Chromium crashing upon launch and never opening

Hello,

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
       System Level

[PASS] Chrome version test

       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.

Welcome to the forum! :wave:

Please run chromium from the terminal and post the output here.

Tip: When pasting terminal output, use Preformatted text. I’ve edited your post for you this time. :wink:

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…
