I just updated chrome on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Most of the font on pages opened in Chrome looks distorted. Anyone having same issues?
Try to install the Chromium Browser.
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
The Chromium Browser runs like Google Chrome.
Make a test and tell us how the fonts are exhibited.
Bye.

I'm trying to open google chrome from terminal in Ubuntu but after submiting google-chrome I'm getting this error:
ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported
I've installed it by following this tutorial: https://itsfoss.com/install-chrome-ubuntu/
I've looked at this but it didn't help me How to open google chrome from terminal?
Does anyone know how I can solve this issue?
Thanks!
I just ran
sudo apt list --upgradable
Chrome was one of the upgradable list, then ran the command
sudo apt upgrade
I had the same problem, updating the GPU drivers resolved the problem.
I installed Chromium via Snap instead (sudo snap install chromium). I get the same error message, but the browser appears to be running correctly anyway. I'd still like to know what it means and how to fix it....
So the funny moment.
I tested my app and ran tests on Karma + Jasmine before commit with Husky tool. Once Chrome got stuck and after reboot system Chrome always opens as a new Karma window in incognito mode. The Chrome icon is renamed too.
I tried to reinstall Chrome but issue still exists. I have:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
So I can I revert changes and get back my lovely Chrome?
Ok, so Karma has configurations in ~/.local/share/applicaitons. It lock the Chrome and creates a karma-<random-numbers> test kit in tmp folder.
To fix it
cd ~/.local/share/applicaitons
rm google-chrome.desktop
I have Google Chrome ver. 41.0.2272.118 and I decided to upgrade it.
I've dowloaded latest version of Google Chrome version 46.0.2490.86 :
Got:2 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main google-chrome-stable amd64 46.0.2490.86-1 [47,3 MB]
Then I check version from console:
maxim#maxim:/opt/google/chrome$ ./google-chrome -version
Google Chrome 46.0.2490.86
But when I run it
maxim#maxim:/opt/google/chrome$ ./google-chrome
and check About, it still show 41.0.2272.118
What did I do wrong?
I also had this similar problem on Linux Mint. I found the following solution to work.
Close all Chrome sessions
Update google-chrome using apt-get as you have done above
Move the config files from ~/.config/google-chrome to ~/.config/bkp_google-chrome
Start google-chrome and the new version should now be started.
Please note this will erase all your history, bookmarks etc
Hi I'm working in a project that I need to run a video on Firefox and Chrome, so I install the "VLC Web Plugin" and it is run correctly on Firefox, but I can not install it on Chrome.
I try to install the "ubuntu-extras-restricted" package, install VLC full, install "browser-plugin-vlc" package, but nothing worked for Chrome.
How do install "VLC Web Plugin" for Chrome on Ubuntu?
I read in some places that you can not install "VLC Web Plugin" for Chrome on Ubuntu. It is true?
Configuration:
Chrome: 37.0.2062.120 (Versão oficial 281580)
OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
For some reason, the same mp3 files :
http > my.mp3
https> same.mp3
plays on Firefox, and doesn't play on Chromium Version 37.0.2062.94 Ubuntu 14.04 (290621) (64-bit). Using the Code inspector, I see no feedbacks in the console.
What is going wrong ? How to make it work ?
As a not completely free format, Mp3 is not supported by Chromium out of the box. See http://www.chromium.org/audio-video
Solutions:
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree
Windows: see How do I add MP3, MP4 and H.264 support to Chromium on Windows?
