**Issue Identified:&#x20;**&#x41; code change in Swimlane 10.20.1 prevents the download or distribution of any dashboard or report. The following errors may be observed:&#x20;

:::BlockQuote
Gotenberg Chromium causing the error "Failed to export the report pdf. Gotenberg Chromium conversion failed conversion failed" when downloading reports
:::

or&#x20;

Unhandled exception occurred while processing API request: Gotenberg Chromium conversion failed.

As an On-prem customer you may use this command below to patch the gotenberg service until the 10.20.2 hotfix release is made available and deployed in your environment.

**Important Notes:&#x20;**

- As an Embedded cluster customer, you have gotenberg running in the default namespace
- As an Existing cluster customer, you will most likely have Swimlane deployed in a custom namespace so update the namespace in the kubectl patch command...the argument after the -n switch.

:::BlockQuote
kubectl -n \<namespace> patch deployment gotenberg --type=json -p='\[\{"op": "remove","path": "/spec/template/spec/containers/0/securityContext/readOnlyRootFilesystem"}]'
:::

This change will persist until the next version (10.20.2) is deployed from the KOTS Admin UI.
