SIGTRAP Ubuntu

Asked by Timofey Kargin

Sometimes (once in a few weeks) Chromium doesn't open pages and shows error "Oh, snap SIGTRAP".
If it happens, I can't use it for about 30 minutes. Incognito mode doesn't help, same as cache cleaning.

My system:
OS: Ubuntu 20.04 focal
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 5.4.0-65-generic
DE: KDE 5.68.0 / Plasma 5.18.5

Browser info:
me@mypc:~$ apt-cache policy chromium-browser
chromium-browser:
  Installed: 1:85.0.4183.83-0ubuntu0.20.04.2
  Candidate: 1:85.0.4183.83-0ubuntu0.20.04.2
  Version table:
 *** 1:85.0.4183.83-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     80.0.3987.163-0ubuntu1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages

I am not sure how to find logs. But.
me@mypc:~$/home/me/snap/chromium/common/chromium/chrome_debug.log | grep " sig"
In this output I didn't find anything suspicious

And now I can't repeat error, so I can't use gdb to have a log.

Any ideas? I found a lot of same questions on the internet including StackOverflow, but didn't succed.

If you are using the snap version, then the output of apt commands does not tell anything useful.

The more relevant command in that case is
snap info chromium-browser

As far as I remember, I used "sudo apt install chromium-browser" to install it.

And snap response like this:
me@mypc:~$ snap info chromium-browser
error: no snap found for "chromium-browser"

I could delete chromium and install it with snap. Should I?
But I am not sure if it will help. If I remember it correctly, installation with apt calls for snap on some stage of installation.

Sorry, my fault.

The (obsolete) Ubuntu .deb package was named chromium-browser, but the snap package is named chromium.

snap info chromium
