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

[Jayson Gundy (gundybears)]

Occurs on 17.0.963.56 (Developer Build 121963 Linux) as well.

[noname2 (noname2-deactivatedaccount)]

seems like its fixed for archlinux https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133021&p=2

Today chromium-browser crashed again. Sometimes it occurs when I want to start chromium up for the first time after boot. Then when i start it up for the second time, it will start up normally. (Xubuntu 12.04 Beta 1)

[Hanine HAMZIOUI (hanynowsky)]

Exactly same symptom as @schiemasnski (Ubuntu 12.05 Beta 1 Updated)

[bquenin (bquenin)]

same symptoms, first start crashes, subsequent starts are ok

[Hasse Bylov (hassebylov)]

A guess could be, that Chromium crashes sometimes, when there is no internet connection. Can anyone else confirm this?

[Paulo Calvo (pcalvo56)]

I got this error *with* an internet connection.

[Aurélien RIVIERE (aurelien-riv)]

Idem, but maybe it was a missing internet connexion on another port than HTTP/HTTPS ? My ufw deny ingoing and outgoing connexions except for :

ubuntu@precise:~$ sudo ufw status verbose
Status: active
Logging: off
Default: deny (incoming), deny (outgoing)
New profiles: skip

I too got with internet connection

latest updates installed - reboot and crash on first attempt to launch chromium. second try works fine

[nick3499-ubuntu-amd64 (nick3499)]

I created a launcher in alacarte to launch Amazon Cloud Reader through synapse

chromium-browser https://read.amazon.com

chromium-browser typically loads read.amazon.com without a problem

[nick3499-ubuntu-amd64 (nick3499)]

this crash occurred after doing a
'dist-upgrade' in terminal,
then a 'reboot' from terminal.

after my system rebooted, I tried to launch 'chromium-browser',
but instead of launching, I received an error msg

[Anatol Pomozov (anatol)]

It somewhat similar to comment #17. I had a chromium browser crash when I tried to launch it during "apt dist-upgrade".
