So I use Chromium for work. I installed it through Discovery and selected the "From Fedora Linux" option. It's worked fine for months. Then this morning, I closed out of it then opened it up later and it simply would not launch. It gives the little bouncy icon for a moment, then nothing. So I fiddle around with it, and downloaded the flatpak version, which worked, but I don't want it. Any idea how I can get it back up and running?

Running Plasma 6.1.5, Wayland. I already tried hopping into the Gnome desktop and that didn't work. Thanks in advance!

      went looking for reasons chromium wouldn’t start and there’s a bug dated today with that, not sure if that is the issue or what would have caused it

      running chromium-browser from the terminal would be what to try and see if there is an error, if it is the one above according to the bug report it’ll spit out /usr/bin/chromium-browser: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenCL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

      if it’s that, according to the bug report, dnf install ocl-icd should fix it

      if there’s a different error can update the post with what it says
