* When chromium is started, this error appears:

[1:1:0514/044540:FATAL:chrome_main_delegate.cc(804)] Check failed: !loaded_locale.empty(). Locale could not be found for
#0 0x556dce57879e <unknown>

* failed attempts to resolve the problem so far:
- uninstalling, deleting cache and config then reinstalling
- downgrading the chromium package to: chromium-50.0.2661.75-1
- creating a new user, and starting chromium from the new user account
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Hopefully you have figured it out by now. Doesn't seem like anyone else has reported a similar issue.

Is that all output? Do you have something in IgnorePkg?
Comment by Omar ZD (Omar) - Saturday, 21 May 2016, 21:22 GMT
Yes that's the only output, and there aren't any packages assigned in IgnorePkg.
