Wes,
That's because tmpfs was mis-mounted.

What I want to do is 'umount tmpfs', the 'mount tmpfs /dev/shm'

No, the issue was first reported in 2015. Same problem because tmpfs was
not mounted on /dev/shm

Both chromium and opera open and immediately shut down. The error is seen
when starting chromium on a console.
If I correctly understand what you've written, I can umount and re-mount
tmpfs without breaking anything. Correct?
