@slboss222 OK, so this is a confirmed kernel stack change.

While this is likely a bug, it’s probably not a Chromium bug, but rater related to the ubuntu-drivers-common package. Can you post the output of “LC_ALL=C apt list --installed 'linux-*'” (without the “”) ?

This will help confirm the origin of the bug, as well as determine the steps to solve the problem.

The possible cause is the Ubuntu third-party driver logic choosing an Nvidia driver for another kernel stack, which then triggers installation of those kernels, to satisfy dependencies.

The solution would be to uninstall those non-generic kernels and associated drivers (provided there’s at least one generic kernel installed) and then rebooting.

It’s also possible that the Nvidia driver version is too old, and that may be what triggered the bug. Running “ubuntu-drivers install” should bring it up to date.
