So I use Chromium for work. I installed it through Discovery and selected the “From Fedora Linux” option. It’s worked fine for months. Then this morning, I closed out of it then opened it up later and it simply would not launch. It gives the little bouncy icon for a moment, then nothing. So I fiddle around with it, and downloaded the flatpak version, which worked, but I don’t want it. Any idea how I can get it back up and running?
Running Plasma 6.1.5, Wayland. I already tried hopping into the Gnome desktop and that didn’t work. Thanks in advance!
Have you tried launching it from the terminal and seeing if it reports an error?
You just type in Chromium in terminal, correct? It just says command not found.
it’s
chromium-browserand not chromium, that would be why the command is not foundOhhhkay! Thanks for clearing that up. Here’s the error output:
[70532:70532:1005/105835.024179:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(358)] The profile appears to be in use by another Chromium process (98887) on another computer (fedora). 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.

~/.config/chromium/SingletonLockbeing deleted should fix, may require reboot
Crazy that fedora hasn’t updated command just in case someone wants to play the boring SHMUP lol, on arch and debian it’s just “chromium”
that’s also not chromium but
chromium-bsu
Yes all lowercase but that should work. It sounds almost like chromium got uninstalled or moved. Try uninstalling through discover and reinstalling, if that doesn’t work go to your application menu and right click on the chromium launcher and select “edit application” then click the “Application” tab, the “Program” field should say where it’s looking for the chromium binary, what does it say there? Also if you type “which chromium” into the terminal, what does it say?

Chromium browser does not launch because it is missing OpenCL
Installing ocl-icd fixes this problem
How would it have suddenly not have OpenCL? I didn’t even restart the computer. Either way, how would I install that?
went looking for reasons chromium wouldn’t start and there’s a bug dated today with that, not sure if that is the issue or what would have caused it
running
chromium-browserfrom the terminal would be what to try and see if there is an error, if it is the one above according to the bug report it’ll spit out/usr/bin/chromium-browser: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenCL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryif it’s that, according to the bug report,
dnf install ocl-icdshould fix itif there’s a different error can update the post with what it says
