chromium-browser -disable-gpu-sandbox doesn't work anymore, just tells me I'm using an unsupported command line parameter and has seemingly no effect.
Someone in the discussion at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=401106 claims chromium-browser --single-process works but when I try that it tells me I'm using an unsupported command line parameter and segfaults within ~10 seconds. Apparently google-chrome exhibits the same issue (according to https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=401106), which means either a) the same packaging issue is going on in both packages or b) Google's developers are shifting blame because it's convenient, I dunno. Needs fixing either way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1353940 Title: webgl no longer works Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since update to chromium 36, webgl sites no longer work on my ubuntu 12.04 although it worked well on chromium 35 and older...
