The error log:
[22102:22102:0426/015135.602783:ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(255)] Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2)

[22102:22102:0426/015135.604397:ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(255)] Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2)
The errors show up on a brand-new install of xubuntu 23.04 on older hardware (Xeon, Nvidia G218, nouveau driver, so no graphic acceleration, xfce/xfwm). (OP: did you see them under gnome?)
Launched from the command line, both google-chrome and microsoft-edge hang; the above errors show up and no window is opened, but there is no coredump or return to the console prompt (need to ctrl-C to get back).
chromium installed as a snap, under about://gru reports the exact same messages under Log Messages (at the end) but chromium itself runs perfectly fine.
The errors under chromium appear benign, under chrome or edge cause a catastrophic hang.
Seen on first launches for both, but tried deleting the ~/.config/chrome and ~/.config/edge as suggested elsewhere, no effect.
Tried to launch chrome --disable-features=TFLiteLanguageDetectionEnabled that is used by the snap chromium (again as reported by about://gru), no effect.
