(SOLVED) Has the latest update of Chromium done something?

[arochester]

Chromium has slowed to a snail's pace.

I spent a while checking out my wifi connection. Maybe there is some conflict with my extensions?

Then installed Firefox. Runs fine and at the speed I would expect.

Has anyone else experienced this - or is it just me?

Kinda sad to say but I gave up on chromium; Goddess bless the maintainer(s) but what I've been getting from Unstable repos has to be fixed more often than not. I finally gave up on it and switched to Firefox for more than a year and went back to Chrome.

Although I'm fairly privacy-conscious, in this application I don't think I'm that important or even that interesting

[soaringowl2145]

According to the bug report it is shown to have been fixed. How long does it typically take for the completed result take to show up in the repo? Is it an automated process or a manual upload?

I had the same problem and it drove me completely NUTS. Was suspecting that I have gotten some nasty virus or that someone is mining coins on my computer.
Purged and reinstalled Chromium, and even created a completely new user and tried chromium on that. Didn't work. Finally changed to Firefox, which worked well the whole time.

But today I got a new update to the chromium -package and everything works perfectly again

I am using Debian Buster

It is now have been fixed. According debian-security-announce

The previous update for chromium released as DSA 4714-1 was mistakenly built without compiler optimizations. This caused high CPU load and frequent crashes. Updated chromium packages are now available that correct this issue. For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 83.0.4103.116-1~deb10u2.

The CPU is back to normal but still crashes just as frequently. What is the proper way to report?

[arochester]

The CPU is back to normal but still crashes

Yes, I installed the update and it's back to speed, but Chromium still seems to suddenly disappear irregularly...

I have temporarily installed Chrome to use the same extensions, bookmarks etc. and it doesn't seem to have that problems.

My chromium is back in working order, and doesn't crash. Maybe I am lucky?

i gave up on chromium! about time i guess. I went ba ck regrettingly to firefox. just way too slow for me. There is not anything else out there that is really not chrome related as such. maybe have to expect a turtle-like firefox and live with it.

Well, Pale Moon and Seamonkey have their proponents, along with Slimjet and Vivaldi, but none of those are in the Debian repo. There are deb packages for all of those, though. Again--ungoogled-chromium also seems to be crash-free.

. . . Pale Moon and Seamonkey have their proponents, along with Slimjet and Vivaldi, but none of those are in the Debian repo.

I have the first three running as app images along with Icecat and Tor.

This issue is marked SOLVED, but it is not.

The latest update fixed the Chromium crash issue on my mid-2011 iMac, but my 2017 HP Envy 15 is still suffering from Chromium crashes.

I am looking at these two bug reports:

Are you sure about that Pale Moon AppImage? Moonchild, the main PM guy, is of the opinion that the Mozilla license actually prohibits the distribution of binaries in things like appimages and snaps, and I was not aware of any for PM (being the guy that runs the approved repo for Debian and Ubuntu PM packages on the OBS, where they are built from source the old-timey way.) If that's true, let me know so I can let the PM guys know.

It is possible that this error has now been fixed. According Debian Security Advisory DSA-4714-3

The previous update for chromium released as DSA 4714-2 contained a flaw in the service worker implementation. This problem causes the browser to crash when a connection error occurs. Updated chromium packages are now available that correct this issue. For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 83.0.4103.116-1~deb10u3.

i reinstalled it yesterday on 2 thinkpads and they both crashed so i removed chromium again. Kind of fed up with it - just faster than firefox on all machines. So still running firefox yet. FWIW.

[stevepusser]

Well, the new update in Sid says:

chromium (83.0.4103.116-3) unstable; urgency=high

* Fix crashes when a connection error occurs (closes: #963548).
- Thank you so much to Riku Voipio.

So I'll be backporting that for MX tonight to see how it works.

Apparently the non-vaapi version is already in buster security as -deb10u3, so maybe that'll fix it for you guys.

[Bulkley]

Are you sure about that Pale Moon AppImage?

Maybe they call it something else but I call it an appimage. I execute it with

Code: Select all

~/Downloads/palemoon/./palemoon

The ~/Downloads/palemoon/ directory looks similar to all the other appimages I have.
