Same problem, after upgrading to Lucid and when installing a new version of chromium. Downgrading chromium didn't solve the problem.

$ chromium-browser

$ ls -ld /dev/shm/

$ grep shm /lib/init/fstab
none /dev/shm tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0

$ added in /etc/fstab with the options: nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=1777 and works.
Are this the most appropiate options?
