Public bug reported: The snap version of chromium cannot access the /dev/hidraw* devices.
My use case is to use an app like https://usevia.app/ or https://vial.rocks/ to configure my keyboard. Despite the filesystem permission chromium cannot open (in write mode) the hidraw devices: ``` $ snap run --shell chromium To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". See "man sudo_root" for details. dvd@tardis:/home/dvd$ ls -l /dev/hidraw* crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 0 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw0 crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 1 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw1 crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root plugdev 241, 10 Sep 27 13:59 /dev/hidraw10 crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 11 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw11 crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 2 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw2 crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 3 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw3 crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 4 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw4 crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 5 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw5 crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 6 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw6 crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 7 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw7 crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 8 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw8 crw-rw----+ 1 root plugdev 241, 9 Sep 27 13:52 /dev/hidraw9 dvd@tardis:/home/dvd$ touch /dev/hidraw10 touch: setting times of '/dev/hidraw10': Operation not permitted dvd@tardis:/home/dvd$ ``` Maybe the fix is as simple as adding an hidraw plug? see https://snapcraft.io/docs/hidraw-interface? snap info chromium ``` name: chromium summary: Chromium web browser, open-source version of Chrome publisher: Canonical✓ store-url: https://snapcraft.io/chromium contact: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bugs?field.tag=snap license: unset description: | An open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all Internet users to experience the web. commands: - chromium.chromedriver - chromium snap-id: XKEcBqPM06H1Z7zGOdG5fbICuf8NWK5R tracking: latest/stable refresh-date: 4 days ago, at 13:43 CEST channels: latest/stable: 129.0.6668.58 2024-09-26 (2955) 181MB - latest/candidate: 129.0.6668.58 2024-09-26 (2955) 181MB - latest/beta: 130.0.6723.19 2024-09-26 (2958) 182MB - latest/edge: 131.0.6724.0 2024-09-25 (2954) 183MB - installed: 129.0.6668.58 (2953) 177MB - ``` snap connections chroimium ``` Interface Plug Slot Notes audio-playback chromium:audio-playback :audio-playback - audio-record chromium:audio-record :audio-record - bluez chromium:bluez :bluez - browser-support chromium:browser-sandbox :browser-support - camera chromium:camera :camera - content chromium:foo-install-cups - - content[gnome-42-2204] chromium:gnome-42-2204 gnome-42-2204:gnome-42-2204 - content[gtk-3-themes] chromium:gtk-3-themes gtk-common-themes:gtk-3-themes - content[icon-themes] chromium:icon-themes gtk-common-themes:icon-themes - content[sound-themes] chromium:sound-themes gtk-common-themes:sound-themes - cups chromium:cups cups:cups - desktop chromium:desktop :desktop - desktop-legacy chromium:desktop-legacy :desktop-legacy - gsettings chromium:gsettings :gsettings - hardware-observe chromium:hardware-observe :hardware-observe - home chromium:home :home - joystick chromium:joystick :joystick - mount-observe chromium:mount-observe - - mpris - chromium:mpris - network chromium:network :network - network-bind chromium:network-bind :network-bind - network-manager chromium:network-manager - - opengl chromium:opengl :opengl - password-manager-service chromium:password-manager-service - - pcscd chromium:pcscd - - personal-files chromium:chromium-config :personal-files - personal-files chromium:dot-local-share-applications :personal-files - personal-files chromium:dot-local-share-icons :personal-files - raw-usb chromium:raw-usb - - removable-media chromium:removable-media :removable-media - screen-inhibit-control chromium:screen-inhibit-control :screen-inhibit-control - system-files chromium:etc-chromium-browser-policies :system-files - system-packages-doc chromium:system-packages-doc :system-packages-doc - u2f-devices chromium:u2f-devices :u2f-devices - unity7 chromium:unity7 :unity7 - upower-observe chromium:upower-observe :upower-observe - wayland chromium:wayland :wayland - x11 chromium:x11 :x11 - ``` ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2083031 Title: cannot access hidraw devices To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/2083031/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
