[SOLVED] Can't open Chromium web browser

So whenever I try to open Chromium browser, it shows it's loading but then nothing happens. And whenever I try to open it from command line it shows this:

[3791:3791:0322/163756.740493:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(353)] The profile appears to be in use by another Chromium process (2085) on another computer (archlinux). Chromium has locked the profile so that it doesn't get corrupted. If you are sure no other processes are using this profile, you can unlock the profile and relaunch Chromium.
[3791:3791:0322/163756.740534:ERROR:message_box_dialog.cc(146)] Unable to show a dialog outside the UI thread message loop: Chromium - The profile appears to be in use by another Chromium process (2085) on another computer (archlinux). Chromium has locked the profile so that it doesn't get corrupted. If you are sure no other processes are using this profile, you can unlock the profile and relaunch Chromium.

then I tried

pkill chromium

but it still shows the same thing. Then I tried the same but with -o (pkill -o chromium), and still the same thing.
Please can anyone help me?

        Thanks for reading my signature, but I'm afraid there is nothing interesting to see over here. So I don't know why are you still reading this. Okay I should admit that you are curious, so if you are still reading this far, congratulations!

Re: [SOLVED] Can't open Chromium web browser

   Static hostname: (unset)                         
Transient hostname: dhcppc1

This is why this happens, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … e_hostname

 File: /home/Link/.config/chromium/SingletonLock -> archlinux-2085

This is the problem.

Fix your hostname, remove /home/Link/.config/chromium/SingletonLock and /home/Link/.config/chromium/archlinux-2085 and reboot.
