But, subsequent to my last email I used Software Center to remove chromium, because I couldn't get to the Downloads directory in either U-Mate or Lu 20 . . . and then I tried to manually download it trying to use Gdebi, but the file was a .zip file and extracting it just put a directory on my desktop . . . and I ran out of time on it.</div><div><br></div><div>I might try later on to download it as .deb file, there was a command in your thread that someone used, but I wasn't sure if that brings in chrome or chromium, generally I wanted chromium . . . but for the purpose of getting pics up on IG, whatever works would suffice.</div><div><br></div><div>Appreciate the conversation on it.</div><div><br></div><div>F<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Feb 15, 2020 at 9:55 PM Chris Guiver <<a href="mailto:guiverc@gmail.com">guiverc@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">The `snap connect` command doesn't need `sudo` to run, it'll open a<br>

I would run snap commands without `sudo`` so anything that needs user<br>
level permissions will still have them, where as if `sudo` is used it<br>
may mean you'll need `sudo` for all features to operate. Removing the<br>
snap, and installing it correctly without `sudo` should resolve this.<br>
Sorry I don't know how `sudo` will impact chromium nor what it's<br>
effects will be.<br>
<br>
Loading or saving to a ~/Downloads directory (ie.<br>
/home/guiverc/Downloads/ for my box) should not require the snap<br>
connect to operate; as a users $HOME directory should be accessible<br>
for any snap I believe. As stated in my last paragraph, I'd be tempted<br>
to remove the chromium & start agin without using `sudo` (except for<br>
the `apt install` which does require sudo). The other thing I'd check<br>
(probably first) is the owner of the ~/Downloads/ directory, and<br>
probably files in that directory, to ensure they are owned by you &<br>
not 'root' from a prior errant `sudo` command).<br>
<br>
Your alternative is to wait to see if a developer with more knowledge<br>
than me (I'm a user) provides other alternatives. Because wrong use of<br>
`sudo` can create problems, I tend to err on the side of caution & not<br>
use it unless I know it's required, or I get errors (such as enter<br>
`apt install cowsay` without sudo) which ~clearly hints at elevated<br>
privileges being required ("are you root?" for my apt install<br>
example).<br>
