When I run the google-chrome
- [19141:19141:0425/011526.129520:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(374)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.
This error is coming also chrome is not opening.
I was getting the same error with Vivaldi and could launch it using this command:
$ vivaldi-stable %U --password-store=basic
Maybe this can launch google-chrome
too. I am not sure what the original problem has been in my case and how this fixes it.
UPDATE 1:
Well I have some more info on possible cause of my issue. I noticed that Evolution
was not also running properly. It was not able to sync the imap folders. I use fingerprint login in Ubuntu 20.04 and after logging in, it always used to ask for my actual password when launching Vivaldi
.
This time, I noticed that after logging in with fingerprint it did not ask for a password when trying to launch Vivaldi
and as mentioned above, Vivaldi
didn't launch either.
So I logged out and logged back in my password. This time, both Vivaldi
and Evolution
worked fine.
"Solving Google Chrome's gpu-process error message in Ubuntu Linux" worked for me.
google-chrome --disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer
It disables GPU hardware acceleration. If software renderer is not in place, then the GPU process won't launch.
You need to delete configurations:
rm -rdf ~/.config/google-chrome
Also maybe you need to delete the cache:
rm -rdf ~/.cache/google-chrome
Please note that this will reset your google chrome completely. Just like you installed it fresh.
