Chromium install fails - hangs waiting for snapd auto restart

I didn’t install Chromium as part of initial set up but tried with sudo apt install chromium-browser but it fails at 20% waiting for snapd auto restart that never happens… any advice please? Latest everything I think!

Suspect it is snap related, firefox snap also fails. You might have to install firefox-esr, that is not snap…

sudo apt update
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install firefox-esr

firefox-esr

Ok thanks will try that. So would it succeed if I’d installed during the setup process?

Ok perfect thank. I’ve always had a mistrust of snaps and prefer Firefox anyway!

Not sure, I have been doing it after the fact from a console.

@foxsquirrel1 Ok all good anyway now thank you with FF running happily. I must admit although my basis Ubuntu knowledge is good and I build, run and maintain a number of NGINX servers I am finding the Nano a lot more fussy than either my Oracle cloud servers (which were quite a learning curve in themselves) or previous experience with RPis and Ubuntu x86 systems. My first project is to get an IP camera system up and running with AI object recognition.
