Seems the chromium team doesn't release new versions. This repository seems to fix it.
Chromium now works (till now). Let's see what the long term shows. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ/Workarounds#Chromium_not_Updating -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065961 Title: chromium-browser: general protection (fault) Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: chromium-browser crashes very often on my system, leaving the following in dmesg (excerpt): [69260.837159] chromium-browse[21110] general protection ip:b55fdfe9 sp:bf9caab0 error:0 in chromium-browser[b3206000+456a000] [69794.178272] chromium-browse[22905] general protection ip:b55defe9 sp:bf86fbc0 error:0 in chromium-browser[b31e7000+456a000] [69885.166766] chromium-browse[23139] general protection ip:b5642fe9 sp:bff37c50 error:0 in chromium-browser[b324b000+456a000] [71048.467893] chromium-browse[23287] general protection ip:b5619fe9 sp:bfe5f4c0 error:0 in chromium-browser[b3222000+456a000] [71110.682438] chromium-browse[24111]: segfault at 6 ip 4b98bace sp bfce6380 error 4 in libflashplayer.so[4b1f5000+1014000] I usually get an application-crashed information in the systray, but due to apport bug #1058376, no crash report ever gets send to Launchpad. This does not seem to depend on the website being looked at. It appears randomly and is not reproducible when watching the same website again. It seems to happen only when leaving one page / loading another, but never when the page is already loaded. Sometimes Chromium does not crash, but freezes instead and has to be killed. It happens only since a few weeks (maybe 1-2 months at max), so it could be caused by an update to some library. Chromium was also updated during that timeframe: chromium-browser:i386 (18.0.1025.168~r134367-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, 20.0.1132.47~r144678-0ubuntu0.12.04.1), from /var/log/apt/history.log. I downgraded to a version archived on Launchpad [1], which does not show the bug.
