Im on a fresh install of 12.04 and the chromium-browser frm the repo (Version 20.0.1132.47 Ubuntu 12.04 (144678))
I'm having this same behavior. Click icon... pulsation then nothing, usually the second attempt works but never the first. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/950415 Title: Chromium Browser takes several attempts to start from launcher Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch) Release: 12.04 Chromium version: 17.0.963.66~r124982-0ubuntu1 Expected behaviour: I click on the chromium browser launcher icon, the icon pulsates and chromium browser starts up shortly afterwards. What happens instead: I click on the chromium browser launcher icon, the icon pulsates but chromium browser does not start. I click on the launcher icon a second time (after waiting for the icon to stop pulsating) and chromium browser still does not start. I click on the launcher icon a third time and chromium browser starts up shortly afterwards. Additional information: Chromium occasionally starts up first time but this happens maybe 1 in 8-10 attempts. If chromium fails to launch with the first attempt, it sometimes starts up the second time but usually it takes a third attempt. It never takes more than three attempts before finally starting. If I try starting from a terminal, chromium usually starts normally but will occasionally fail to start, with "Segmentation fault" the only output. This happens in both Unity and Unity 2D. This problem also occurs if using chromium browser from the chromium-daily PPA. The same versions of chromium browser launch normally in Kubuntu/KDE, not tested in other environments.
