Ungoogled-chromium: Crashing with error "seccomp-bpf failure"

Created on 14 Feb 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

Describe the bug
At random times after startup the browser will crash.
Sometimes extensions will crash as well.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open the browser (chromium)
  2. Extensions may crash
  3. Some or many sites may crash

Expected behavior
It not to crash.

Environment:

  • OS/Platform and version:
    Artix Linux, kernel 5.5.3-zen1-1-zen
  • ungoogled-chromium version:
    79.0.3945.130

Additional Notes
Running local DNS server unbound for DNS-over-TLS.
Seemed like while running OpenVPN (RiseUp VPN) it did not crash, which does edit resolv.conf, but this could have been coincidental however.
I have several extensions installed:
Chromium Web Store, cVim, Dark Reader, Decentaleyes, HTTPS Everywhere, Play with MPV, Privacy Redirect, Redirector, uBlock Origin, uMatrix.
I have tried running the browser both as default chromium and with chromium --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode --force-dark-mode --process-per-site --disable-reading-from-canvas. On the latter it seems to crash not as often/fast, but again this could just be coincidental.

Any ideas? This is a really annoying problem that renders the browser unusable.

I am using the same ungoogled-chromium version (79.0.3945.130) and it started doing the same thing as you describe after upgrading my system. After looking around for a long while, I found this issue on Red Hat's Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1773289. This gave me the idea of checking whether glibc had been updated and apparently, it was updated from 2.30-3 to 2.31-1, so I downgraded it back and chromium doesn't seem to crash my tabs or extensions anymore :).

(For reference, I used the following command on Arch Linux: downgrade lib32-glibc glibc and chose 2.30-3 for both.)

Did it crash before? 78, for example.

There's not much we can do about glibc, other than address it in platform repos. Closing as invalid here.

This is fixed in Chromium 80, it's a Chromium bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1025739, not a glibc bug.

https://github.com/chromium/chromium/commit/54407b422a9cbf775a68c1d57603c0ecac8ce0d7 is the fix that can be backported.
Upgrading to 80 is a better idea though.
Which I see already happened here.
