Public bug reported: For chromium 138.0.7204.157 Rev 3205 latest/stable snap running on Jetson Orin (arm64) with 5.15.136-tegra kernel from Nvidia.
with snapd 2.70, it seems I must downgrade snapd to 2.68.5 (Rev 24724), otherwise browser doesn't start. I found recent discussion on NVidia forum: https://jetsonhacks.com/2025/07/12/why-chromium-suddenly-broke-on- jetson-orin-and-how-to-bring-it-back/ This seems to indicate snapd has issues if kernel doesn't enable CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XATTR=y and apparmor, which the NVidia provided kernel doesn't have. If I do use 2.68.5, I see additional problem that file open dialog doesn't open in React applications. This is the primary problem here. This was earlier working, so I'm surprised it broke. When I try to use it, I see following logging in syslog, which seems to indicate reason for the failure: ``` Jul 24 10:39:34 ubuntu xdg-desktop-por[19354]: Backend call failed: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying Jul 24 10:39:34 ubuntu chromium_chromium.desktop[39413]: [39413:39413:0724/103934.435160:ERROR:components/dbus/xdg/request.cc:169] Request ended (non-user cancelled). Jul 24 10:39:34 ubuntu systemd[19053]: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV Jul 24 10:39:34 ubuntu systemd[19053]: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.service: Failed with result 'signal'. Jul 24 10:39:34 ubuntu systemd[19053]: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome.service: Consumed 1.239s CPU time. ``` I have also seen following messages in syslog (from earlier attempt): ``` Jul 22 16:02:40 ubuntu systemd[651658]: Starting Portal service (GNOME implementation)... Jul 22 16:02:41 ubuntu xdg-desktop-portal-gnome[710339]: libEGL warning: DRI3: Screen seems not DRI3 capable Jul 22 16:02:41 ubuntu xdg-desktop-portal-gnome[710339]: libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate Jul 22 16:02:41 ubuntu dbus-daemon[651675]: [session uid=1000 pid=651675] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.impl.portal.desktop.gnome' Jul 22 16:02:41 ubuntu systemd[651658]: Started Portal service (GNOME implementation). Jul 22 16:02:42 ubuntu xdg-desktop-por[651957]: Backend call failed: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying ``` So it looks chromium is triggering request to xdg-desktop-portal- gnome.service, which crashes, and this is somehow related to DRI3 or DRI2 authentication. OTOH, xdpyinfo says the X server supports DRI2 and DRI3. This does not look like a web application problem because when I connect to same application from a Windows machine's chromium browser, the functionality works. ``` $ uname -a ; type -a chromium Linux ubuntu 5.15.136-tegra #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 6 09:56:39 PDT 2024 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux chromium is /usr/bin/chromium chromium is /bin/chromium chromium is /snap/bin/chromium chromium is /snap/bin/chromium $ snap changes ID Status Spawn Ready Summary 248 Done yesterday at 15:37 EEST yesterday at 15:38 EEST Install "snapd" snap from file "snapd_24724.snap" 249 Done yesterday at 15:38 EEST yesterday at 15:38 EEST Hold general refreshes for "snapd" 250 Done today at 03:01 EEST today at 03:01 EEST Auto-refresh snap "firefox" $ snap connections chromium 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[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 chromium:install-cups-runtime-dependency - - 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 - hidraw chromium:hidraw - - 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 - pulseaudio chromium:pulseaudio - - raw-usb chromium:raw-usb - - removable-media chromium:removable-media :removable-media - screen-inhibit-control chromium:screen-inhibit-control :screen-inhibit-control - serial-port chromium:serial-port - - 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/2118383 Title: chromium on Jetson Orin fails to open file dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/2118383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
