Comment #1 on issue 31357 by Robert.Bradbury: Chromium restarts fail http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31357
Sorry for the last sentence. Further information. First I deleted the FlashBlock extension from the Preferences file, then I deleted AdBlock from the Preferences file. Restart still had same behavior. Session comes up, responsive, displaying those pages (which have loaded) during startup. CPU @ ~100% (expected given the amount of X activity), network (DSL) activity has various spikes from 0 to ~100%, probably averaging around 60% for perhaps 10 minutes then drops to zero. Finally I tried restarting the session with -disable-javascript -- which DID work. So it sounds like there is a problem with Javascript hanging the ability of chromium (the master process?) from talking to the X server. All the windows/tabs are present but once it finishes the "reloading" process all of the screens appear to be blank (only the titles of the page of present in the windows). Chrome does not appear to be listening to the keyboard either as keyboard commands don't appear to work. The only other note of interest might be that these chrome sessions are started with "-one-process-per-site -restore-last-session" (and without -disable-javascript). Since many of the restored tabs reference the National Library of Medicine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) and it now does use Javascript (though not in a really "critical" -- mostly menus) there are normally going to be a lot of Javascripts running in a session like this. Attached is the gdb information for one of the "hung" sessions. What is interesting is that attempting to strace the main process yielded little information, the only result I obtained was: Process 6570 attached - interrupt to quit write(14, "!", 1 <unfinished ...> Process 6570 detached Attachments: hung.trc.2 18.2 KB -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
