Hi
I have a fully updated F13 (64bit) machines using
google-chrome 6.0.472.55 beta
With SELinux in Enforcing mode
google-chrome will crash leaving no error messages in dmesg
or /var/log/messages or in the terminal if run from the command line
(to be exact - only the startup messages shown below)
No Selinux problems are shown by SElinux Troubleshooter
Just the "Aw, Snap!" page is shown
"Something went wrong while displaying this webpage"
No keys, mouse buttons do anything useful within the display area.
Selecting "Learn more" repaints the "Aw, Snap!" page.
The outer window is active ie bookmarks, options can be accessed
but the "display area" will not reload anything other than "Aw, Snap!"
The top right "kill window X" does indeed kill the window
The site I have been using for testing is
http://www.justtheflight.co.uk/
Type in "gat" into the "Departing from" and selecting
London Gatwick
causes the crash
Switching SElinux to permissive mode DOES NOT crash the above site!
but SElinux Troubleshooter shows no problems.
As far as I remember the only things I have changed in SElinux
were a couple of settings that were to do with my home
directories being on NFS mounts.
I have fiddled with almost all of the google-chrome option settings etc
Also searched the web. Found many references to "Aw, Snap!" but
could not see anything that might help.
Has anyone else seen this problem?
Advice as to how to debug further very welcome
John
