Thanks Emmeran for pointing this! chromium-browser 43.0.2357.130 (released a week ago) has been fixed.
Still, for distros older than 15.10, GPU acceleration remains off by default. To enable GPU acceleration again: - Open chrome://settings/ - Go to "Show advanced settings..." -> "System" -> "Use hardware acceleration when available" - Restart chrome - Check chrome://gpu/ Thanks Chad! ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1463598 Title: Chromium 43 fails to use hardware acceleration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1463598/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
