Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Sounds like missing third-party software that actually handles opening a console window.

Perhaps you need something like: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-vsphere-web-client-plugin/

I haven't tested the above and have no interest to mess around with VMware. I can't see how this is a Chromium bug (unless Chrome somehow works).
