14.2: Opera and Chromium crash on opening


This is something new; just appeared the past few days. opera-45.0.2552.898-i586-1_SBo crashes soon after opening (sometimes when a second tab is opened) and chromium-61.0.3163.100-i586-1alien flickers and closes when invoked. Firefox-52.4.0esr works fine.

I've looked for crash reports unsuccessfully; Opera's are in a DMDP format that is apparently MS-specific; I cannot find any for chromium. A week or so ago both worked fine, as they've done before.

My web searches find nothing pertinent to my situation. I would like suggestions on diagnosing the reasons these two browsers fail to open and work.

\This e-mail message came from all1god@mail.com:

Please add more info into post: any error msgs, stacktrace, ...
Maybe strace -f -o afile or something like adb
Or even your search keywords
Would help others help you.

No reply; I don't use/know GUIs.
-----
I've not found error messages looking in /tmp, /var/log/, and ~/.config/chromium/Crash Reports/.

I tried to capture strace output to a file using both 'strace /usr/bin/chromium &> chromium-error.txt' and 'tee | /usr/bin/chromium > chromium-error.txt' but there was nothing in the file in both cases.

I'm not an expert at running strace so guidance on correctly getting output to a file I can send here will be helpful.

I was asked by e-mail to post the output from strace. I have the output xz compressed but it's too large to attach. Both qt4 and qt5 are installed and libtermcap.so.2 is found in /usr/lib/, not /usr/lib/qt/.

My ISP has had serious, unexplained problems since last Friday afternoon. While I run my own smtpd here, the telco forces my outbound messages to be relayed through them. They're not correctly authenticating them so nothing is going out but I continue to receive messages. It's a real mess for all of us customers.

Hope this helps.

Hi!!! I find a lot from this web-search: ( | does OR )
linux debug chromium|opera|gdb|program crash

You can use tail [-##] to look for a few relevant strace-fo lines, just before pgm exit

ulimit -c unlimited should enable a coredump; gdb to get top couple of stack fcn names (Idk gdb)

Sorry, I don't have expertieze here; others will likely have better answers. Minor fyi:
Replying to your #1post, instead of editing to append updates, knocks it off ZRT visibility. You can edit #2 to remove mail address.

Best wishes!!! I think I've seen problems like this before, so hopefully other LQers who know more will chime-in.
