After yesterdays update of chromium-browser from PPA repository my chromium won't start. I have tried that from command line and got segmentation fault while chromium was staring. Googling of this problem didn't solve that. But i found and article Chromium debugging and posted a bug on launchpad. In an hour Fabien replied that it's a known bug. In few hours user vthomasset has found a quick solution on how to solve that problem while developers will fix that in code.
You need to edit a file ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences with your favourite editor. And remove a line
"inspector_settings": "lastActivePanel:string:console\n".
So the lines in your config:
"webkit": {
"webprefs": {
"inspector_settings": "lastActivePanel:string:console\n"
}
}
after changes will look like:
"webkit": {
"webprefs": {
}
}
