Today from a fresh boot, it won't launch. ``` mattias@cerebus:~$ chromium Gtk-Message: 10:04:38.060: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Gtk-Message: 10:04:38.061: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) ``` Using snap revert it goes back to latest/stable (1213), and works perfectly. Refreshing back to 1229 reproduces the issue.
