Google Chrome Not Loading Pages Sporadically
I've been considering switching to Google Chrome from Firefox just to try something different for a while. I've installed Google Chrome using the SlackBuild script from SBo, along with the required dependencies.
About half the time when I run 'google-chrome', it won't load any pages. I usually have to kill the process, sometimes even with a 'kill -9'. When I run 'google-chrome' from a terminal, I get the following: Code:
/proc/self/exe: /usr/lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe) |
Did you install to a non-standard location (standard would be /opt/google/chrome)? I ask because I get the same errors, which seem to be harmless since I've been getting it on every version of chrome available for a few months with no ill effects, but mine are of the form:

It's installed to the standard location - /opt/google/chrome. I think the libz message is harmless too, but the not loading of pages without anything else displayed is weird.
|
Your error is coming from /proc/self/exe rather than /usr/bin/google-chrome or /opt/google/chrome. That's what I find strange.
|
I also get that message. Usually if you get the 'aw snap' page when a page doesn't load it seems to be a problem with the tmpfs that it uses. Might be an idea to check 'mount'.
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) |
I'm not sure why the /proc/self/exe was showing up before. Now I get what seems "correct":
Code:
/usr/bin/google-chrome: /usr/lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/google-chrome) Code:
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) |
The weird location in the error would probably cause me to reinstall it after first uninstalling and removing all references to google. I've had some silliness with some chrome versions since the slackbuild is based on the unstable testing builds. They change almost daily. What version does "about google chrome" say you are running?

I've tried doing a number of uninstalls and reinstalls to see if a newer release would fix this with no luck. This also happens with the 4.0 beta series versions. |
That's the same version I have. Did you remove all the references to it before installing it again? There are a lot of files associated with Chrome that don't get removed when you removepkg. I've had to do this to get everything working after a goofy upgrade. Anyway, I'll shut up now as I have no real help to offer. :)

I'm going to mark this thread as solved since I *think* (not completely sure) I solved this issue. My hunch is that the geck-mediaplayer plugins that I have installed in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins (which chrome automatically scans and loads) were causing the problems. I disabled those in chrome under about:plugins.

For ubuntu users, just type: sudo apt-get --purge remove gecko-mediaplayer and everything will work again in chrome. |
Apparently since I marked this as solved, the behavior is not 100% fixed. Disabling the media plugins helps, but it does not fix the problem entirely.

chrome not loading facebook
I wasn't able to load facebook all day yesterday and this morning. Then after reading a bunch of forums about it and not understanding anything i deleted/emptied the cache (cookies and temporary internet files) and it fixed the problem immediately.

For me personally google-chrome has gone to hell in a handbasket over the last month. I don't have pages that won't load, but about 50% take FOREVER to load. When I say forever I mean a few seconds, but even konqueror doesn't do that. I'm trying to make myself like konqueror, but I'm using firefox a lot as well.
