Ok, where to begin… I’ve had a setup both on my desktop and and laptop where I’ve been running GUI enabled containers for different purposes and used Chrome as my main browser; running it in separate containers has allowed me to have an instance of the browrser which is using a speficic VPN and such… well you get the idea of why.
I’m running Kubuntu as the OS on both of my computers and now upgraded to 25.04. I’ve encountered this issue before on my laptop with an earlier OS and LXD version that starting Chrome from a GUI enabled container does not work, Chrome starts but it does not render properly… So this seems to be some kind of evil voodoo combo of the Plasma, LXD and Chrome versions as on my laptop the problem previously went away by itself as things got updated… but now it struck again and of course I’m not getting anything into any logs that would directly indicate what is the issue…
Any pointers on how to debug this would be greatly appreciated, I know this is a tricky one as there is no clear indication of what might be causing the issue…
OK, after some digging I noticed that dmesg shows an AppArmor denied message that appears when I start Chrome in a GUI enabled container. This occurs on both hosts.
so now the command nvidia-smi shows the GPU inside the GUI enabled containers. But no effect on the Chrome issue… Also tried Brave and Chromium, with them as also with Chrome I’m getting these errors in the container… Brave and Chromium (usually) crash after a short while, Chrome does not.

Firefox works, Glxgears works, Terminator works, a lot of other stuff works but a lot of things that worked previously do not… This is extremely annoying.
