I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 and obsidian stopped launching. Running it on the commandline generates this error message [11834:0503/112823.506564:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(415)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye. There is a workaround below using the obsidian --no-sandbox option when launching.
Steps to reproduce
Launch obsidian.
Expected result
Launch without error.
Actual result
