On morning of Feb 14 (my local time; AEST) I awoke my suspended box, applied all updates, closed chromium & programs and rebooted.
On reboot, once system was going (and 'settled') I loaded my usual programs and later chromium, to discover no keyboard input was allowed into chromium. I fought with this for some time before putting up a help request on irc https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2020/02/15/%23ubuntu+1.txt [05:33] <guiverc> my `chromium-browser` isn't accepting any text input into page/url/window... i've logged out, restarted but no difference. `snap refresh --beta chromium` to try a different version; no change. any clues appreciated I had worked out if I had active a 'text entry' box, I couldn't use ^N to open a new page, however if a text entry box wasn't on page & my cursor wasn't in the url line ^N would respond (to open new page). Except for keyboard, chromium responded normally to mouse input. In time Oerheks answered my plea for help on irc, `rm` cache directory didn't do anything for me (~/snap/chromium/common/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache) I started erasing my config directory [11:58] <guiverc> oerheks, success !!! (my continual re-load of chromium must have re-introduced issue whatever it was (into cache possibly), I redid some of prior commands (rm cache) & now it's working)... Thanks HEAPS !! So in the end it was removing cache that fixed it maybe, though I'd also removed a good deal of my config too before I noticed the beneficial effect.. I had tested another already running snap; telegram-desktop, and that accepted keyboard input during the time chromium wasn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863412 Title: [snap] after accepting daily updates Chromium doesn't accept keyboard input To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1863412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
