After today's update, Chrome-based browsers (Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi) will not open web pages (Marked resolved)

zoli62 · July 12, 2021, 4:33pm

After today’s update, Chrome-based browsers (Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi) will not open web pages. Firefox and Brave work fine. After deleting your Chrome profile directory and reinstalling your browser, the situation will remain the same. The problem also exists with the LTS kernel. Has anyone met anything like this?

dalto · July 12, 2021, 4:41pm

If you run the browsers from the terminal, do you see any errors there?

manuel · July 12, 2021, 5:11pm

Here Chrome and Vivaldi work OK.

Could the reason be some of your browser add-ons?

joekamprad · July 12, 2021, 5:41pm

no issue here too, must be something related to your setup.
as @dalto mentioned start it from terminal command line can give a hint.
Does browser give any error ?

grenouille · July 12, 2021, 5:45pm

Opera and Vivaldi are both okay here.

sliding_billy · July 12, 2021, 6:22pm

Agree with Manuel. Turn off all of your extensions, and then turn them on one at a time if turning them all off solves the issue. I have seen the need to uninstall and reinstall specific extensions a few times.

joekamprad · July 12, 2021, 6:33pm

indicates tha user tried already by that?

wordler · July 12, 2021, 8:28pm

If the user is using some kind of sync then extensions could get reloaded. I have that enabled in Firefox for convenience, not sure about Chromium-based browsers.

Vivaldi - fine
Vivaldi-Snapshot - Broken
Google Chrome - fine.

Cannot for the life of me work out the problem, tried moving my config out of the way, tried downgrading (snapshot), cannot get it to run.
This is what I updated:

cat 2021-07-12T18:24
emacs-native-comp-git 28.0.50.148908-1 -> 28.0.50.148919-1
inxi 3.3.04.1-1 -> 3.3.05.1-1
libvirt 1:7.3.0-1 -> 1:7.5.0-1
linux-lts 5.10.48-1 -> 5.10.49-1
linux-lts-headers 5.10.48-1 -> 5.10.49-1
neovim-git 0.5.0.r58.gc21a6972a-1 -> 0.5.0.r61.geece0735f-1
obsidian 0.12.5-1 -> 0.12.10-1
popsicle-git 1.3.0.r41.ged43b8d-1 -> 1.3.0.r42.gb889d40-1
python-cffi 1.14.5-1 -> 1.14.6-1
python-simplejson 3.17.2-4 -> 3.17.3-1
systemd 248.3-2 -> 249-3
systemd-libs 248.3-2 -> 249-3
systemd-resolvconf 248.3-2 -> 249-3
systemd-sysvcompat 248.3-2 -> 249-3
ttf-iosevka 7.2.7-1 -> 7.2.8-1
vivaldi-snapshot 4.1.2352.3-1 -> 4.1.2355.3-1

But it could be any update from ***:

Sat 10 Jul 20:55:40 BST 2021
Sun 11 Jul 12:04:40 BST 2021  
Mon 12 Jul 20:39:05 BST 2021

As I rebooted mid day yesterday and 8:39pm today

So the other updates I made:

.rw-r--r-- xircon xircon 240 B  Sun Jul 11 18:32:53 2021  2021-07-11T18:30
.rw-r--r-- xircon xircon 2.4 KB Sun Jul 11 20:02:15 2021  2021-07-11T20:01

One is completely innocent and one is lots of KDE stuff.

dalto · July 12, 2021, 9:06pm

Did you try downgrading vivaldi-snapshot to see if it is actually just broken? It is a snapshot build after all.

Other than that, my question is the same as for the above poster. What happens if you run it from a terminal?

xircon · July 12, 2021, 9:08pm

As stated, downgraded and moved config directory out of the way, currently running stable which is unaffected.

In the meantime, I also reproduced the case in question on another computer on which I also updated the EOS. The Chrome error message that is started in the terminal is: network_service_instance_impl.cc (331)] Network service crashed, restarting service. Based on that, I found this. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1973461

jruschme · July 13, 2021, 5:39pm

The TLDR on this is that something in the systemd 249 upgrade seems to break nss as used by chrome. Downgrading to 248 restores functionality.

zoli62 · July 14, 2021, 8:13am

That’s what I thought. Anyway, I’m waiting for the fix.

xircon · July 14, 2021, 6:11pm

@jruschme - which packages did you downgrade?

jruschme · July 14, 2021, 6:41pm

If I recall correctly, there were 4:

systemd
libsystemd
systemd-sysvcompat
lib32-libsystemd

You may not have the last one unless you have multilib enabled and are using something like wine. I think just downgrading systemd might be enough, but I did the others just to be safe.
