That is, fully unsuable; please set back the 35 version.

hm, get that issue with many url (phoronix.com, tomshardware.fr, ...) but not with others like: planet.ubuntu.com, forexfactory.com.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Looks like the affected pages are disturbed by the adblock addon: get a notification about it, but not very usefull, as i cant reset chromium to its default (its own page is also affected).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Thiago Martins (martinx)]

Hey guys!

It is impossible to use Google Chrome, Chromium or Opera Stable, with Ubuntu 14.10 (64-bit). All the three browsers crashes 10 times per day, same problems.

I just recorded a video while it is crashing, take a look:

http://youtu.be/M0f4CjCuCvg

It might be related to this:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=381732

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=415928 -> Merged into 381732

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42110

I'm about to manually backport Linux 3.18 from Vivid, into Utopic, to see if it fixes the problem. If it doesn't, I'll try to downgrade it to Chromium 37.

Also, it doesn't matter if I'm running it within Unity, Gnome or Enlightenment DR19, it ALWAYS crashes while browsing the Web.

This problem is very annoying! It is affecting my day job in a very bad way.

Please, let me know if the problem I'm seeing is the same of #1355588, otherwise, I'll fill another bug report.

Best,
Thiago

hi martinx,

i'm now mainly using Vivid i386 & gnome-shell all the days long. So chromium 39 is the vivid package, and it still has 'sometimes' that irritating 'aie something happened' blue screen. As i can see, that happen while some image's format(s) are loaded by a page, but i can't tell which one(s). I might need to try viewing the 'crashed' page source to find some idea about the format to be blamed. (but it also can be a false positive investigation on my own)

ps: backporting from vivid might not help sadly.

[Thiago Martins (martinx)]

Hi dino99!

 You was right, upgrading my kernel do 3.18 did not helped...

 Nevertheless, I disabled the Chromium option couple days ago:

 [ ] Use hardware acceleration when available

 ...and I'm running it for about two days without a single crash! Hope it remains stable from now on...

Cheers!
Thiago

[dino99 (9d9)]

hi martinx,

thanks for pointing the 'hardware acceleration' setting: was enabled , so i've turned it off then restarted chromium. But that issue was still happening when watching a known url (tomshardware) giving that 'bluescreen of the death' a bit too often.

and i think having found what is giving that problem:
- the 'adblock' plugin is installed , so i've checked its 'filter lists' options:
- inside 'other filter lists' i've disabled 'antisocial filter list'

and then going back to a tomshardware page that was always crashing, after that option disabled, i get no more 'bluescreen' page crash.

so as i can see right now, if the 'antisocial filter list' is enabled, then that issue appear.

[dino99 (9d9)]

well there are some other troubles, like some embebded video loading then crashing before they are fully loaded

[dino99 (9d9)]

Feedback about the latest #11 setting tweak:

- continue to get that 'bluescreen' message, even with the 'social' icons enabled (chromium default)
- maybe the real reason is that the time needed to load the page (with all the embedded objects: image, advertise, ...) is too long, compared to what chromium expect.

@ Chad Miller:

Because this bug does not render the system unusable, it does not have an importance of "critical".

[dino99 (9d9)]

Way better since chromium 40 has been upgraded on Vivid : i was having the "aw, snap!!" fatal blue screen so often on "tomshardware" site, but now that does not happen since a couple weeks.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Closing that report now , as:
- utopic support has now ended
- chromium version is now more recent
- that issue has not been met recently
