Description b14wc@hotmail.com 2015-05-18 12:17:41 UTC
I just did a fresh reinstall of gentoo.  None of the google-chromes can display a page.  It is crashing on startup giving the page cannot be displayed.  After doing some searches I discovered that the message I am getting has been identified by google-chrome developers and they have created a patch for it.  I wanted to know if the patch(es) could be added to portage tree.

Here is the google link

From the upstream bug report, I do not think that this message has anything to do with your problem.

Can you get a screen shot of the error in the browser? Is there any other output on the terminal?

Also, please provide the output of emerge --info.

Ok, so you're getting a "sad tab" page.

Can you check the kernel log (dmesg) to see if the process is getting killed for some reason?

Only thing I am seeing in dmesg is:

When I try to open a web address after getting the page cannot be displayed I get the following error message:

Please enable crash reporting: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96817?hl=en and report a crash bug: https://www.chromium.org/for-testers/bug-reporting-guidelines/reporting-crash-bug

I'd recommend you post both the upstream bug URL and the crash id here for reference.

I think you misread the instructions; you don't need to use gdb to enable crash reporting.

In any case, /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable is a shell script wrapper. If you want to run chrome in gdb, you need to run it on the chrome binary.

gdb /opt/google/chrome/chrome

Based on your dmesg output, you should get SIGILL, and you should be able to use the "disassemble" command to see what instruction is being executed.

Chrome logging

Still facing this issue, even rebuilt all of the dependencies.  Also, facing the same issue with chromium.

Check if chrome is running with no sandbox, because in your 
gdb debug file chrome is shut down after sandbox initializing:
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --no-sandbox

If chrome was running this way this might be a duplicate of
bug 556006.

It appears this issue might be due to something I have enabled or not enabled in my kernel config.  Can someone do a comparison with their config who has chrome working please?

Seeing this after the install dont know if this is the issue:

 * QA Notice: This package installs one or more .desktop files that do not
 * pass validation.
 *

I'm confused why you tried to do something with gdb.

Google Chrome has built-in crash reporting.

Is there anything preventing you from using the instructions I linked to so that a crash report gets automatically generated and sent? Don't forget to post the crash id here for reference.
