[SOLVED] chromium failure

I updated with pacman -Syu yesterday and today my chromium won't start. I delete the ~/.config/chromium folder, but that did not help.

$ chromium

X11 or wayland?

Re: [SOLVED] chromium failure

wayland
I had did not register that the transparency is the issue, especially since chromium has been working for me for years without issues. Thanks for sending me back to re-read. Running

chromium --ozone-platform=wayland

fixes the issue.

Re: [SOLVED] chromium failure

It's actually not necessarily transparency, just xwayland might have failed if you've eg. disabled it (you could check whether you actually get running chromium processes when not enforcing wayland)

Re: [SOLVED] chromium failure

Chromium does run in the background with x11

/usr/lib/chromium/chromium --use-cmd-decoder=passthrough --disable-gpu

.
