Sorry about last comment. (ignore last comment)

The workaround in bug 18752 fixes the blank screen. (This is also my bug report)
export QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1
export _X11_NO_MITSHM=1
export _MITSHM=0

This work until 81.0.4044.122 which causes a crash (chromium exit) with
FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(439)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye

The --no-sandbox is a work around loosing process isolation. Which disabling the sandbox is not recommended,

The --use-gl=swiftshader was a work around for the blank screen not the crash and --use-gl option does nothing in 81.0.4044.138.

Summary so far:
 This is not same bug as 18752 but a new problem on a new version of chromium (Have not removed 18752 work around)
 There exists a work around --no-sandbox but is not recommended to use.
