« The official google chrome release on the same configuration is not affected, so this problem is specific to our chromium-browser packages. »
This is in fact not true. While it happens less often, I've been able to reproduce the issue with google chrome launched without any additional command-line flags. Attaching a screenshot. ** Attachment added: "chrome.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1696965/+attachment/4900861/+files/chrome.png ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical => High ** Description changed: 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. + The official google chrome release on the same configuration is affected + too, although much less often. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696965 Title: First renderer process doesn't render page for chromium 59.0.3071.86 in KVM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1696965/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
