Bug Description
Install of chromium from the Ubuntu software store fails with "Unable to perform the following tasks:" but nothing detailing what those failed tasks might be. Trying to install from the command line with "sudo snap install chromium" also fails, thus:
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run configure hook of "chromium" snap if present (run hook "configure": <exceeded maximum runtime of 5m0s>)
After briefly appearing in the /snap directory, the /snap/chromium directory disappears when the installation fails.
Running Ubuntu-18.04.6LTS

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.
I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https:/ /answers. launchpad. net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http:// loco.ubuntu. com/ or asking at https:/ /askubuntu. com or https:/ /ubuntuforums. org, or for more support options please look at https:/ /discourse. ubuntu. com/t/community -support/ 709
Launchpad tracks issues with deb packages (https:/ /packages. ubuntu. com/bionic- updates/ chromium- browser); snapd (https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/snapd) etc, but not snaps such as what you're filing the report about.
For details on snaps like you're issue please look at https:/ /snapcraft. io/chromium where bug reporting info can be found at the bottom; I'll change this to package to snapd.
Please execute the following command only once, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:
apport-collect 1953069
When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/ReportingBu gs.
