  1. I was getting the same error with Vivaldi and could launch it using this command:

    $ vivaldi-stable  %U --password-store=basic

    Maybe this can launch google-chrome too. I am not sure what the original problem has been in my case and how this fixes it.

    Reference.

    UPDATE 1:

    Well I have some more info on possible cause of my issue. I noticed that Evolution was not also running properly. It was not able to sync the imap folders. I use fingerprint login in Ubuntu 20.04 and after logging in, it always used to ask for my actual password when launching Vivaldi.

    This time, I noticed that after logging in with fingerprint it did not ask for a password when trying to launch Vivaldi and as mentioned above, Vivaldi didn't launch either.

    So I logged out and logged back in my password. This time, both Vivaldi and Evolution worked fine.

  2. "Solving Google Chrome's gpu-process error message in Ubuntu Linux" worked for me.

    google-chrome --disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer

    It disables GPU hardware acceleration. If software renderer is not in place, then the GPU process won't launch.

  3. You need to delete configurations:

    rm -rdf ~/.config/google-chrome

    Also maybe you need to delete the cache:

    rm -rdf ~/.cache/google-chrome

    Please note that this will reset your google chrome completely. Just like you installed it fresh.
