Have you tried launching it from the terminal and seeing if it reports an error?
You just type in Chromium in terminal, correct? It just says command not found.
Yes all lowercase but that should work. It sounds almost like chromium got uninstalled or moved. Try uninstalling through discover and reinstalling, if that doesn't work go to your application menu and right click on the chromium launcher and select "edit application" then click the "Application" tab, the "Program" field should say where it's looking for the chromium binary, what does it say there? Also if you type "which chromium" into the terminal, what does it say?
it’s
chromium-browserand not chromium, that would be why the command is not foundOhhhkay! Thanks for clearing that up. Here's the error output:
[70532:70532:1005/105835.024179:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(358)] The profile appears to be in use by another Chromium process (98887) on another computer (fedora). Chromium has locked the profile so that it doesn't get corrupted. If you are sure no other processes are using this profile, you can unlock the profile and relaunch Chromium.

~/.config/chromium/SingletonLockbeing deleted should fix, may require rebootThis worked!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Crazy that fedora hasn't updated command just in case someone wants to play the boring SHMUP lol, on arch and debian it's just "chromium"
that’s also not chromium but
chromium-bsu
