If you can't get X11 or Wayland GUI Linux apps to start anymore on Chrome OS, try the following.
In the Terminal app, this will show the status of your systemd user services/units:
systemctl --user
If sommelier@0.service
and sommelier-x@0.service
show a failed status, the following worked for me:
sudo ln -s /opt/google/cros-containers/bin/sommelier.elf /usr/bin/
systemctl --user restart sommelier@0.service
systemctl --user restart sommelier-x@0.service
export DISPLAY=:0
Check again to see if those services are started now:
systemctl --user
Hopefully now X/Wayland apps work again.

just got the dev update on my pixelbook i5, sadly fix isn't working for me. only
sommelier-x@0.service
is failing:tried running
export DISPLAY=:0
beforesystemctl --user restart sommelier-x@0.service
, no change.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
update:
reboot, launch terminal app,
systemctl --user
shows sommelier-x@0.service running;starting the launcher while terminal is running crashes the GUI (which then reloads automagically);
rerunning
systemctl --user
in still open terminal app shows sommelier-x@0.service failed, and none of the above steps seem to revive it.
