I am running the 32-bit version of ubuntu 14.04 and using Version 43.0.2357.81 of Google Chrome (google-chrome-stable) on it. Youtube usually works fine with Mozilla firfox, but as I start a youtube video on Chrome,

  1. Menu bar, unity bar vanish!
  2. Screen blinks and the screen locks (requesting password)
  3. Upon unlocking, screen blinks again, then repeat steps 2 and 3 forever till I give up and restart.

I have tried installing Google Chrome through:-

  1. www.google.com/chrome
  2. google-chrome-stable via Ubuntu Software Center
  3. installed an older stable version of chrome and updated it through the terminal.

I have even re-installed ubuntu assuming that there might be some issue with the original installation. Nothing works! Any ideas?

Thanks :)

P.S.: Works fine in mozilla firefox and the youtube unity web app though

  • Is switching browsers an option? Or is Google Chrome necessary?

  • Well, I use chrome on my company system too, which runs on windows and does not have firefox.

  • Okay, so I tried something else. I removed the stable installation of chrome and changed to "Version 44.0.2403.18 beta". It worked fine right after the installation; after a restart to check, the problem persists. I am curious now!

  • Strange. Perhaps you should file a bug report to Google...
