[SOLVED] Google chrome/chromium freezing when typing in address bar

Hello again everyone, sorry to bother you.
Im using Arch 64 bit + kde.
Recently my chromium began freezing at random when I begin typing in the address bar. Since it persisted after several updates I installed google chrome beta from AUR, and the problem persists there. I've tried deleting the configuration directory to no avail.
I am a web developer and therefore this is kind of extremely annoying, I need more browsers than just Firefox so I thought about asking your help, are there any of you with a 64 bit arch system in which chrome works flawlessly? Did you do anything special?
Im beggining to think this is a chrome bug:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/C … 253b&hl=en
I found as well an old thread here in the forums:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129632
But I decided to not be a thread necromancer.
My google chrome version is: 18.0.1025.39 beta
My chromium version is: 17.0.963.56
I'm willing to recompile this thing if you think that will help, but I've heard horrible stories about compiling chrome. Any help will be tremendously appreciated.

yes, my card is nvidia 8600GT.
This morning I spent a few experiments.
1. I noticed that if you run full-screen application (game), then when you try to switch to the console - is a black screen without text, a problem arises as in KDE and in xfce, if you switch to the console without running full screen applications, the when switching to the console you can see the shell prompt to login (enter your login and password), both in KDE and in xfce.
I tried to remove the option "VGA = 773" from the boot parameter has the kernel (GRUB), and the problem with switching to the console was gone.
2. I made a nvidia-xconfig, creating a file /etc/x11/xorg.conf, rebooted (with the VGA = 773), and logged in to KDE user denis (yes my name is Denis too ), the name of my new account, the name of the old - user0), and the Problem with switching to the console was gone, at least for now.
I think that the Problem with chromium somehow connected with the fact that the video card is Nvidia and its mode of operation, which hurt when you log in to your account.
How does chromium in KDE in your account until Dennis, I have not tested that particular - will be tested, the result accomplish your goal.
So try to remowe vga=773 from kernel line, and and see how it will work chromium.
But i still dont know, why chromium work fine in xfce, but freezing in KDE...

Safari 5 Crashing on Windows 7 x64 when typing in address bar.

As stated in the subject, the problem I have with Safari 5 is when I try to type in the address bar. Safari simply crashes with this log:

What seems strange is that everything else works fine. I can check my rss feeds and I can even type into the google search bar and pull up the website I need. I just can't use the address bar. I'm thinking this might have to do with the new features in Safari 5 but I don't know enough to pin it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This seems to be an issue for other users as well.
Edit: I Have "Reset Safari" and it seems to be working for now. I'll give it a while and see what happens. I thought it was strange that I should have to do this but I read it on another post. It seems to be working so far. Perhaps there is something else though that is crashing it? I'll leave this open until I get a response.

I had this exact problem on Windows XP. As soon as I tried typing in the address bar, crash. Every single time. I also reset everything and it stopped the constant crashes related to the address bar. It still seems much less stable than Safari 4, as I cannot got more than a couple hours without a random crash still occurring.
I have reset Safari again and went a step further and uninstalled it, uninstalled all Apple software, deleted all Apple data from Documents and Setting (All users and my user), reinstalled Safari (and iTunes, mobileme control pane, etc)...still crashing frequently, usually at least once an hour but never less than once every couple hours.

Keyboard freezes when typing on iPad.

is anyone else experiencing the screen keyboard freezing when typing a Google search or on an Internet blog?

To things that seem to have helped folks with this problem is a reset of all settings followed by a reset of the device.
1. Use the Settings app to reset all settings.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
2. Reset your device like this. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
Hopefully that fixes your problem.

[SOLVED] Google Chrome vs Chromium

A few months ago while visiting Youtube, I noticed it was asking me to install google chrome. So I realized the Linux version is finally out. So I googled for it and installed it on my Ubuntu laptop under the name of google-chrome. Then I tried to install it on my 64 bit Arch Linux machine. I googled for it, but didn't find anything. I tried to search for it on pacman, but I only found Chromium. I installed it, and it looked exactly the same as my google-chrome on ubuntu.
Today, I got confused whether or not chromium is the same as google-chrome. I read somewhere that chromium is the ported version of windows google-chrome for Linux while there's a separate version of google-chrome for linux, named google-chrome. I don't find any differences between my google-chrom on ubuntu and chromium on Arch, but I'm really confused.
Would be glad if someone tells me what is what.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I just found my answer at: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/ … ogleChrome

Yep that link explains it all straight from the horses mouth so to speak.
Basically chromium is the open source projected created by Google and google-chrome is a slightly modified version, google branded version of the browser that comes in binary form.

Typing freezes when typing in a text field

When typing in a text field (commenting on a blog for example) the typing freezes if i try to backspace or move to cursor to add/correct something. How can I fix this? This happens in Safari, but when I tried Chrome I had the same problem!

Sorry just saw you were running iOS 6.
To quit all apps in iOS 6, Double tap the Home button, hold an app icon until it wiggles then tap the for each app that is open. then try the reset.
If that does not help you may want to try restoring.
Be sure toi backup first.
If restoring from a backup does not solve the problem then restore as a new device.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device

[SOLVED] Google Chrome does not work on my T61

SOLVED. THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE OF SYMANTEC ENDPOINT PROTECTION.
Hello Everyone.
I wonder if anyone can use Google Chrome on T61.
I got my T61 from Hong Kong 5 months ago and I am using Windows Vista SP1 32 Bit Traditional Chinese.
After I installed Google Chrome, it couldn' t connect to any websites. I had tried to uninstall it and even reinstall my computer, but it still doesn't work. The Internet Explorer does work.
Surprisingly, I can connect to different websites using Google Chrome when I use Windows XP on Virtual PC. It seems that it's related to the OS itself. I will try to use Vista on Virtual PC, but I hope that you guys will be able to solve my problem.
Thanks you very much.

It might be helpful to provide some more details such as: will it not install?, will it install and not run?, will it run but give error message?, etc, etc, etc.
Another option may be to use the Google Chrome Help site which has

[SOLVED] Google Chrome doesn't render page after lost focus in Awesome

Hello !
I have installed fresh Arch Linux with linux-ck and awesome. After that I have installed google-chrome-stable and started it. Everything works well, but if I opened other application (chrome lost focus) and then got back to the chrome, it freezes. Mouce cursor worked as expected (cursor changed after hovering link, input field, etc) but view was not updated.
Everything works well again if I change desktop to the second and go back to the first again (mod+2, mod+1). Chrome works, responses etc well.
bvg
Did you met something like that ? How can I fix it ?
Edit:
I bet this issue has something in common with hw acceleration. If I run some game on steam, lost focus, got back to the game - it show last rendered screen before focus has been lost (sound is ok, game is responsible but not updates screen).
I use nvidia. Do I need some extra configuration to handle it ?

The problem was `xcompmgr` which caused "freezing" view. I switched it to `unagi` and all of the problems have gone.

WHen I try searching by typing in address bar, I found yahoo as my default search engine which I want to be changed to google.

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/816389]''
There are 3 different options for searching in Mozilla
# Open Google.com and start searching
# Enter your search string in Search bar
# Enter you text in address bar and press space bar and then press enter.
Now when I try to search through address bar then I found yahoo as my default search engine which I want to be changed to Google.com
Please tell me the way of changing this.

This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

[SOLVED] google-chrome update fails

Hi,
Apologies if this is a dumb-basic problem, but for some reason chrome is not updating via pacaur.
I noticed chrome was complaining about being an unsupported version in gmail, and I realised my google-chrome-stable was v38, so I went to update it in pacaur...
pacaur -S google-chrome
:: Package(s) google-chrome not found in repositories, trying AUR...
:: resolving dependencies...
:: looking for inter-conflicts...
AUR Packages (1): google-chrome-43.0.2357.81-1
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
:: Retrieving package(s)...
:: View google-chrome PKGBUILD? [Y/n] n
[sudo] password for timbeauhk:
/usr/bin/pacaur: line 720: cd: /tmp/pacaurtmp-timbeauhk/google-chrome: No such file or directory
:: Building google-chrome package(s)...
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.
:: Could not clean google-chrome
I have just performed a pacman -Syu and all updated.
I have rebooted, even though this should not be necessary.
chrome was not running at the time.
It is likey some other fundamental error/mistake on my part, as not being able to change directory is a pretty basic step to fail on, and hints at a silent mkdir failure?
The dir and privs, from a root perspective, are as follows:
[root@machine timbeauhk]# ls -al /tmp/pacaurtmp-timbeauhk/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 timbeauhk users 60 Jun 6 13:04 .
drwxrwxrwt 8 root root 180 Jun 6 13:40 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 timbeauhk users 61 Jun 6 13:05 rpc.json
Ideas would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

TS2755 Messages is freezing when typing and trying to send

Yesterday my text messages was working fine, but this morning, it's kind of intermittent. Most of the time it freezes on me when trying to type the message. It also freezes when i touch a txt that i want to reply too. I did a hard reset a couple of times, I also reset my network connections. Any other tips on what I can do? Is there going to be a new updgrade? Never had this problem before the upgrade to IOS7.

Apple is aware of the issue and is expected to release 7.0.3 next week to address iMessage issues.
I know you tried to reset the network settings but did you disable iMessage first?
Try this:
1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

How to disable auto lookup when typing in address

I don't like the new automatic lookup that happens when I type a web address. For example, if I start typing google.com it comes up with new.google.com. I don't want it to search within the text. I am not one of those people who thinks the address is a search box. I know what address I want to go to. I don't use bookmarks. I just want it to start with the letters I type in (except www).
If I type goo it should come up with www.google.com but not new.google.com.

HI Gregg,
About the only thing you can do for the time being to avoid this is use Private Browsing which you can enable from the Safari Menu Bar. Click Safari/Private Browsing. Safari won't remember pages you visit, search history or your AutoFill information from which Safari fetches data from when you type a url in the address bar.
Providing feedback here will help.

When typing an address in the location bar and pressing enter, nothing happens and the site does not load. How can I fix this?

When I type a new URL in the address bar (or location bar), and I either type the complete URL or select from the drop down list, nothing happens. I hit enter, and the website does not load in the current tab, new tab nor in a new window. Exactly the same when I hit the green arrow to the right of the address bar. I am using Firefox 8, and all my add-ins are up to date.
It has been working before. The setting to get Firefox to open new pages in a new tab from the address bar is there, so it should open a new tab. But I get nothing at all!
Please help, how can I fix this?
Thanks,
James.

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
