v.124.0.6367.60-1 does not launch about com.google.chrome

flathub/org.chromium.Chromium#385

This is an upstream bug and specifically applies if you set the "Preferred Ozone platform" / ozone-platform-hint option. You should be able to run Chromium with --ozone-platform=wayland to work around it.

I suspect you also have wayland flag enabled.

It seems that --ozone-platform-hint=wayland is borked upstream.

Passing --ozone-platform=wayland works fine.

@8bitbuddhist a better solution is to just to drop the flag in ~/.var/app/com.google.Chrome/config/chrome-flags.conf

The .desktop file change will probably be overriden by an update. But not sure.

Same here.

$ sudo flatpak update --commit=e133458c4e1b08c5225046826dc9e7139967d92b6f94ad07dac2c7d942892500 com.google.Chrome
To rollback

Edit: Didn't mean to close this out 😅

That works, thanks @refi64 and @cungureanu!

For anyone who's not sure what to do, I edited the Chrome launcher using MenuLibre and added the preferred Ozone platform to the launch command: flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/chrome --file-forwarding com.google.Chrome --ozone-platform=wayland @@u %U @@
