Hi
I wonder if anyone has tried google-chrome (from the google repositories) dev channel under kde 4.5.5 and whether it works ok for them?
I'm having problems with it hanging a lot on F14 x86_64, but not every time. When I start it, sometimes it just doesnt render some web pages. Often if its trying to restore half a dozen tabs it'll do a couple but hang on the rest. Eventually they timeout.
The beta channel seems to work fine.
The dev channel works well under gnome, it seems to be kde its having problems with.
I had an idea that this behaviour started after they set the default to enable accelerated layers, but the obvious trick of using the --disable-accelerated-layers option doesnt seem to fix it.
Anyone any info or ideas?
Thanks
Roderick

It's my regular browsing environment. Haven't had problems with it in a long time. You might try disabling any extensions, or in the worst case remove the cached info.

Thanks for your response. I finally tracked the problem down! Its the gecko-mediaplayer plugin that is causing the problem for me.
That plugin was recently un-blacklisted in the chrome dev builds (as previously it would cause hangs). It seems to be fine under gnome but not under kde. I wonder whats going on there? Maybe I'll ask on the gecko-mediaplayer list.
Thanks again. Its was so useful to know it worked for someone under kde.

For what it's worth, I don't use that plugin but can still play media. Chrome has some builtin capabilities which seem to work, at least on Youtube and the like.

I guess that'll be the flash player which is built in. The thing is that I have the other media players for use with firefox etc. I guess I'll have to find a way to disable these for chrome if the gecko-mediaplayer and kde folks can't help me find why that combination hangs under kde.

Can't you just open the Extensions pane within Chrome and simply disable them?

I'm not quite sure what you mean (exactly) here but if I go to preferences/content settings and click the "Disable individual plug-ins" it tries to open "about:plugins" but this page doesnt render, it just hangs. I guess I need to be able to disable these using a command line switch.
I could possibly use the Plug-ins "block all" switch and then the manage exceptions dialogue but I havent been able to figure out how to specify the "pattern" to put in to the exceptions setup.

Click on the spanner (or wrench, whatever you call it) in the top right corner of the Chrome window. Select Tools->Extensions from the drop-down menu. You'll get a new tab with a list of current extensions. You can then disable (or even uninstall) any of them using the buttons provided.
