This just started today. When I open Chromium, the desktop crashes, and I end up at the Antix log-on screen.
I have tried uninstalling and also removed /.config/chromium. Then did a fresh install, and the same thing happens.

Try

Code: Select all

apt-get --purge remove chromium
as root and then try installing chromium again is all I can think of. I don't like using chromium myself.

I have had more issues using chromium than chrome, for some reason.
And I wonder why it installs to /opt? (or was that chrome??)

I just tried this , and I still have the same thing.

I like using chromium for testing games. I get a lot of garbage to try, sometimes the games are incomplete.

Shoot. I'd say start chromium in a terminal but if Desktop crashes. That won't help ya much.

Iceweasel won't play the games Chromium does?

have you tried running chromium with the plugins/addons disabled?
chromium --disable-extensions
If that does not work, perhaps you could try grabbing the output of the terminal by running chromium like
chromium --disable-extensions > terminal.txt
or perhaps enable logging
chromium --disable-extensions --enable-logging --v=1
I am not sure where it will log to though.

I found the problem, It was a script from an unfinished game. The script was passing the error back to the system.
Chromium was loading the last page that I was on each time it started.
For some reason the cashe files, and configuration files for Chromium did not get removed from the reinstall.
I installed Bleachbit, and it removed the problem. Great little program for cleaning the browser.
