Package: chromium
Version: 11.0.696.68~r84545-2
Severity: normal
Normally when I start Chromium, I get a built-in start page with
recently visited pages etc. However if I haven't run Chromium for a
while, and then start it, I usually get a blank page. After a while, I'm
told that the "New Tab" page has become unresponsive:
Page(s) Unresponsive
The following page(s) have become unresponsive.
You can wait for them to become responsive or kill
them.
New Tab
[Kill pages] [Wait]
Nothing useful is printed to the console. Only a message about the debug
file /home/<username>/tmp/mozdebug being opened, and I think that comes
from the "mozplugger" package. Removing that didn't seem to make any
difference.
Chosing to kill the tab doesn't help much. I do get a new tab, and when
I use it a page may load at least partially, but then it usually becomes
unresponsive again.
If I quit Chromium its processes remain running, presumably waiting for
something to die. However, if I terminate it forcibly (e.g. by pressing
Ctrl-C at the prompt where I launched it) and start it again, it works.
When hitting Ctrl-C the following messages are printed to the console:
Handling SIGINT.
Check failed: g_shutdown_pipe_write_fd != -1
Handling SIGINT.
Successfully wrote to shutdown pipe, resetting signal handler.
(The order of the messages may differ. I have to hit Ctrl-C a second
time for Chromium to die.)
But that's not much different from what happens if I kill a working
Chromium the same way.
My only theory, and it's just a wild guess, is that it's somehow related
to timing and/or threading. The first time, it presumably had to load
everything from disk, while the second time it was cached in memory.
This could of course affect the timing of things. This is almost - but
not quite - always enough to reproduce the bug for me:
# sync
# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
$ chromium
(This is voodoo to me; I just came across it today while looking for
ways to clear the file system cache.)
I don't think I have any old configuration that messes things up. I
almost only use Chromium when Iceweasel fails me. I tried removing my
~/.config/chromium directory, and it still happened. It seems more
likely that it's interacting badly with something else that I've
installed, but I don't know what. (I do have the flashplugin-nonfree
package installed, but that can't be uncommon.)
This is all frustratingly vague, and debugging Chromium from the source
code is beyond my abilities. But if someone could tell me how to produce
usable debug output, I'd be happy to.
Regards,
Torbjörn Andersson

* Pick most works from Ubuntu, thanks to Ubuntu developers.
- Close #634402, #627348, #575483.
- Please help triage bugs fixed but not closed.
* debian/control:
- Std-ver: 3.9.2.
- Updated homepage.
- Removed Vcs-*.
- Set Debian QA Group to Maintainer.
- Add xulrunner-dev to build-dep, since Debian does not have firefox-dev.

* debian/compat: 5 -> 7.
* debian/rules:
- Use DSO linking.
- Add build-indep and build-arch empty target, to make lintian happy.
* debian/patches/force-no-gsettings.patch: updated header.
* Merge changes from 0.9.9.2-1.1 by Mike Hommey <glandium>:
- configure.in, configure: use xpcomglue_s_nomozalloc instead of
xpcomglue_s
(Adding -DMOZ_NO_MOZALLOC to GECKO_CFLAGS is no longer needed, enabling
--enable-new-libxul will automatically do that.
Updated 0001-nomozalloc.patch)
- debian/rules: Configure with --with-xulrunner-sdk and
--enable-new-libxul.
- src/plugin.cpp no longer needs changes, upstream has done that.
(0002-Remove-call-to-empty-NPP_Initialize.patch dropped)
