(In reply to comment #41) The number of ways that key access can be terminated keeps increasing, doesn't it? I hope it won't be necessary to enumerate them all before this bug can be closed! My oops. I have had my focus redirected to other projects and, besides, I'm very lazy (;-}).

I use Dvorak, and this has been an annoyance for me as well. I recently learned about GRUB's newly-added support for non-QWERTY keymaps, and have put together a drop-in solution for Ubuntu users. Place the attached script in /etc/grub.d/, and run update-grub. It will use your system-wide keyboard

Okay, I've done a bit of digging on this using a debug build. The problem is in the very first line of BackendImpl::MatchEntry(): Addr address(data_-table[hash mask_]); data_-table[] is a memory-mapped array, backed by the file ~/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache/index (in my case). When my

I agree that having the cache on a network filesystem is not ideal, but that should be a performance issue, not a crash issue. I know about XDG_CACHE_HOME et al., it's just that that's no better a solution than --disk-cache-dir. As it is, my experience has been that very, very few applications

This appears to be collateral damage from the transition to multiarch. The new flashplugin-downloader package and nspluginviewer are i386-only... but both should be installable on amd64 thanks to multiarch... but for some reason, they are not. Could this be an APT configuration issue? Do you need

RedSingularity, please note that this error (as far as I'm aware) only occurs when the home directory is being served from AFS. This scenario breaks common assumptions held by many programs (that the homedir is always accessible/writable) and is thus more likely than not the ultimate cause of this

Sure, the makedumpfile(8) program has other uses, but we're talking about the dependencies of the linux-crashdump metapackage. There's really only one usage context that's relevant for that. I wouldn't suggest dropping the makedumpfile package altogether in favor of makedumpfile-static, but
