[SOLVED] Chromium Does Not Launch

arnuld · 2023-09-27 15:32:22

Nothing happens when I click on Chromium to launch it. On Terminal, the cursor just hangs there and Chromium does not open. Using GNOME (Wayland). Also, no extra CPU or RAM usage, system load average as per htop is 0.23 etc. I keep on doing pacman -Syu everyday. Here is some info:

[arnuld@arch64 ~ ]$ chromium --version
Chromium 117.0.5938.92 Arch Linux

...

[arnuld@arch64 ~ ]$ sudo journalctl -x | grep -E "chrome"

Why are you grepping for "chrome" on "chromium" issues?
Don't grep at all, look at the journal of the current boot ("-b", if you're gonna post it, under no circumstances use "-x")

canberra is probably a red herring (google the message, it's gnome SNAFU)

If there're no relevant errors, try to move away the chromium profile, ~/.config/chromium
Also check ~/.config/chromium-flags.conf - maybe you've some flags in there that are no longer supported and try https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chromi … nd_support

using "-b" returns nothing

I removed ~/.config/chromium before posting it here and ~/.config/chromium-flags.conf does not exist.

I tried using but no luck:

--ozone-platform-hint=auto
--ozone-platform=wayland

And this is not the first time I got this problem. Over last 1 year, I have gotten it third time this time. It generally goes away after a month of updates.

UPDATE: Just did an update and everything is fine now. Marking it as solved.

UPDATE 22nd of Jan, 2024 Chromium has again this same problem
