I have 20.04 where Chromium browser was working fine. Since the last couple of days whenever I click the icon, nothing happens. I simply cannot use the browser now. I have some important logins inside it. Not that I can’t get them from backup, but I would love to continue using it.
This might be Chromium snap : Kernel has no file descriptor comparison support: Operation not permitted.
Can you run chromium with the following command from a terminal, and paste here the output?
snap run chromium --enable-logging=stderr --v=1

Here is the output
$ snap run chromium --enable-logging=stderr --v=1

The account I am currently in does not accept sudo as it is a non-admin account. I have another non-admin account where Chromium opens normally. I think the issue is restricted to a single user, which is the regular user of this machine. Thanks.
Looks like the problem exists in admin account as well. I tried the commands, but still no luck. Chromium won’t start. 
I tried the commands in admin account. It took a while but 2 Chromium windows opened. But now I tried my regular account where sudo is not working in terminal, I get no Chromium. Thanks.
Re wording the situation -
Works on admin account, not working in normal account. Even after 3 restarts.
Does this make things better?
