Its not the PC, I've been troubleshooting, appears to be the profile in .cache/google-chrome-unstable.
I've never debugged chrome before, so I found a --diagnostics command line.
On the current broken profile it fails on 2 things
[FAIL] User preferences integrity
File too big
[FAIL] Thumbnails database
Cannot open DB. Possibly corrupted
If I remove the .cache/google-chrome-unstable directory, google unstable starts fine and runs. Something is broken in the that cache directory...
I'll keep troubleshooting, but it is the browser.

If I tar the broken cache directory, I get a "Cannot savedir: Structure needs cleaning" Looks to be a bad cache file on disk thats chrome is triggering the OS. Will try a xfs repair and see if that fixes the issue. Not sure how chrome is triggering the file subsystem, tar isnt.

Yup, corrupted file in .cache/google-chrome-unstable, did an xfs repair and that fixed the file, unstable working again.

Thanks for the update, closing this issue for now. Please raise separate issue if you have any issue using chrome in future. |
