Chrome browser not loading

I am going to take a wild guess. For me, when I used to run TW, it was very common for the “GPUCache” sub-dir tree for “chrome-based” browsers to become corrupted.

Just do a search out here for “chrome GPUCache” and you’ll see quite a few posts.

Anyway, you have to delete the GPUCache content and it will be recreated when Chrome is restarted. It will not hurt to delete it. (it’s simply a cache system).

For each affected app, we delete the associated GPUCache content. There are even apps not chrome-related that have the GPUCache sub-dir … you can find them with - do the search in your base HOME sub-dir (no need to be root) as your user:

:> find ~/ -type d -name GPUCache

I would delete them all with:

:>  find ~/ -type d -name GPUCache -exec rm -rf {} +

But if you’re more comfortable doing it manually, simply navigate to the sub-dir (s) found from the first command shown, then manually delete them. Be sure the browser is not running.

Since switching to Leap, I’ve never had the issue - with TW, it was quite often an issue after a ‘zypper dup’.
