  • Segfaults are usually indicative of some type of bug in the software. A bug should be filed with Google.

You might not need to delete your whole user profile. I was able to fix this by deleting my download history alone: Downloads > Clear All.

I diagnosed this as per these instructions:

$ sqlite3 ~/.config/chromium/Default/History

sqlite> select count(*) from downloads;
sqlite> select count(*) from downloads_url_chains;

The two counts differed, suggesting that the database had become corrupt. I backed it up (you never know) then cleared the download history. Chromium hasn't crashed since.

Delete the user profile of your Google Chrome and then use chrome again

User profile is present in the following folder, delete the google-chrome folder.

~/.config/google-chrome/

Keep in mind that deleting these profiles will wipe out any bookmarks, cookies, etc. attached to that profile. If you’re using Chrome Sync, there’s no need to back up anything as it will all be restored for you the next time you start Chrome and login to the Sync system.

You can read these instruction at Google Chrome help for reseting profile

see the comments in the bug report.

You might want to switch to canary channel for Chrome, or you have to wait until the patch reaches the stable channel.

  • That issue seems to be about a dependency problem? How it is related?
