Chromium crash

jdarnold · 2010-02-19 18:44:00

Just when I got used to the "tear off tab" feature of chromium, it starts to crash on me now. If I "tear off" a tab in chromium, I get the following crash:

$ chromium-browser
The program 'chrome' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 29869 error_code 3 request_code 140 minor_code 6)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I was using the 'chromium' package from extra (v4), and I just tried chromium-browser-bin package from AUR (v5) and both do the same thing Anyone else see this? It's pretty recent, maybe since the xorg upgrade yesterday?

I can confirm this bug and it seems not related to chromium itself as I am pretty sure that the same version worked nice before. I guess it's a bug in xorg, gtk or similar which were updated recently.

Exakt same behaviour here. I haven't investigated the issue though.

Or you can try the google-chrome-beta package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27031

Could this be the reason or have anything to do for watching every gif image as static-non moving ones?
Using chrome in arch 64, btw...
Thanks!

I could confirm this with firefox, too. Open two separate firefox windows. Now drag one tab from one window to the other: bam!

I have no such problem with Firefox/Namoroka.

n0dix · 2010-02-20 05:32:49

it seems a bug, do a bug report.

OK, uninstalling and reinstalling chromium did the trick for me (At least with my gif problems)..,........ weird....

The damn problem with the dialog when uploading an image file making chromium crash is still there, though.......

Don't think it's a bug in gtk, as i'm using KDE 4.4 and getting the same behaviour in chromium...

Glad i'm not the only one having problems, I thought i was mental when i thought it worked and then chrome crashed tearing a tab off.

I've tried chromium on extra, as well as google-chrome-beta/dev on AUR and they all gave the same response sadly.

My only (fairly uneducated) guess is that this is a problem with Xorg since i ran -Syu a day or to ago and xorg was one of the four or so updates, the rest appeared to be fairly trivial packages. This would suggest either a problem in Xorg or an assumption made somewhere in the use of X that shouldn't have been done. I may downgrade when i have more time to confirm that this is the case.

Edit, i have reported the bug here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issue … l?id=36365

Mine google chrome crashes alot when selecting jpg's in the upload dialog.

jdarnold · 2010-07-13 12:57:23

That's a problem I have in a few different places. A workaround is to not click on the name but rather type it in.

trusktr · 2010-07-14 01:04:11

Very true. I've noticed that as well. But sometimes, the upload dialog will also crash if you double click on a folder to open it if it contains jpegs.

I've only had this problem in Chrome, not anywhere else though. I sucks because sometimes I'll have to open firefox just to upload a file and i got all of my tabs already open in chrome.

I confirm this....The workaround doesn't help as not always you can type in the dialog

Well I've posted the bug on the chromium google code site so hopefully they fix it. I've found a number of reports on the same thing from various people there too.

It's not really an Arch related problem.

Using KDE does not make Chromium a Qt application, it's still written using Gtk...

it's a libjpeg problem. One thing i know for certain: Chromium doesn't have this bug. Use chromium instead of chrome.
The Arch devs seem to keep the Arch chromium package at the same version as chrome so it's practically the same minus all the tracking features.
