Chromium/Chrome: broken packages !! Do not update.

**Knurpht** · 18-Aug-2011, 07:20

Chromium users who haven't performed an update yet may consider locking chromium BEFORE updating the packages from the Contrib repo!

Code:

su -c 'zypper al chromium libv8-3'

so it won't be updated to version 15.0.854.0-2.1 (which doesn't work).

That would be good. I'll watch it, test it if available, remove the post......

Not quite. It is building in OBS but the package is not available in the repo yet. It might still take a while.

New version is available. And it seems to be working fine

edit:
unfortunately it's not working fine. I'm observing massive CPU usage, 100% on one or even two cores, and it works VERY slow

Everything was working smoothly before update.

hi guys; no, it is not working. it starts... and it is all what it is doing. hangs on every page, even 'setup'. installed from scratch, deleted local chromium config directory - the same.

Do you have adblock plus installed?
It causes this strange CPU usage and slowdown on my machine.
Try disabling any third party plugins.

Without Adblock it works normally. With ugly ads though :/. I need to wait for Adblock update.

Agree it is slower than I remember the last version was but not by much on my low spec machine. Perhaps those with higher spec machines notice a bigger difference.
