[ignored] google-chrome buggered. [Bad memory]

[wuxmedia]

Anyone else's Chrome proper buggered, loads up, but just bails out at every page/plugin whatever.

using 'google-chrome-stable' doesn't make a difference.

Code: Select all

wux@numenor:~$ google-chrome
[7715:7715:0617/111022:ERROR:gl_surface_glx.cc(342)] glxQueryVersion failed
[7715:7715:0617/111022:ERROR:gl_surface_x11.cc(56)] GLSurfaceGLX::InitializeOneOff failed.
[7715:7715:0617/111022:ERROR:gpu_child_thread.cc(163)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization

Actually - quite enjoying dillo :)

[wuxmedia]

well, fell back to chromium... which works, got cut with the bleeding edge I guess.

[machinebacon]

Maybe install libgl1-mesa-dri for kicks.

[wuxmedia]

thanks Bacon, same error. can't really remember why chrome > chromium... something about flash, but that's rare enough these days.

[machinebacon]

Is libegl1-mesa installed? What's the gfx card you use? ;) It is apparently a problem with the accelerator

libgl1-mesa-glx is fixed in siduction, maybe get it from there?

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx=10.7.0~devel-1.siduction.1 libgl1-mesa-dri=10.7.0~devel-1.siduction.1 libglapi-mesa=10.7.0~devel-1.siduction.1

just an idea, I don't take responsibility for borkage.

[ivanovnegro]

No problems here with the recent Chrome Stable. What happens if you disable hardware acceleration?

[wuxmedia]

thanks guys, none of those worked.
Chromium it is then!

[machinebacon]

just for the stats: same error message with the installed packages?

[wuxmedia]

well, it actually failed to install them;

Code: Select all

wux@numenor:~$ sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx=10.7.0~devel-1.siduction.1 libgl1-mesa-dri=10.7.0~devel-1.siduction.1 libglapi-mesa=10.7.0~devel-1.siduction.1

wux@numenor:~$ 

tried taking the .1 off, but didn't work.
Couldn't even get to the flags or anything page, it loads, then goes straight to the 'oh snap' page, all the plugins complain. can only quit out of it.

[ivanovnegro]

Those packages I have only in sid. I do not see anything with policy in Siduction.

[machinebacon]

wux, sources.list has siduction's 'extras' repos enabled? ;)

[machinebacon]

wrt crashing at start:

http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-co ... -switches/

Try a switch instead ;)

[wuxmedia]

wux, sources.list has siduction's 'extras' repos enabled? ;)

looks like it:

Code: Select all

wux@numenor:~$ rgrep siduction/extra /etc/apt/
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/siduction.list:deb http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/siduction/extra unstable main contrib non-free
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/siduction.list:#deb-src http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/siduction/extra unstable main contrib non-free
wux@numenor:~$ 

That's a damn interesting list of switches. None of them (Gpu related) did anything.
chromium is working great, so thanks for looking.

[machinebacon]

^ sorry wux, they are in experimental/extras

deb http://packages.siduction.org/extra experimental main contrib non-free

Just want to know why it works for me and not for you :) I have an Intel card. Of course for nvidia or ATI there are special drivers for GLX (just do a "search glx" in terminal)

[wuxmedia]

have intel:

Code: Select all

wux@numenor:~$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

just upd and will try those drivers

[wuxmedia]

Turns out it was a bad stick of RAM (found some extra sticks)
at least I'm posting from chrome now with one removed...
For posterity eh?

[elixir]

^ That makes sense to me. Chrome is always reliable for using a lot of memory. But they develop for the newer computers these days which can handle it.

[wuxmedia]

oddly to me chromium wasn't so bad.
and came up with GPU errors.
anyway compromised and running with a 0.5 G more... should keep it out of the swap :)
