[SOLVED] Chromium exiting on opening

Hello, guys!

I'm using Arch on a 32-bit install and using chromium 37.0.2062.120-2, but since I've updated to that version I'm getting the following error on opening:

$ chromium
[1007/234520:FATAL:content_main_runner.cc(715)] Check failed: base::i18n::InitializeICU().
Aborted (core dumped)

I saw that there are similar errors happening on Chromium OS
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1427078

Did anyone had that problem with Chromium recently? Any tips on how to proceed?

Best,

I'm using slack...

What?  Slackware?

You know this is the archlinux forums, right?

Sorry, I was doing many things at the same time. I'm using Arch.

Does this happen with the official Chrome build too? Get it from AUR to try.

Hi!
Just downloaded the official Chrome build from AUR and the browser opens without a hiccup. Chromium 37.0.2062.120-2, Chrome 38.0.2125.101-1.

A new Chromium release has just been uploaded to extra, you might want to try it too.

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium exiting on opening

Hi,
After the update the problem stopped happening. Seems chromium updated to the same version as Google Chrome.

Thanks for the help!
