Title:
chromium on Jetson Orin fails to open file dialog
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in xdg-desktop-portal-gnome package in Ubuntu:
Unknown
Bug description:
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. It is implemented with label that uses htmlFor attribute and a button and input tag inside the label, where htmlFor attribute refers to a input tag that accepts file names for .txt files. 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:
```

```
I have also seen following messages in syslog (from earlier attempt):
```

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 16:02:42 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.
