 |
|
| It either hangs up on startup or leaves running processes after quitting (or both). Anyone else noticed that? |

| Yep, it seems to leave a process around sucking up 100% CPU and then complains about being unable to access the profile when I open a new window. Haven't had it happen as often in v19.* though. |

| It leaves behind lots of dead threads and once in a while a zombie thread. When this happens chromium blockes completely (unable to access profile) until I SIGKILL them all. This is bugging me for quite some time now (around chromium-15ish)... one would think that google got around to fix this by now. |

Same + after a few hours of browsing consumes all available RAM (8G) 
chromium-20*

Same here.
Seems that some folks have subtly different issues (I don't have Kollin's RAM issue for instance; neither do I experience a high CPU load like Ant.P). Maybe we should cross check to make sure we are all facing the same problem.
I experience this:
1. crashes while loading a site (usually after having just started chromium). Then I close chrome (no other way to load that site, it will keep crashing).
2. tells me it can't load my profile
3. "ps ux | grep chrome" tells me chormium didn' quit at all, left at least one zombie and a bunch of other sleeping processes
The I usuallyI SIGKILL all other chromium processes ( kill -9 `ps aux | awk '$11 ~ /.*chrome.*/ {print $2}'`) (somehow killall doesn't cut it here).
Then I have peace for some random time period before it returns. Strangely I only have that problem here on gentoo. At work (Ubuntu 12.04) I don't experience this.
cheers

Yeah, I had this problem show up the last few days. First thing I discovered is that there is some strange option in Chromium's preferences to 'Continue running background apps when Chromium is closed'. I turned that off, and the orphaned processes disappeared for me. I have no idea what the purpose of that 'feature' is.
Now, I've noticed another weird problem with kernel 3.3.5 and chromium...it stalls loading pages (they always hang and I get the kill or wait dialog). Disappears when I go back to kernel 3.3.4...
Sometimes these multiple breakages really throw you. |

I don't experience 1 & 2 instead when chromium consumes all available RAM it starts furious swapping and my system becomes very unresponsive!
3 is the same: A lot of orphaned processes and zombies

Yeah, I take it back...it didn't work for me either. When I first started up and then killed chromium, it did. After letting it run several hours, the orphans are back... |

The Zombie I get looks like this (always as far as I can tell):

ps aux | grep chrome:

| Looks like what I have (I didn't include the non-zombies), except that your zombies are not owned by root. Wonder why that is... |

I don't have these in my kernel:

Chrome changes the name of some of it's processes (to Chrome_ProcessL and nacl_helper_bootstrap), so killall doesn't match on the name. If you give the full path of the binary /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome then killall will match. |

Can anyone reproduce with those options enabled in the booted, running kernel?
I think PID_NS should ensure there are no leftovers (maybe except zombies, not sure about that) after quitting the main process (root of the new namespace).

Yes, for all the stable gentoo-sources 3.0 and 3.2 series kernels I've tried. |
