[Fixed] Chromium segfaults with glibc 2.15?

After yesterday's upgrade and a reboot, I found that chromium was refusing to start from my panel shortcut. Tried launching it from a terminal and it simply printed "Segmentation Fault". I then checked dmesg, and it spit this at me:

[  410.814178] chromium[22417]: segfault at 17 ip 00007fc4624263ae sp 00007fc468539f10 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[7fc462311000+199000]

After clicking on the panel shortcut a few times, it'll eventually start up and work normally.

Versions of Stuff Involved:
chromium 16.0.912.77-1
glibc 2.15-4

Edit: This bug is fixed in glibc 2.15-5

I'm on x86_64, though I've never had to use gdb before. Would I follow the steps on the "Debug - Getting Traces" page of the wiki and build chromium with the debug symbols? [Since gdb quit saying that no debug symbols were found]

Re: [Fixed] Chromium segfaults with glibc 2.15?

I would not worry about that if glibcis causing the crash.   Just run "gdb chromium", type "run" and then "bt" after it crashes.

Re: [Fixed] Chromium segfaults with glibc 2.15?

Oh, I see. I thought that gdb required the debug symbols to work.

Had to use /usr/lib/chromium/chromium since gdb didn't want to load the wrapper script that's in /usr/bin. I got gdb to load chromium but I can't seem to replicate the crash through gdb. Every time I've tried it's loaded up just fine and has no stack when I type bt after closing it. Though the segfault still occurs in the terminal and from the panel plugin, happening immediately before the UI can even load.

Can you try "strace chromium"  (with the strace package...) and see if you get the crash?

Re: [Fixed] Chromium segfaults with glibc 2.15?

Yes, I'm having the same trouble with the newest official chromium. x86_64, but I'm not at home right now. I was going crazy cause this is on my brand new system, and I have it running memtest right now while at work. I'll try to get a backtrace tomorrow.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Re: [Fixed] Chromium segfaults with glibc 2.15?

For me Chromium worked fine until yesterday. After todays upgrade to Chromium 16.0.912.75-1 (64-bit), I get segmentation fault.

Hm strange, pacman.log says: [2012-01-04 21:04] upgraded glibc (2.14.1-4 -> 2.15-3) That's two days ago, and I used Chromium yesterday. (Only very short, just to do one thing that i couldn't do in Firefox. But then Chromium worked.) I tried to downgrade Chromium to version 16.0.912.63, but it didn't help, still 'segmentation fault'.

I also have Arch (64-bit) in Virtualbox, and I didn't update it yesterday. So there it has
Glibc 2.15-3
Chromium 16.0.912.63
and Chromium works fine. But when I start it from terminal it says:

[1:1:144245892:ERROR:nacl_fork_delegate_linux.cc(78)] Bad NaCl helper startup ack (0 bytes)

Got the same issue with the same backtrace. It seems to stop crashing if nscd is running.
Make sure you have /var/run/nscd and /var/db/nscd created for it to actually start.

Re: [Fixed] Chromium segfaults with glibc 2.15?

Mine segfaulted for the first time this morning, though I've been living in Windows for the past few days, so I don't know when the issue came about. I tried the gdb trace mentioned by Alan above but couldn't get it to work. gdb responded that /usr/bin/chromium wasn't a readable binary. Quite perplexing. I switched to AUR's chromium-browser-bin and it's fine. Curious what's doing this...

Re: [Fixed] Chromium segfaults with glibc 2.15?

@jwhendy: That error occurs because /usr/bin/chromium is just a wrapper script, the actual executable lives in /usr/lib/chromium/chromium.
I'm pretty sure chromium-browser-bin uses continuous releases, so it might be using a newer version that no longer has this bug.
I'm currently building chromium-dev since the flash bug that I mentioned in my original post was fixed with version 18.x for the dev channel. Maybe it won't segfault since chromium-browser-bin doesn't.

Edit: Nope, current Dev build has the same issue as the stable, however, I was able to get a backtrace off of this one:

Re: [Fixed] Chromium segfaults with glibc 2.15?

dunno if it helps, but i've experienced the same crashes (or similar) using chrome, not chromium.

[  566.630889] chrome[1915]: segfault at b ip b346ff95 sp ae26b850 error 6 in libc-2.15.so[b3352000+19c000]

seems to happen mostly when i type something in the search/url bar, but it's happened a couple times "out of the blue" from no direct apparent action.i used to run the -dev build and tried the regular one but it still crashes. also, problems started before i updated to 2.15, which was just about a week ago.

Re: [Fixed] Chromium segfaults with glibc 2.15?

Same problem here, chromium usually refuses to start after boot. When I try to start chromium several times it works after e.g. the eighth try. Reinstalling chromium with pacman works as well. 64bit here as well.

Is there any bugreport?

I looked and I didn't see one in Arch or Chromium project.
