yesterday Chromium 52 appeared in Debian stabIe, and I upgraded Chromium on my LMDE2 laptop from version 51 to 52. After that it did not start, and when started from a terminal I got a list of messages beginning with "FATAL:material_design_controller.cc(69)] Check failed:", followed by about ten lines with numbers, and an exit message. I can't reproduce this at the moment because I downgraded Chromium to version 51, what worked and now works again fine. But when necessary I can upgrade Chromium again and post the complete messages. On the web I found very few stuff about "material design", it seems to be a special thing in Chromium code. Is there a solution or workaround, or ist this a real bug in Chromium?
The system is a full up-to-date LMDE2 64-bit (German localized) with Cinnamon 3.06, fresh installed 2 weeks ago from the original ISO, but on old hardware (7-years-old Acer laptop, CPU Celeron 575 with Intel graphics). The stubborn Chromium version is 52.0.2743.82-1~deb8u1.
EDIT1: I have Openbox on this computer. Under Openbox, Chromium52 can be launched without problems. Opera39 (same browser engine als Chromium) has the same behaviour, with similar error messages when launched under Cinnamon. Problem with Cinnamon?
EDIT2: List of messages when Chromium52 is launched:
Code: Select all
