Thank you Javier for reporting and digging into it. It should affect everybody but strangely not much people are complaining about it here. I tried the workaround you pointed out, it only works in the environment that is not expecting ibus inputs. I.e., launching cromium-browser from xterm that does not accept ibus input would work, yet launching cromium-browser from rxvt that does takes ibus inputs would fail, and eventually freeze the whole system.
Although the new google Aura graphics stack is a good thing, I do agree that it's too early for Canonical to enable Aura in Chromium 34 in Ubuntu 14.04, because even the official Google Chrome 34 is released with Aura disabled. Instead of going 35 (or better? 36), I've concluded that *for me*, the *safest* way is to uninstalled chromium for 14.04 and download chrome from google -- https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/?platform=linux -- 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/1308125 Title: ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(240)] Gdk: gdk_window_set_user_time called on non-toplevel Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Can't input text in input fields, the browser shows an error on the console. It makes the browser unusable. This bug has already been reported here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=360388 But since this was an update from the ubuntu repos, the relase date is almost here, this is an LTS release and the browser is one of the most used programs, I thought it might be worth creating the bug here as well. Maybe revert to version 33 until this is solve?. How to reproduce. An up to date Kubuntu 14.04. Launch cromium-browser, go to any web page with a text field and enter text. As soon as the keys are pressed errors appear in the console.
