Since I updated my 13.2 installation this morning Chromium will not start. Attempting to start Chromium from the command line prompt gives a one line error message:

I notice the kernel was updated with this update. Any ideas on how to get Chromium back?
Thanks,

Oh, and a forced re-install of chrome does not fix it either. I'm using chrome-stable.
Did find some old-ish google hits: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=480017 And getting updated with opensuse users.
Also this page has a work around: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/513348-chromium-failed-to-launch-...
Start chrome as: /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U --disable-namespace-sandbox
and start chromium as: chromium --disable-namespace-sandbox
This doesn't seem like a permanent (or wise) solution, but it did work for me.
I can confirm the same problem after the latest kernel update and that the (ill-advised) workaround does work. openSUSE 13.2 x86_64 | 3.16.7-32-desktop | KDE 4.14.9 4.14.9 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
