Hibernation broke google-chrome?

Hello,

while studying, I fell asleep and my Opensuse 13.2 64 bit KDE laptop ran out of battery. It is set to hibernate when low on battery. I plugged my laptop in and turned on the computer.

Google-chrome used to work, not it’s not. Any idea on how I should approach to fix this?

SJL@Gyro:~> google-chrome
Check failed: NamespaceUtils::WriteToIdMapFile("/proc/self/gid_map", gid_)

According to my process monitor, ALL instances of google-chrome is going into sleep.

How do I change this?

Re-installation of google-chrome-stable didn’t do anything… I need this computer operational within 24hours.

Phew! Kernel upgrade solves everything.

Running Kernel 4.14 now, but would someone explain how/why this happened?

google-chrome worked very well until it went into a coma.

There are more web browsers out there than Google Chrome.

Google Chrome was not disabled by hibernation.

The issue was a kernel upgrade.

Start Google Chrome with the following command:
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U --disable-namespace-sandbox

Thank you,

Firefox, and Opera are both incompatible with some of the websites I need to access.

I actually when through quite a bit of research until kernel upgrade. The command code/option for google chrome actually did not work for me. Output was the exact same error line I’ve stated above.

Just to be clear:

  1. I fall asleep.
  2. Computer hibernates
  3. Google Chrome went into a coma
  4. No action I’ve done brought chrome out of coma.
  5. I did a kernel upgrade
  6. google-chrome came back to life.

Kernel upgrade solved the issue. Hibernation sent chrome into coma.

You either have automatic updates on or you did an update before you slept. The wake up started the new kernel which broke chrome

That makes sense, I think I like the newest kernel anyways, much faster and no problem just yet.
