Several snap applications crashing at startup

cx flag

Several applications like KeepassXC and chromium-browser are crashing at startup. To me it looks like there is an error in snap. I had the same issue with firefox and got it fixed as soon as I took it out of snap control and replaced it with a deb package.

KeepassXC crashes with:

$ keepassxc

Chromium-browser even fails to install after I tried reinstalling it:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
