Today I installed manjaro linux with xfce on my laptop.
Ive tried installing chromium but after launching it through the whisker menu and terminal, it didn’t launch.
I checked system monitor and i found a bunch of chromium tasks running(?). Like this:
[chromium]
[chromium]
[chromium]
[chromium]
Probably because i tried launching it a few times.
It was installed with the command sudo pacman -Syu chromium.
I then ran chromium -diagnostics and got this:
[PASS] Install type

[PASS] Chrome version test

File not found (but that is OK)
[FAIL] History database
File not found
[PASS] Top Sites database
File not found (but that is OK)
[PASS] Database tracker database
File not found (but that is OK)
I have no clue how ti fix these errors. If anyone can help id greatly appreciate that.
Also there are a whole but ton of chromium crashpad processes indicating that it’s crashing upon launch.
Thanks for the response, running the command in terminal had no output yesterday. It was like this:
[bery@andrej-latitude ~]$ chromium
And the chromium window wouldn’t open.
But today it worked perfectly.
Running the diagnostics today gave me a complete pass but still told me some files were missing:
[bery@andrej-latitude ~]$ chromium -diagnostics

Finished 16 tests.
I guess it fixed itself after a reboot since I turn my laptop off when I’m done with it. Pretty confusing imo…
