Chrome crashing after last pacman update

Hey all!

Just ran a pacman update this morning and 'lo and behold - after a reboot, all chrome-stable plugins start with the "awww snap!" and crash. So I started it from the terminal and saw the following several times:

../../sandbox/linux/seccomp-bpf-helpers/sigsys_handlers.cc:**CRASHING**:seccomp-bpf failure in syscall 0281

dmesg also listed some hundreds of these:

[  196.278463] Chrome_ChildIOT[1969]: segfault at e119 ip 000055e16a01c553 sp 00007fa04ec78390 error 6 in chrome[55e167b4b000+5bb2000]

Chrome works if I start it with

google-chrome-stable --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox

it works. Everything I find related to this issue has been fixed long ago, but maybe someone else can help me fixing this? Would greatly appreciate it!

- Nadya

Re: Chrome crashing after last pacman update

I don't know, but chromium-vaapi does not work with latest mesa update.
Maybe it's a similar problem and you can resolve downgrading mesa.

Re: Chrome crashing after last pacman update

I am getting the same error after "pacman -Syu" this morning while running a different app (jetbrains-toolbox from AUR) which I guess uses an embedded qtwebengine for something.

First it errors/warns with:

[0911/121308:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(311)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale

and then the stack trace:

repeated multiple times over and over again.

This doesn't seem like a problem with jetbrains-toolbox since it didn't even get updated today and the errors are all about qtwebengine.
glibc on the other hand was updated today and according to some quick googling I did, some glibc incompatibilities have caused similar errors in the past.

I think I should add that Chrome works flawlessly (google-chrome from AUR, not chromium from extra).

Re: Chrome crashing after last pacman update

I got the same error when trying to run jetbrains-toolbox as well.

It looks like the problem is in the latest version of glibc.

I was able to get toolbox working again after downgrading glibc back to version 2.25-7.  In order to downgrade glibc, I also had to downgrade binutils back to version 2.28.0-4.

I did this by running the following commands from /var/cache/pacman/pkg:

pacman -U binutils-2.28.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
pacman -U glibc-2.25-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Re: Chrome crashing after last pacman update

Thanks for the workaround sccraven.

Is that an Arch problem tho or something wrong with glibc? This is the only relevant topic I found on this issue, which suggests the Arch package is broken.

Re: Chrome crashing after last pacman update

I don't know.

I'm not sure if / how much the maintainers of the Arch package change from the upstream source.
I would think that it's not changed any except for whatever needs to be added for pacman to install it, but that's just a guess.

Re: Chrome crashing after last pacman update

Maybe simply rebuilding QT5 against new glibc should do the trick?

Re: Chrome crashing after last pacman update

I am rebuliding qt5-webengine against new glibc. If it doesn't work, I will rebuild whole QT5.

Re: Chrome crashing after last pacman update

Why do you think that will help? Chrome doesn't use Qt5 so don't waste your time with rebuilding qt5

Ah just saw the qt5-webengine thing. But again, jetbrains uses its own bundled library, rebuilding your correctly working system libraries will not fix the issue

And this is pretty much a thread hijack, in order to not confuse people you should open new threads for seperate issues, which your issue clearly is.

Re: Chrome crashing after last pacman update

V1del, thanks for your response.

You are partially right. This is the same issue (problems with sandboxing), but jetbrains-toolbox indeed uses it's own version of Qt5 WebEngine, so there is no need to recompile Qt5 for me.

Thanks for all your help. I will open another thread with problems with jetbrains-toolbox and post the solution there.
