Chromium browser doesn't open in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I tried to open Chromium browser via command line interface, namely terminal, by writing chromium-browser, but it doesn't open. CLI shows the following message:

Using PPAPI flash.
 --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=
Created new window in existing browser session.
[16942:16982:0801/021450.373005:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(103)] Failed to launch GPU process.

output of lspci -k | grep -iEA3 'VGA|3D|Display' command on CLI: 

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 5902 (rev 04)
    Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Device 5902

I learned the problem was with display. I learned it through screenshot I took. It showed double screens. So I looked on the internet for the answer and learned that I had to turn off the "Built-in Display" in System Settings -> Displays menu. After turning off that "Built-in Display" in System Settings, all browsers that was not opening before started to open. Google Chrome, Chromium browser and Opera browser are working now. Vivaldi browser was not showing an extra new window, but that is also working now.
