malacusp 28750 27406 0 17:29 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto chromium I checked in system-monitor to see if there was anything in there and also rebooted to be extra sure. Then ran from cli again and get the same result. I wonder if it's failing at checking the singleton somewhere so thinks there is an instance running already maybe? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970611 Title: Chromium fails to start from snap after 22.04 upgrade Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Just went to open chromium to test a localhost website after upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04. It fails to launch with no error to desktop. I ran it from cli and got these errors. Chromium is installed from snap.
