Sorry, can't provide repro steps as it's not my bug - see the original bug report that this issue was split out from (421231)

Could you please provide the sample crash server I'd by navigating to chrome://crashes for further investigation of the issue.

Thanks!!

I was the one reporting this; it happened on startup until I removed the chromecast extension folder. I can't think of anything more to add, but feel free to ask questions.

I can confirm that I have exactly the same error. My chromium does not start anymore. For anyone having this same problem, the extensions are in a bit of a weird place. I did:

~/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions

lot of directories with gibberish names, then:

find -name chrome* 

to find the folder that contains the chromecast extension.

 

Here's how to reproduce a crash when enabling chromecast.

1) chrome://flags/#media-router
2) "Load Media Router Component Extension" -> Enabled
3) Restart Chromium and notice the crash (several different crashes are possible!)

To reset all settings:
rm -rf ~/.config/chromium/
# or
mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium-bak

Then you can try again.

I encountered these bugs while trying to enable casting from my Linux server to my Chromecast.

chromium --version
Chromium 62.0.3202.89

Latest Arch Linux
Linux computer-machine-name 4.13.11-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 2 10:25:56 CET 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I can confirm the same bug under Arch Linux after enabling 'Media Router Component Extension'

To be clear: the message from background_mode_manager_aura.cc is not related to this crash. It's a benign message that is printed out any time you have a background mode extension installed.

We're aware that there are some compatibility issues with some Linux distributions, but we've never been able to get enough information to reproduce or investigate, because Chromium does not have crash reporting enabled.

unwesen and jan.murre are you also running Arch Linux?

Per notes above, not able to repro with a crash report. May be related to bug 704210 which was also on Arch Linux and which has been addressed.

Closing for now, please reopen if you see the same behavior in the latest version of Chromium
