This appears to be related to this upstream bug report: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=357473
Basically, the Chromium devs put a LOG(FATAL) in unofficial builds. So Chrome works fine, but not Chromium. The browser isn't actually crashing on its own, instead the LOG(FATAL) is killing the browser in order to get the attention of the user so they'll file a bug report. This is not related to KDE, KWallet, multiple tabs, or even starting up. It has to do with sending secure referrers to insecure hosts, which one of your tabs must have been doing. Going to any HTTPS page, right clicking a link and choosing "Save link as..." will cause this "crash". ** Bug watch added: code.google.com/p/chromium/issues #357473 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=357473 -- 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/1310163 Title: chromium-browser with multiple tabs crashes on startup in KDE environment Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: first output is with kwallet disabled. second output is after re-enabling kwallet ruce@Pericles:~$ ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
