ungoogled-chromium doesn't start

Hey! I've got a Dell Inspiron 7577(i5 7300 HQ, 1060 Max-Q). I'm running on the intel drivers and the proprietary  nvidia drivers(using optimus-manager to switch whenever I want to). I recently built ungoogled-chromium from AUR and it doesn't start at all.

Error when I try to start it via the terminal:

[28345:28345:0814/204330.636766:ERROR:vaapi_wrapper.cc(326)] vaInitialize failed: unknown libva error
[28345:28345:0814/204330.660500:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(369)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.
zsh: illegal hardware instruction (core dumped)  chromium

I uninstalled it, reinstalled it. chown'ed ~/.config/chromium, deleted the config. No idea what to do now. I'd appreciate any help, Thanks!

Re: ungoogled-chromium doesn't start

Same exact issue and error but on a totally different desktop system (i5-4670 with AMD graphics).

Today I did a package upgrade

pacman -Syu

and then

pacaur -S ungoogled-chromium

to recompile. When I run Chromium I get the same error.  Can we provide any debugging info that can help the maintainers?

My system is upto date aswell..

chromium --diagnostics gives this.

Re: ungoogled-chromium doesn't start

Read the AUR comments, apparently there has been a new release that the AUR package has not yet been bumped to.

This old version should still work, right?
I just built it

oknvm my bad. Seems to be bugged. I'll build it via another source and report it here.
