** Description changed: Ubuntu 18.04 I expect Chrome to play videos. When I try to play any video on Google Chrome for Linux, any version of 75 or higher, Google Chrome freezes. Chrome 75 will allow sound but no video. All mouse clicks become unresponsive. Attempting to close Chrome after many mouse clicks causes Chrome to crash. Even worse it often also crashes Ubuntu 18.04. Google Chrome 74 or lower work without any problems playing videos. It is a Google Chrome Linux version 75 or higher problem. I cannot believe that neither Google or Ubuntu or any other Linux OS seem to completely ignore this extremely serious problem. I am forced to install Google Chrome 71 to fix video playback problem. I posted on Ubuntu ask, and show over 90 views but no comments. One answer confirms that he has the exact same problem. + --- + ProblemType: Bug + ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.6 + Architecture: amd64 + CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME + Desktop-Session: + 'ubuntu' + '/etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu:/etc/xdg' + '/usr/share/ubuntu:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop' + DetectedPlugins: + + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 + Env: + 'None' + 'None' + InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-05-02 (66 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20181019) + Load-Avg-1min: 1.47 + Load-Processes-Running-Percent: 0.1% + MachineType: MSI MS-7641 + NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia + Package: chromium-browser 75.0.3770.90-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 + PackageArchitecture: amd64 + ProcEnviron: + TERM=xterm-256color + PATH=(custom, no user) + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash + ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-55-generic root=UUID=7181ee96-0bd0-4b3c-9100-fa205ef6bd1d ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1 + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-55.60-generic 4.15.18 + Tags: bionic + Uname: Linux 4.15.0-55-generic x86_64 + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: adm adm cdrom cdrom dip dip lpadmin lpadmin plugdev plugdev sambashare sambashare sudo sudo + _MarkForUpload: True + dmi.bios.date: 04/20/2015 + dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. + dmi.bios.version: V25.1 + dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. + dmi.board.name: 760GMA-P34(FX) (MS-7641) + dmi.board.vendor: MSI + dmi.board.version: 5.0 + dmi.chassis.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. + dmi.chassis.type: 3 + dmi.chassis.vendor: MSI + dmi.chassis.version: 5.0 + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrV25.1:bd04/20/2015:svnMSI:pnMS-7641:pvr5.0:rvnMSI:rn760GMA-P34(FX)(MS-7641):rvr5.0:cvnMSI:ct3:cvr5.0: + dmi.product.family: To Be Filled By O.E.M. + dmi.product.name: MS-7641 + dmi.product.version: 5.0 + dmi.sys.vendor: MSI + etcconfigcpepperflashpluginnonfree: + flashso="/usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree/libpepflashplayer.so" + flashversion=`strings $flashso 2> /dev/null | grep LNX | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | sed -e "s/,/./g"` + CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso --ppapi-flash-version=$flashversion" + modified.conffile..etc.default.chromium-browser: [deleted] ** Attachment added: "ChromiumPrefs.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835623/+attachment/5275698/+files/ChromiumPrefs.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835623 Title: Google Chrome Linux version 75 freezes and then crashes when trying to play any video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1835623/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
