[SOLVED] Error launching chromium.

I just fixed my errors with the locales, (i.e. perl error: make sure your locales are installed...) but now I have a new problem. Upon running the command 'chromium', I get [0507/152052:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_client.cc(126)] Check failed: IsFileSystemAccessDenied().
[1:1:0507/082052:ERROR:nacl_fork_delegate_linux.cc(314)] Bad NaCl helper startup ack (0 bytes)
[1:1:0507/082052:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_client.cc(126)] Check failed: IsFileSystemAccessDenied().
I have spent a couple days trying to get chromium to launch with no luck. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated. I will check back as often as I can to update you with any needed/missing information to aid in the process.

Partition full? Any strange permissions?

Re: [SOLVED] Error launching chromium.

Nope. Just installed Arch a couple days ago, installed chromium, and tried to run it. This error was also displayed along with the locale errors, which I just fixed about an hour ago. Everything is default. I also have a 1 TB hard drve, with only a couple things installed. Vim, KDE, and maybe 2 or 3 other tools.

Re: [SOLVED] Error launching chromium.

Just installed Arch a couple days ago

Can you provide a brief list of the steps you took to accomplish this please.

Also, are you trying to run Chromium as root?

Re: [SOLVED] Error launching chromium.

After several failed attempts of following several tutorials online, I decided to just follow the wiki, and it worked (go figure). And yes, I am running as root, seeing as Arch is the first distro I have installed on native hardware, (I know, crazy, but I'm determined to learn), I have yet to create another user. I understand this is bad practice, but I am not building/installing any packages but Vim, Kde, and as you know, Chromium. Would making a user account with lower priviledges possibly solve my problem?

Yes -- Chromium will not run as root (see the thread I linked).
