Same here, Chromium does not start anymore.
System: Kubuntu 21.10 with latest updates as of today

Title:
  chromium-browser is refusing to start

Status in snapd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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

  --
  guiverc at d960-ubu2:~$   chromium-browser 
  internal error, please report: running "chromium" failed: transient scope could not be started, job /org/freedesktop/systemd1/job/771 finished with result failed

  In `journalctl` I notice

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