For the past 2 days I’m observing issues when using the Directions feature in Google maps (which I do often).
This happens almost 80% of the time I try:
In maps.google.com, enter the From and To places and hit get directions
The tab/page goes blank
Hitting F5 or refresh button does not reload the page - the same blank page stays.
If I go to another URL and come back to maps.google.com, the maps work - but yes I need to re-enter the places and everything.
There have been updates delievered almost twice or thrice a week for this. I checked out the /var/log/zypper/history and found out that the following version updates happened:
2011-09-06 - Upgraded to chromium 15.0.870.0-3.1
2011-09-29 - Upgraded to chromium 16.0.891.0-62.1
2011-10-03 - Upgraded to chromium 16.0.898.0-63.1
2011-10-04 - Upgraded to chromium |16.0.898.0-63.2
I know for sure I updated on 2011-10-04 from -63.1 to -63.2 after seeing this problem and it didn’t help.
I’m trying to download the older versions 16.0.891.0-62.1 preferably or may be 15.0.870.0-3.1 if not. I’m unable to find the RPM packages of any of these around
Would someone know if there is any means to get these older version packages ?
Could someone confirm if they see the same problem in their version of chromium as well ?
I’m using the x86_64 arch build if that makes any difference.
But, I’m curious about your version enumeration, I don’t see anything remotely it on an 11.3 (and I doubt should be that different).
Assuming that “latest” version should be the same on both 11.3 and 11.4, if you run “zypper info chromium” you should return the same as mine
# zypper info chromium

If you don’t return the same, I’d recommend you uninstall your existing chromium, then install using zypper
# zypper install chromium
A shot in the dark, try updating your entire system,
It seems you’ve installed chromium from the openSUSE:Factory:contrib obs repo but myself from the network:chromium repo.
If I search on software.opensuse.org for chromium I’m able to get the search result for the package you mention, but if I try to download - it gives an object not found error.
So I’m guessing the version of chromium you have might be older, you should try switching to the network:chromium repo and see if you experience this problem.
