Public bug reported: This is a simple one. It relates to these upstream bug reports (dupes):
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=357473 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=371355 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 sounds fine if it's a developer running the browser, but end users shouldn't have their browser crash because of an arbitrary FATAL log message. The Ubuntu package should remove the LOG(FATAL) entirely so that the Chromium builds will work like the Chrome builds do, and not crash. The exact file/line/code is mentioned in the second bug report above. ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1333477 Title: Fatal debug logging causes unnecessary crashes Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is a simple one.
