Bug Description
Ubuntu jammy box.
I woke my box this morning & resumed it (from suspend; LXQt session) & everything was normal (many apps including chromium-browser visible on displays). I can't say when I last logged in (many days no doubt!), but I shutdown session to use box for QA-test & comment on bug report.
After normal reboot & logging in though I tried opening `chromium` many times but nothing happened (from dock in GNOME). As most of what I do is in `firefox` I ignored it... It's been like that several hours with occasional tries & no exploration as to issue.
On opening a terminal to try and open `chromium-browser` I get the following

In `journalctl` I notice

I see a snap-confine error in `dmesg` but I don't think its related (nothing else is even close)
