Chrome Broken after current update

This morning, right off the bat, updated to latest update and chrome is broken. Attached is an example screenshot of what my Chrome Settings screen looks like. I’m running chrome 114.0.5735.90-2, latest stable release from aur.

Everything in Chrome is broken and ugly, things don’t render, videos are jerky and grainy. So, far, everything else seems to work well. Firefox looks exactly as I would expect and videos play flawlessly.

~~~ snipped from here

Just installed the chrome beta from AUR, works perfectly. I can work with that for now, but still strange that a functioning browser would break after a system update.

I just made a post before seeing this on the same exact issue. Glad to see it isn’t just mine. Is the Beta version secure?

I can’t think of a reason why it would be insecure aside maybe from incomplete testing.

Likely its the profile/gpucache fragmented.

Folks can fix this by using a clean profile or

rm -r ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/GPUCache

Ummmm:

rm: cannot remove '/home/username/.config/google-chrome/Default/GPUCache': No such file or directory

Well … is that the path of your profile?

ls ~/.config/google-chrome

For people with multiple profiles:

/home/username/.config/google-chrome/Profile\ 1/

So, perhaps a command like

rm ~/.config/google-chrome/Profile*/GPUCache/*

will clear the GPUCache in all profiles?

I am not a shell script expert :slight_smile: can you confirm that this would work?

Looks good to me.
