  • [gentoo-user] Another day without clues.

    From Alan Grimes@21:1/5 to All on Mon Apr 24 20:40:01 2023
    Still no clues as to why chromium can't display about:blank from an
    empty user config folder without spewing hundreds of errors a second.

    How are you starting chromium?

    Have you tried starting it from a command line to see if it prints any usefull error messages?

    I always start it from the console with the command "chromium". I have
    never used it any other way.

    Just updated my kernel to 6.2.12

    Dmesg output has:

    Unfortunately since any number of libraries may have been loaded into
    chromium during program load, I cannot narrow it down to a specific
    executable image. =\

    Googling that error message produces several threads that suggest
    removing ~/.config/google-chrome to see if that helps. Or just create
    a new user and see if it fails similarly for that user.

    Others report similar problems cause by incompatible versions of the
    icu library or by particular behaviors of systemd-resolved.

    Does google-chrome have similar problems?
