Hello,

After upgrading chromium (and there were no other updates, only
chromium), chromium fails when started with --temp-profile.

When started with --temp-profile a white box is displayed in X instead
of a window.

I am using X, over a network; the X client and server are 2 different
boxes.

Regardless of whether started with --temp-profile or not, chromium
produces at least 1 "*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated"
messages.  These messages are repeated (forever?) every now and then
when started with --temp-profile.

FYI: I suspect that chromium has lately (sometime in the last few
months?)  been "running" when left open with a blank window (no url)
after startup.  If I switch to a different xfce4 desktop then I get a
dialog every few minutes about a window not responding and do I want
to terminate it or wait.  I believe this has been the chromium window.
Now, with the update, I notice (when started without --temp-profile)
that the little spinning icon on the left side of the tab spins
forever, or until I put a url in the address bar and go to a website.

On my system chromium has always displayed some errors when started
with --temp-profile.  Here are the before and after errors.

Hello,

Upgrading to the latest chromium seems to have fixed the
problem of the window being displayed as a white box
without any controls.


Upgrade: chromium-sandbox:amd64 (97.0.4692.71-0.1~deb11u1, 97.0.4692.99-1~deb11u2), chromium:amd64 (97.0.4692.71-0.1~deb11u1, 97.0.4692.99-1~deb11u2), chromium-common:amd64 (97.0.4692.71-0.1~deb11u1, 97.0.4692.99-1~deb11u2)


Note that I am still getting plenty of error messages
on stdout/stderr when invoking chromium --temp-profile
from the command line.  See below.

You may want to close this bug.  I would be happy to file
a separate bug report(s) for any of the error messages
below, however you would advise.

Doing so now, but leaving it to the maintainers if they want separate
bugs on it for the remaining issues, okay? Andres?

Thanks!

Karl, the remaining error messages are either benign (like the "stack
smashing detected" ones, which are due to the older version of clang in
bullseye and don't show up in newer versions of clang), or seem to be
related to lack of hardware support from libgl1-mesa-dri. The next steps
to dealing with the mesa issues are trying out a backport of
libgl1-mesa-dri to see if it works better for you, and also going
through mesa's bug list to see if your specific radeonsi issues have
already been reported and/or solved. Your specific gpu hardware would be
listed in the output of chrome://gpu, if that's helpful for reporting a
mesa bug or following up on an existing one.


For the record, I don't know why the new release fixed your issue with
the --temp-profile window. Seems like an upstream chromium bug that got
fixed, as the debian side of things (for X11 at least) remained the
same. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At some point I hope to start including swiftshader with chromium, which
would provide an admittedly slow but functional software fallback for
folks whose GL hardware implementations are lacking or broken.

Thanks for the help.

FWIW, if you didn't notice, in the original bug report
I note that I'm using X over the network -- with
client and server on different boxes.
Video playback stopped working (meaning: I get
maybe a frame a second-ish (with avplay/vlc ?)) somewhere around
Stretch.  It worked for years before that.
(But I never tried to play video in a browser,
except perhaps by accident, and can't speak
to what chromium did.)

I will dig into it.  (I'm never sure what/how video acceleration
is supposed to work with the client and server on different boxes.)

It may take a while for me to look around.  As you may guess,
I don't care much about video.

Hello,

Looks like this is _not_ fixed.  It appears
to be a race condition.  Sometimes it happens,
sometimes not.

Let me know if you need a new bug report filed.

I notice that, although window borders and other controls are
not displayed, the cursor still seems to respond
to being over the window controls.  I.e., when
hovering over the edge of the "white box" the cursor
(in xfce4) changes to the "arrow with the bar at tip"
and I can grab the edge and resize the box.  Likewise,
I can move the box by "grabbing" where I would expect
the title bar to be.  And clicking where the close-box
for the window should be makes the application close.
