Problem after Chromium 38 update

After updating chromium-37.0.2062.120-2 to the current chromium-38.0.2125.101-1 every page I open in chromium is blank, including the chrome:// pages.

Rolling back to chromium-37.0.2062.120-2 resolves the issue, while causing a problem with my browser profile being from a newer version, fixed by restoring a recent backup of ~/.cache/chromium (profile sync daemon users stop psd.service first)

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem (the blank page one) before I start hunting for the cause.

I don't normally use Chromium, but I just checked with 38.0.2125.101-1 and it works fine for me. Sorry!

Re: Problem after Chromium 38 update

Do you have any non-standard settings enabled in the flags section of Chromium? (i.e. about:flags)

Re: Problem after Chromium 38 update

Thanks Pse. I had "Override software rendering" list enabled, previously needed to make youtube etc playable.
Disabled and updated, everything back to normal.
