After doing a full system upgrade today, Chromium now doesn't launch anymore.
There are no logs and there's no stdout/stderr output. The process and all of its child processes are running, but there's no application window. It also doesn't react to SIGTERM, so it has to be SIGKILLed.
In order to debug the issue, I've already tried starting it in a clean env with a new --user-data-dir=/tmp/new-chromium-udd and I also commented out everything in my `~/.config/chromium-flags.conf` (though nothing special here).
For now, I've rolled back to an earlier BTRFS system snapshot from before the full system update. I've also tried downgrading the chromium package itself, but to no success, so I'm not sure if this is actually caused by chromium or by one of its dependencies. No partial upgrades are involved and also no custom packages in regards to Chromium and its dependencies.
Does anyone have a similar problem or does anyone have an idea what could be wrong here? I'm not seeing any issues on the chromium package's issue tracker, hence why I'm looking for help on the forums here first.
This is the pacman log (last system update before that was 2025-05-08T17:40:00)

I use Arch with KDE Plasma DE, my system is fully updated.
On my system, Chromium and chromium-based apps like Discord and Vivaldi browser are problematic after update to kde frameworks 6.14.
I see errors related to kwallet, here is example of terminal output:

Any solution/workaround?

So are you having the same issue or what?
I see errors related to kwallet
I have kwallet disabled on my system, so I'm not sure if that could be the issue. All I can see in Chromium's code is that it's at least checking the respective DBus interface whether it's enabled. There you can also find one of the log messages that you've posted.
- https://github.com/chromium/chromium/bl … cc#L58-L71
- https://github.com/chromium/chromium/bl … us.cc#L109
Please check Chromium's `--password-store=<basic|gnome|kwallet>` launch option. I don't have the time right now to do another system upgrade and check myself with the basic password store forced via the CLI argument. This will probably also require a clean --user-data-dir.

I also keep kwallet disabled on my system. But I have solved the problems here by enabling it in KDE Plasma settings and then restarting Plasma session.

Thanks for checking. I'm going to have a look tomorrow... It looks like it could indeed be caused by recent kwallet changes.
Here's the log/diff between the previous and current kwallet version.
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kwall … ...v6.14.0
If I understand this correctly, they've added support for different storage backends via the newly added `ksecretd`, with the old `kwalletd` being a proxy for `ksecretd` now. That already smells like a potential issue here...
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kwall … /README.md
No issue reports on the Chromium bugtracker though:

There is a report in KDE bug tracker:

Ok, I've checked it again and it was indeed kwallet. Thanks for the hints. Tagging as solved now...
Like I've said, I had kwallet disabled. Enabling it after doing the system update again (kwallet 6.14.0) and restarting the Plasma session didn't work though. Even the kwallet KCM froze and KDE system settings with it. A reboot then resolved the problem. It was probably related to DBus interface changes that couldn't be resolved by restarting only Plasma, who knows...
Before enabling kwallet though, I also checked `chromium --password-store=basic`, and it worked. Previously, since I had kwallet disabled, Chromium also used the "basic" password store implementation, but only after querying the kwallet DBus interfaces first and checking whether it's enabled. This probably means that the query must have been stuck, as Chromium seems to be using the default timeout value on the DBus, so it didn't expire fast enough during my testing and Chromium didn't launch (I was impatient with that).
One more thing to note though: As I don't want to use kwallet, I disabled it again, but that somehow broke my Chromium profile (Chromium itself launched fine after the reboot), so I also added `--password-store=basic` to my `~/.config/chromium-flags.conf`. This switching back and forth must've messed with the profile's data. Not ideal, but I can live with that.
