Just tested this with the kernel from vivid (3.18rc2): http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.18-rc2-vivid/
On my system the bug is no longer present in that kernel, i.e. Chrome 38+ doesn't segfault when opening chrome webshop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371834 Title: Chrome causes segfault in i965_dri.so Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in “mesa” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Debian GNU/Linux: New Bug description: Running chrome 38.0.2125.66-1 on Ubuntu 14.10, on Lenovo X230 When I start a new instance of chrome, it cannot enable WebGL. I have reported that bug separately to chrome at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=416207 I suspect the cause of the bug is in mesa, as dmesg contains evidence of a segfault: [31979.398090] chrome[24013]: segfault at 20 ip 00007fbbd5ca5d83 sp 00007fffd7669ab0 error 4 in i965_dri.so[7fbbd59c4000+50a000] [31979.585606] chrome[24104]: segfault at 20 ip 00007f7550c26d83 sp 00007fff970b4630 error 4 in i965_dri.so[7f7550945000+50a000] [31979.737378] chrome[24117]: segfault at 20 ip 00007ffd06e45d83 sp 00007fffc989f440 error 4 in i965_dri.so[7ffd06b64000+50a000] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.10 Package: libgl1-mesa-dri 10.2.6-1ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-16.22-generic 3.16.2 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.7-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Sat Sep 20 11:17:41 2014 DistUpgraded: 2014-09-02 14:59:08,481 DEBUG failed to SystemUnLock() (E:Not locked) DistroCodename: utopic DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, including running git bisection searches GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:21fa] MachineType: LENOVO 23301B9 ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.16.0-16-generic root=/dev/mapper/hostname--vg-root ro splash quiet crashkernel=384M-:128M crashkernel=384M-:128M nomdmonddf nomdmonisw crashkernel=384M-:128M vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: mesa UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to utopic on 2014-09-02 (17 days ago) dmi.bios.date: 07/09/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: G2ET95WW (2.55 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 23301B9 dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: 0B98401 Pro dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrG2ET95WW(2.55):bd07/09/2013:svnLENOVO:pn23301B9:pvrThinkPadX230:rvnLENOVO:rn23301B9:rvr0B98401Pro:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 23301B9 dmi.product.version: ThinkPad X230 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz N/A version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.56-1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 10.2.6-1ubuntu3 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 10.2.6-1ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.16.0-1ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.9.0-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.4.0-2ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.914-1~exp1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.11-1ubuntu2 xserver.bootTime: Fri Sep 19 15:45:16 2014 xserver.configfile: default xserver.errors: xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.outputs: product id 4204 vendor AUO xserver.version: 2:1.16.0-1ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1371834/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
