Anyone have Google Chrome installed on 11.3? I have it functional but the fileupload management DOES NOT work with jpgs folders. For example, I try to upload a file to facebook, I open a folder called mypics that has jpgs, the brower crashes with a Segmantation fault.
I’ve scoured google and no luck… not even on Google Chrome’s site… is there any hope?
Yes, I have the same problem, I can’t upload pictures since about a month now. Sorry I don’t know the reason, but I suspect it’s to do with JPEG handling in the preview pane because that’s when it crashes, when a picture is selected. I also tried updating to the latest and searching in forums with no results. It may be an openSUSE thing since it doesn’t seem to affect other distros. I gave up and just switched to Firefox for this task.
i just uploaded a png to FB with Chrome 8.0.552.237

Try a JPG.
This problem comes and goes for me. When it appears, I first try Chromium, which usually works. If that fails, I fall back to firefox. I expect the problem to disappear … and probably reappear later!

well, it is a GOOD way to make Chrome go away! huh?
i wonder if it has been logged as a bug against openSUSE or Google? or
both?

I tend to suspect a mismatch between Chrome and the jpeg libraries in openSUSE. I think it would be worthwhile collecting information about situations where it happens. Maybe a pattern can be detected. Mine are:
x86_64 arch
openSUSE 11.3
google-chrome-stable-8.0.552.237
libjpeg8-8.0.1-2.1.1
libjpeg6-6.2.0-4.1.1
The way I solved this problem was to go to the Beta release. Works perfectly now.
9.0.597.19 beta
Thanks, I should have thought of that, so I installed 9.0.597.84 beta.
Unfortunately it also crashes in exactly the same way, when you click on a JPEG file to upload. So I now add that version to my combination that doesn’t work. 
Hmm, I suppose you completely un installed the other version first and removed all files in your home. Give the bleeding edge unstable version 10 something a shot. I had to do that on one of my installs, think it was 11.4.
I am running the beta on 11.3 and it uploads jpegs fine. Since I really like Chromium I had to make it work lol!

I’m using Chrome, not Chromium, and yes it does require you to uninstall the stable version first.
I think I’ll wait it out. I am willing to use beta, but dev is too risky for me as Chrome is my regular browser and I do a lot of work with it. Updating my blog I can do with Firefox.

i didn’t remove anything in /home…do you think that is the key to
success?
