Chromium freezes on start on Ubuntu 16.04

  • 772

On start Chromium freezes completly and does not respond afterwards.

lspci | grep -i vga says:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)

Using Chromium 55.0.2883.87 on (L)Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit).

How to fix it?

16.04

  1. I have some solution too. Seems, the problem is with GPU acceleration. But, because Chromium freezes, you cant access Settings->Advanced settings to disable hardware acceleration.

    So first you need to run browser with disabled GPU:

    $ chromium-browser --disable-gpu

    And then you can make settings permanent in Advanced settings.
