Chromium wont start on Ubuntu 16.04

I'm having this problem:

$ chromium-browser

[end of stack trace]
Calling _exit(1). Core file will not be generated.

The issue started this morning after the /boot partition was reported full. I cleaned it, but the issue remains. At this point, I could not find any other question that contains the same stack trace or that is related to this particular issue.

I have tried several things I found on the web, all resulting in the same error, again and again:

Tried moving the cache somewhere else:

 mv ~/.cache/chromium oldshit

Tried deleting the cache:

 rm ~/.config/google-chrome/*
 cd ~/.cache/chromium 
 rm -rf *

Tried un-installing and install again:

 sudo apt-get remove chromium-browser
 sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this ?

Solution 1:

This issue seems to have been caused by the recent update to version 59.0.3071.109.

The temporary solution is to try to open it without extensions:

chromium-browser --disable-extensions
