Arch Linux User Repository

When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Stable updates" tag in Release blog for this.

You can also run this command to obtain the version string for the latest chrome version:

$ curl -sSf https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages | \
     grep -A1 "Package: google-chrome-stable" | \
     awk '/Version/{print $2}' | \
     cut -d '-' -f1

Do not report updates for ChromeOS, Android or other platforms stable versions as updates here.

Google Chrome won't open after installing Plymouth with arch-plymouthize when I turn on the computer.

Something has to do with /etc/fonts/fonts.conf Error.

md5sum failing as Google have updated to version 67.0.3396.87...

Well I've no idea what link u went into, but the blog (and direct link) are up to date.

You can always verify the version that gets pulled in directly with the repo data command, since the source link doesn't change.

E: The 66.0.3359.203 from May 31st, not 13th is for Chrome OS.

I get this message in build. I googled and couldn't see if it was bad :

@Pryka: Probably the same thing that happened to me: Chrome lost the random password it stores in the keyring as "Chrome Safe Storage", which it uses to encrypt cookies. After that is lost, any new cookies created don't overwrite their old counterparts and thus we end up with duplicate cookies.

The cookie handling behavior has changed in Chrome 66 and duplicate cookies should no longer be created (it was a rare issue in the first place). There might still be some problematic behavior though, as I noted in the upstream bug. It's also still the case that losing "Chrome Safe Storage" will make all cookies encrypted with it unreadable.

@foutrelis Yeah, bunch of dupes.

But I don't understand now... Why creating a new profile fixed that on my machine? I jumped back and fort from 64 to 66 just to check it. And I'm not losing anything now. Chrome stays log in on sites an google account after each update.

@Pryka: If you have a backup of your Chrome 65 profile, you can run this query on its Cookies database: https://crbug.com/800414#c26

If it returns anything other than 0, then duplicate cookies was the reason you lost your cookies after upgrading to Chrome 66.

@foutrelis

Could be. But it seams to work normal after creating clean profile files. At least for now. Have to wait for the v67 to be sure.

@Pryke: Cookie loss after upgrading to M66 can be due to https://crbug.com/800414#c37

@Det: You can remove gconf from the dependencies. It's not been needed since Chrome 65 I believe.

@Det:

Couldn't reproduce it in Chromium 65 and 66.

Apparently it was some kind of corruption of my Google-Chrome profile. Created new one. Downgraded/Updated(65<-->66) and everything is working fine now(with sync on and off). Thank You.

@Det Thank you for the interest.

I'll do this tomorrow, anyway I will get back to You and post results.

It'd be interesting, if you could test this with Chromium also: https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/c/chromium/

And if can't reproduce, then with clean profile on Chrome (non-synced) (see /var/cache/pacman/pkg or e.g. https://dl.google.com/linux/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_65.0.3325.181-1_amd64.deb).

Hello!

Probably since v64 every time I perform chrome update to next major version like 64-->65 or now to 66. Chrome is losing all my sessions and I need to relog to almost every single site I use. Not ground breaking but annoying.

Anyone noticed similar behaviour?

PS. This bug or whatever it is do not occur when update are performed is in the same line, like: 65.0.3325.162 --> 65.0.3325.181.

EDIT: Did a little digging and it's looks that I have lost a whole lot of cookies after update. So this was probably the culprit in the previous ones(updates). Still no idea why this is happening.

Oh my god, don't post a comment about it.

Please, update the PKGBUILD, the release to

pkgver=66.0.3359.117

and md5sums to

md5sums=('c979c8fac57b9f78de0b899f1b09ce39' 'd50d8f0a6940791eabc41c4f64e6a3cf' '99fa93d5e7fb5d622cef0f9621f3ffa3')

@fuan_k Thanks. I just needed to confirm my overclocked ram wasn't causing the segfault.

@zerophase: yes, got the same segfault with 390.48 drivers, downgraded to 387.34.

Has anyone else gotten this segfault?

Smoerrebroed flagged google-chrome out-of-date on 2018-04-02 for the following reason:

New release is out!

No there isn't.

So for now, we cannot log in and sync the extension etc for it to be run properly? Because (as others have mentioned below) if I ever log in + sync, google chrome won't start.

I don't actually need this to be synced because I mainly use chromium and I want to use chrome for testing purpose. But this is weird.

Wow, yes it is.

That's super sad and annoying.

Ok. I just saw pacaur is unmantained... Arch is too fast for me sometimes :)

clear ~/.cache/pacaur

Guys, If I try to install this with pacaur, I get: :: Installing google-chrome package(s)... :: google-chrome package(s) failed to install. :: ensure package version does not mismatch between .SRCINFO and PKGBUILD :: ensure package name has a VCS suffix if this is a devel package

But installing it manually works ok. Any idea how to fix this?

Manjaro? You'll be doing another perfect update in a minute.

I also ran into the md5 checksum error: ==> Validating source files with md5sums... google-chrome-stable_64.0.3282.167_amd64.deb ... FAILED

I decided to run yaourt with skipping validity checks: yaourt --m-arg "--skipchecksums --skippgpcheck" -Syua

This works fine for me and chrome updated perfectly.

+1

I just use pkill.

Added a Github page describing the shutdown problems observed with chrome and chromium (includes fix to "Chrome didn't shutdown correctly"): https://github.com/beoldhin/killgroup

You're right, the synchronization screws it all. If I dont sync, it restarts all right. If I ever sign in, it syncs then I cant relaunch it unless I remove config.

Workaround it to stay signed out for the moment. But that's weird.

I'll configure synchronization one by one and tell.

Probably you're not closing it right. Or it happens after syncing extensions, etc.

I'd go step by step.

But it only works 1 launch after the remove of the directory: if I close Chrome and relaunch again, it fails.

"rm -rf ~/.config/google-chrome ; rm -rf ~/.cache/google-chrome" made it works for me...

What else is there besides the sums?

Please retire md5 and switch to sha256 at least for checksums :)

@belochub: for the differences between those, see: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1086915?hl=en

The other two are: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-chrome-beta/, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-chrome-dev/

@clepi: from my experience, it's Chrome populating its History information or something. You can see it read a lot of things from disk and load it in memory. Can be databases generated by some extensions too, mostly related to history and cache usually.

I have cleared ~/.config/google-chrome & ~/.cache/google-chrome but it still won't work.

Went through the normal troubleshooting of renaming ~/.config/xxx/ & ~/.cache/xxx/, and looking at the terminal output?

When I open chrome (or even chromium) I cannot use it - it's not responsive (can't even type anything in search bar). It've been installed without errors. Does anyone have the same issue? Moreover it works perfectly fine on my laptop, but it won't on pc.

I get the message "Chrome didn't shutdown correctly" always when I start Chrome after restarting the computer. I found out that Chrome leaves some processes running even after the browser is closed. Closing these processes with "killall chrome" before restart fixes this problem. The default signal sent by killall is "sigterm" but systemd probably sends something "faster" to the processes during shutdown, leaving them in unclean state.

Update: grepping chrome process tree root process with "pgrep -o chrome" and then killing that process + waiting for the directory to disappear from proc works better than "killall" that sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

zerophase: "Is anyone else having issues with Chrome refusing to launch lately?". Yes. I just moved from chromium to chrome in one system with Cinnamon and other with Gnome 3. Launching chrome in Cinnamon doesn't work (hangs forever) but in Gnome 3 it does so there does seem to be that almost required dependency to gnome-keyring.
