I'm using systemd-nspawn only for command line, but I'm using google-chrome, not chromium, by another user account. Since I'm a little bit lazy, I'm using the sledgehammer, a simple xhost+.
More or less the whole script:
xhost + gksudo -u chuser "$*" xhost - exit
Since a few days back this xhost+ google-chrome instance tends to suffer from "Something went wrong when opening your profile. Some features may be unavailable."
Running google-chrome as the regular user works without issues.
I suspect a new security feature, probably provided for chromium as well as chrome.
PS: Since you donÄt experienc the same issue when running firefox, I'm running other apps not via systemd-nspawn, but by another user account, too, just using this xhost + script. Firefox is one of them and it doesn't suffer from any issue.
