Chrome browser stops working after minute of use - yrjo1 - 02-19-2014
Chrome browser crashes all the time, with different errors. Like this: ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(185)] Gtk: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -2147483648 and height 1019
opt/google/chrome/chrome: /build/buildd/cairo-1.10.2/src/cairo-surface.c:1287: cairo_surface_set_device_offset: Assertion `status == CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS' failed.
Aborted
What can I do, except to use firefox browser?

How did you install chrome, what source etc (if you can simply link to the file/version). Can you try running it from a terminal and copy the entire output from the terminal and place on a "pastebin" like service or preferably https://gist.github.com/ for us.

Problem solved. I changed to chromium-browser and start it, with password store option like this: /usr/bin/chromium-browser --password-store=basic
Then it will not crash immediatelly.

I had problems with Google Chrome when I first installed it. The problem turned out to be that it was synching everything, including apps and extensions, with my other Chrome installations on a Windows laptop and mobile devices. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, then selected "Choose what to sync" rather than "Synch everything" and deselected Apps and Extensions. It now works perfectly.
Incidentally, I installed it by dowloading the debian package from Google (link on the Google search page in Firefox) and launching it to the Package Installer without recourse to the Terminal.
