[rmyeid@tent: ~] $ chromium-browser
[11868:11880:4392770364:ERROR:shared_memory_posix.cc(167)] Creating shared memory in /dev/shm/.org.chromium.Chromium.xmkH4s failed: No such file or directory
[11868:11880:4392771707:ERROR:shared_memory_posix.cc(170)] Unable to access(W_OK|X_OK) /dev/shm: No such file or directory
[11868:11880:4392771743:FATAL:shared_memory_posix.cc(172)] This is frequently caused by incorrect permissions on /dev/shm. Try 'sudo chmod 1777 /dev/shm' to fix.

A quick fix is
sudo ln -s /run/shm /dev/
