Public bug reported:
Chromium 59.0.3071.86 was promoted to the stable release channel earlier
this week, and I have built packages for all supported ubuntu releases
at https://launchpad.net/~osomon/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-stable.
While they seem to work well on bare metal and in virtualbox virtual
machines, we are seeing an issue in KVM guests (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04.2):
when launched, the page in the first tab is not rendered at all (the
contents remain blank). Refreshing the page doesn't make things any
better. But browsing to a different domain in the same tab "fixes" the
issue.
All URLs are affected: the default URL when opening the browser for the
first time is chrome://welcome, and it's not rendered, and so aren't
other http URLs when passed on the command line.
It looks like the first renderer process is not able to render to screen
correctly. The renderer process itself looks okay, it doesn't crash, and
I haven't seen anything relevant in the verbose logs.
The official google chrome release on the same configuration is not
affected, so this problem is specific to our chromium-browser packages.
