Bug Description
Hi,
on one of my kiosk systems running xubuntu 16.04.2 (Kernelversion 4.4.0-28-generic) chromium stop working today. It just won't start anymore. When I try to run the launcher from shell it just reports:
/usr/lib/
The funny thing is ffmpeg was'n installed in the first place and chromium runs just fine in the context of a normal userprofile.
I checked the apt histroy and saw chromium was updated today. I then tried to install ffmpeg in the hopes to solve the issue but to no avail. Now I can find libffmpeg in the guest user contest via locate but chromium still repsonds with the same error message.
apt-cache policy chromium-browser

I can't reproduce the problem in a clean xenial VM.
When you say you can locate libffmpeg.so, where is it installed?
Does the following command improve things?
sudo apt install --reinstall chromium- codecs- ffmpeg- extra
