record` (or replace `audio-record` with
the relevant permission you're trying to set for Thunderbird)
After setting the permission via the command line and restarting the
application, the microphone (or other functionality) works correctly within the
Snap.
