After googling about that error, i have deleted ~/.config/chromium/default/Extension State Then with the next reboot, a new 'Extension State' folder has been created, and the previous error is not logged when using many opened tabs. Also there is less memory eaten & less hdd scanning.
note: the old & new 'Extension State' folders have the same rights; so the previous error seems mysterious. -- 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/1727608 Title: Run out of file descriptors with opened tabs > ~12,15 Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is not a recent issue: googling around "ERROR:value_store_frontend.cc(58)" show that error have been met several years ago on multiple distro, not only ubuntu. This append with a gnome-shell & wayland session when chromium have at least 12 opened tabs, and scrolling url with many images (like with thumblr.com). Journalctl is filed with errors like: "chromium-browser.desktop[2255]: [2255:4906:1026/040419.151932:ERROR:value_store_frontend.cc(58)] Error while writing gjieilkfnnjoihjjonajndjldjoagffm.browser_action to" which means that file descriptors limit has been reached. With such a case, gnome-shell is freezing until the hdd activity slowdown to normal. Prior all the 4 Gb ram is used and the swap partition is also widely used. This is not expected, ram & swap should be firstly needed by the active tab, not for all the opened ones. Something have to be better programed there. Is there a way to set file descriptor limit on the user side ?
