This is a followup to Launchpad Bug#1959845, with more information about the bug. I am running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on x86-64 with current patches. I have snapd 2.55.5+22.04. When I run the shell command "chromium --version" and attempt to debug the resulting situation a bit, I see the following: $ chromium --version /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.utf8) /bin/bash: /home/eggert/.bashrc: Permission denied Chromium 103.0.5060.114 snap $ echo $SHELL /bin/bash $ ls -l $HOME/.bashrc -r--r--r-- 1 eggert eggert 420 Apr 25 2002 /home/eggert/.bashrc $ env | grep en_US LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 $ locale LANG=C LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8" LC_TIME="en_US.utf8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 $ locale -a | grep en_US en_US.iso885915 en_US.utf8 $ LC_ALL=C chromium --version /bin/bash: /home/eggert/.bashrc: Permission denied Chromium 103.0.5060.114 snap As you can see, I get some bogus diagnostics about the locale and the .bashrc permissions. My locale is fine - though evidently snap packages can't use it. I do have a .bashrc file. This file is not executable and it shouldn't be executable as it's not intended to be a standalone command. It has worked just fine for decades, when I log in via Bash or run Bash in the usual way. I reported a similar problem with Firefox in Launchpad Bug#1959845, and the response was "this is a bug with the snap packaging of Firefox, not with snapd. Please file a bug with Mozilla upstream". Although I did so here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1753320 their response was that it wasn't a Firefox bug. And now that I see a similar problem with Chromium it appears that this is a snapd issue, not an issue with individual programs.
