Package: chromium Version: 52.0.2743.82-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Since the switch to GTK3 in unstable Chromium has started to crash upon the first keypress in Wayland with the following log: [25511:25511:0803/101959:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(283)] GLib-GObject: invalid cast from 'GdkWaylandDisplay' to 'GdkX11Display' [25511:25511:0803/101959:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(283)] GLib-GObject: invalid cast from 'GdkWaylandDisplay' to 'GdkX11Display' [25511:25511:0803/101959:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(283)] GLib-GObject: invalid cast from 'GdkWaylandDisplay' to 'GdkX11Display' [25511:25511:0803/101959:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(283)] GLib-GObject: invalid cast from 'GdkWaylandDisplay' to 'GdkX11Display' It appears that since GTK3 supports Wayland it's automatically picked as the backend and since Chromium either hasn't fully stabilized its support for it or there's a bug the crash happens. Previously with gtk2 Xwayland was always used. The browser is perfectly usable and stable as long as no actual keys have been pressed, e.g. navigating with a mouse. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-custom (SMP w/8 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages chromium depends on: ii libasound2 1.1.1-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.20.0-1 ii libavcodec57 7:3.1.1-3 ii libavformat57 7:3.1.1-3 ii libavutil55 7:3.1.1-3 ii libc6 2.23.90+20160725.b898b64-1 ii libcairo2 1.14.6-1+b1 ii libcups2 2.1.4-4 ii libdbus-1-3 1.11.2-1 ii libexpat1 2.2.0-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.4 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3+b1 ii libgcc1 1:6.1.1-10 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.34.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.49.4-1 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.12.0-1+b1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.21.4-1 ii libharfbuzz0b 1.2.7-1 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.0-1 ii libnettle6 3.2-1 ii libnspr4 2:4.12-2 ii libnss3 2:3.23-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.1-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.1-1 ii libpci3 1:3.3.1-1.1 ii libpulse0 9.0-1.1 ii libspeechd2 0.8.4-2 ii libstdc++6 6.1.1-10 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-1 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.14-1+b1 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-2+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.2-1 ii libxi6 2:1.7.6-1 ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.9-2 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.28-4 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.2-1+b1 ii x11-utils 7.7+3 ii xdg-utils 1.1.1-1 Versions of packages chromium recommends: ii fonts-liberation 2.00.1-1 Versions of packages chromium suggests: pn chromium-l10n <none> -- debconf-show failed
