Issue description
Chrome Version : 49.0.2623.108-0ubuntu1.1233
Other browsers tested:
Firefox: OK
OS/system:
Xubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus Fully up to date
In Virtualbox with guest additions 5_5.0.18_106667 (!!)
What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Install chromium-browser or chromium-browser-dbg on Xubuntu 16.04
(2) Open chromium browser
(3) Look at black and white boxes and sometimes other icons/pictures
What is the expected result?
Render actual UI and webpage
What happens instead?
Nothing rendered but instead black and white boxes and sometimes an icon (from scroll bar or something).
I have been able to verify the browser actually works. When I guess where text input elements are, I can click on them and input text. On the title bar I am also able to see that a page change is occurring when I search on google for example.
When I make a screenshot in the OS, the chrome window appears blank.
This also happens in google chrome.

After shutting down all OpenGL applications on the host, and having 3d acceleration enabled, it still doesn't work.
Chrome not playing nicely with VBox GPU?

Turns out this is a problem from Virtualbox and Linux. This bug report can be closed and needs to be fixed by Virtualbox. OpenGL acceleration is not working properly in Linux guests. Workaround is disabling 3d acceleration.
