Whenever I try to access “gmail” with “chromium”, I am getting a page crash message.
This may be related to the chromium update today.
Is anyone else seeing this?
The specific error code can be critical to understanding cause of error.
TSU
In 12.3 or 13.1 (looking at your sig)? No problems here in 12.3 with KDE 4.10.5.
The page comes up with “Aw Snap” and a graphic. A “more information” button tells me that the page crashed and I should make sure that I am not blocking cookies (I am not).
When I get back home, I’ll try again and see if there are other error indicators.
My workaround is to use a different browser for that page.
That was with 12.3. This was my first attempt to access gmail after the chromium security update. Before then, it had been working fine.
My first time after the update, I got taken to that page that says something like “one password, all of google.” But not since then.
Today found when try open chromium [openSUSE 12.3 (Dartmouth) (x86_64) using GNOME] that chromium not starting.
.
Same here
I reported it in the ML
Is working for me.
Chromium
30.0.1599.66 (225456)
I usually see that “Aw Snap” when the network connection isn’t working, in other words it’s not a Server problem.
TSU
Yes, the same version here.
It isn’t a network problem. Firefox does not have a problem accessing the page.
Try terminal :
paulparker@linux-jcdp:~> chromium

That looks okay:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 18632 Oct 7 05:25 /usr/lib64/chromium/chrome-sandbox
Permissions look good.
“chromium” starts fine at the terminal. But it still gives “Aw Snap” on the gmail page.
The “Aw Snap” may be intended to indicate loading errors, often find just Re-Loading makes it disappear .
Is it only gmail site failing, other sites OK ?
Read for some replacing ‘chromium-ffmpeg’ with ‘chromium-ffmpegsumo’ and adding ‘chromium-pepper-flash’ fixed it for them.
My currently installed parts…

Just realized there has been one change since earlier, no longer showing is the extra Warning-title-bar saying “–no-sandbox”
This earlier provided believe as a quick fix for the same problem…
Also were concerns (earlier) that when you turn off the sandbox your system may be compromised…
Reloading doesn’t help.
I also had a crash on “http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/795897047/gods-big-bang”, but only when I started the video. Other pages that I have tried have all been okay. I was mainly using chromium for google sites, and firefox for general browsing (to interfere with tracking).
Yes, it might be flash related, though I don’t recall that there are flash applets on the gmail page. Or, at least, the page works on firefox with flashblock.

Okay, thanks for experimenting. I’ll give that a try.
I was under the impression that “chromium-ffmpegsumo” was an inferior version of “chromium-ffmpeg” to be used only if you are avoiding the packman repos. In particulary, I think it does not provide the full multi-media support. Perhaps somebody forgot to rebuild chromium-ffmpeg at packman after updating chromium in the main opensuse repos.
