[SOLVED] Chromium crashes randomly

rubik · 2012-07-27 11:34:27

Chromium crashes randomly on a variety of sites. It produces no errors, just a SEGFAULT. I found many threads here but they're old and the workaround of the nscd daemon did not work for me. My chromium is updated (version 20.0.1132.57-2). I will try to get strace output.

Same problem here:

In console:

[jonander@7thHeaven ~]$ chromium 
[2454:2473:8888546331:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(489)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.kde.kwalletd was not provided by any .service files

[2454:2473:8889145957:ERROR:native_backend_kwallet_x.cc(175)] Error contacting kwalletd (isEnabled)
Segmentation fault

Works fine until suddenly.... boom! Segmentation fault

Happens on both 32 and 64 bit..... also happens in my laptop.... so i don't think it's config related unless having KDE in both could affect anything...

same experience with different setup (openbox/xfce/gnome). As this occurs randomly did not use the strace yet

rubik · 2012-07-27 17:05:52

If this matters, I'm on Openbox.

I've been getting the same on my system. As well as crashes with Konqueror (using webkit engine) and Rekonq. I also tried removing Flash. I'm using KDE. I was about to do some memory tests, but I'm glad to hear others are having issues too, hopefully its not hardware related.

Oh I finally got it (strace output). Now I'm gonna to try gdb.

$ strace -o st_out chromium
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Segmentation fault

But where do I upload the output? It's 51 MB! May it be related to nvidia? As far as I know I don't have a nvdia card!
In the meantime, I found this (it's from multiple crashes):

I also occurred this especially when the first start after log in the system(that is,it will always crash the first start)

monojp · 2012-08-02 09:00:50

I'm not a 100% sure right now but it seems the last update (21.0.1180.57-1) combined with clearing ~/.config/chromium and ~/.cache/chromium solved the random crashes for me. can somebody confirm that?

it worked for me too

monojp · 2012-08-02 13:49:54

hmm my browser just crashed, but only once the whole day compared to numerous times yesterday..

Xi0N · 2012-08-03 18:26:46

Well, for me it's crashing like before.... nothing changed-... and i followed the steps of erasing the whole profile and cache folder....

c00ki · 2012-08-05 13:07:41

yep - same thing here:

Chromium 21.0.1180.57
Linux t410 3.4.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 29 22:02:56 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

pgiddy · 2012-08-07 01:23:59

Same here. Anyone have any ideas? Considering a fresh install since this is so bad.

Chromium Version 21.0.1180.57 (148591)
Kernel : Linux 3.4.7-1-ARCH (x86_64)

dabbi2000 · 2012-08-07 11:00:30

Having exactly same problem, Chromium latest version on 64 bit Arch

I cleared cache and Chromium folder as suggested, it got better for 2 days but now it's just as bad as before and actually making it impossible to use as it just closes down without any warning, most commonly while opening a new tab and entering URL or while doing some javascript/JSON work

This has to be fixed, it's coming to the point of being impossible to use Chromium :-/

matkam · 2012-08-07 16:17:53

Is this happening with chromium compiled on your current system? Can anyone confirm this bug with the chromium-dev package from aur? I couldn't get it to compile myself.

GFB · 2012-08-08 16:31:16

For me no crashes since updating to newest version.

Xi0N · 2012-08-08 16:34:23

Same here... no more crashes..... wonderful

rubik · 2012-08-11 10:29:24

I can confirm. No more crashes here as well. I'm marking this as solved.

punkrockguy318 · 2012-08-19 18:37:44

I'm actually still able to reproduce this issue on lastest Arch 64 with the latest chromium -- even after clearing ~/.cache and ~/.config/chromium. My workaround for now has been to run the google-chrome binary package instead. Is this issue still affecting anyone else?

punkrockguy318 · 2012-08-19 18:57:55

I spoke to soon -- google-chrome is crashing for me as well D:

rubik · 2012-08-19 19:04:33

This was about Chromium. I have no issue at all! Maybe you should open a new topic.

punkrockguy318 · 2012-08-19 19:26:32

I could make a new topic, but I'm having the exact same issue described in this topic with chromium 21.0.1180.79-1 (i was merely mentioning that the issue is present for me in chrome as well fwiw)

Xi0N · 2012-08-19 21:59:32

For me i's running perfectly on two computers... i686 and x86_64 ... but I noticed the latest builds are slow as hell....
