[SOLVED] Google Chrome has upgraded and now wont start

Postby MrTempleDene » Jan 22nd, '15, 21:26

Fortunately it's not my main browser, but I find google on-line tools run better in it, so I keep it around.


When I try to start it after the upgrade I get

Code: Select all
[localhost ~]$ google-chrome-stable
[10085:10085:0122/192233:ERROR:nss_util.cc(819)] After loading Root Certs, loaded==false: NSS error code: -8018
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
Bus error


It gives a version number of Google Chrome 40.0.2214.91

I think I have to resign myself to waiting for Google to fix this, but I thought I'd post this in case someone can help, and as a warning not to upgrade it just yet.

Running Chrome 40.0.2214.91 here, and it works just fine after the update.
You may want to enable debugging by running it from a terminal via
Code: Select all
google-chrome --debug 2>&1 | tee debug.txt


If you want to reinstall it please try with
Code: Select all
urpmi --replacepkgs --replacefiles google-chrome-stable

Brilliant, thank you. That's sorted it out, I just did the re-install.
