Hangs loading pages

[shinyblue]

Intermittantly Chromium refuses to load a page, saying it's "Waiting for host", but basically something's up and it will never display the page. Hit refresh as much as you like, very rarely will this work. Restart the browser and it will usually work. Obviously this is not always a suitable option.

Obviously you're going to say "ah ha, maybe it IS the webserver", but I have firefox along side and it never has any trouble on the same pages at the same time.

I notice from a google search that this is a frustration with Chrome, too, on many different platforms. This morning it has happened so frequently that it has pushed me to submit this bug report because it was becomming a serious productivity issue for me.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time. Your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

It would help us a lot if you could test on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once in a terminal:

apport-collect 996467

and add any additional information that you think relevant. Alternatively, please confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the report. If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately two months time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
