[Bug 1851250] Re: [snap] chromium-browser snap cannot upload files outside ~

 

Thanks for testing, and for the feedback Alberto.
Let's say it's okay to assume that the portal is already running and accessible through the bus (i.e. the ListActivatableNames path won't be taken − there's an upstream bug to track this: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1278336).

Then indeed the problem remains for xenial, bionic and focal where the
XDG desktop portal isn't new enough. But it's unlikely that a new major
version of the portal can be backported to these release with a regular
SRU, so it looks like a "Won't Fix" status to me, what do you think?

** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 19.04 to 19.10, my Chromium package was converted
  to a snap. After figuring out how to manually reconnect the password
  manager, and figuring out how to apply CHROMIUM_FLAGS that used to
  live in /etc/chromium-browser/default, and noticing that GMail is no
  longer able to play a sound when a call comes in, now I see that I am
  unable to upload files from anywhere except my home directory!
  Connecting chromium:removable-media as in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-
  browser/+bug/1832711 does not help with anything else. Is there some
  way to let the file upload dialog work on any file my user account has
  access to? Or run this snap in --classic mode? If not, this seems like
  a critical limitation, as I need this multiple times a day. Switching
  to Chrome or Firefox cannot be the only workaround for this, surely?
