The first crash happened while I tried to log in while KDE showed the “I’m starting icons” It was about to display the last icon (the desktop?) → black screen → login dialog.

When I tried again, I got to see the desktop. Then it crashed when I started Chromium.

The important part is probably this:

I tried to downgrade X to the previous release 7.6_1.12.3-1.2.3 (Mi 25 Jul 2012 21:43:19 CEST) but that didn’t help.

I deleted Nepomuk because I saw segfaults in /var/log/messages but that didn’t help, either.

I’m posting this now before I do the next experiment so I don’t lose it.

I have now downgraded chromium to 22.0.1226.0-1.9.1

I noticed something odd: I have chromium-ffmpeg installed but there is no version for 23.0. Maybe this causes the problem?

Starting chromium …

digulla · September 22, 2012, 1:19pm

Still crashes but later. I could open a few tabs.

Uninstalling chromium-ffmpeg doesn’t help, either.

Ideas, anyone?

Hope I’m not hijacking your thread but I’m having similar problems. I updated to 12.2 and KDE 4.9 but don’t remember the date of the last update. Several times, as I try to go to various web pages in Chrome (not THOSE web pages) I get an instant reboot. This last time, I was trying to reach a page for the new tv show Revolution. I can’t get a reboot so fast the normal way! I never thought to look to see if it was an xorg crash. Didn’t try Firefox yet, but I will. Also, will check to see if it was the same as your crash.

The Revolution site works in both Firefox and Konqueror, although there is a horrible lag in either one. The video is a good 2 seconds behind the audio. When I had only 1 tab open in Chrome and went to this site, it began to load and then rebooted me. It was too fast to see what element it was trying to load.

Aah finally someone with the same problem
Here is my description: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/tumbleweed/478786-opera-chromium-kwin-effects-crash-x.html

There are a lot of similitaries, that must be the same problem…
When I’m back home I’ll check the history log of zypper for other packets that we have updated besides xorg-x11-Xvnc and xorg-x11-server

side note:
I’ve installed chromium after the crash because I needed an “alternative” browser…

Found it: The installation overwrites the file /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so (installed by the NVIDIA installer) with the version from Xorg.

Reinstalling the NVIDIA driver again fixed the problem for me.

Works like a charm

Thanks a lot
