Ubuntu 22.04: TVE: Chrome not launching

I'm getting the following error:

TVE: chrome failed to start:
/system.slice/channels-dvr.service is not a snap cgroup

You need to install or upgrade chrome on your Ubuntu

I tried this option through channels but it didn't change anything

Will channels use chromium from the system if I install it on Ubuntu?

Yes

I'm having this same problem encountered when setting up my SECOND TVE connection. The first connected and added channels without issue. This suggest that chromium-browser has been setup.

Try to uninstall the snap version of chrome/chromium on Ubuntu, that was the cause for me.

Install the regular version of chrome from a PPA: How To Install Google Chrome on Ubuntu 20.04 – TecAdmin

Thanks for the advise Y24; I'll give that a go.

To the development team - should the documentation be updated to account for challenges snap has presented to TVE? Or is this not a common issue and should I be doing something different to ensure a stable deployment?

As of yet Snap chromium has not been an issue for me. I don’t think and change in documentation is necessary quite yet.

Perhaps uninstalling snap is simply a placebo then. Maybe there's something else causing this issue.

I'll continue to monitor and report back if have any more anecdotes to contribute.
