Error in Chromium when opening Youtube and other pages like Spotify

After updating I get this error in Chromium ( 100.0.4896.127 (Build oficial) Arch Linux (64 bits) ) when opening Youtube (and other pages like Spotify):

Error code: SIGSEGV

I have tried several things but without much success. I’m using Firefox while I’m trying to fix it.

Update

when checking dmesg I found this:

chromium[156451]: segfault at 18 ip 00007fb46e0e45e2 sp 00007ffc22a597b0 error 4 in libfreetype.so.6.18.2[7fb46e0be000+82000]

Solution

I installed the google-chrome package from AUR.

1 aur/google-chrome 100.0.4896.127-1 (+2129 24.08) 
The popular and trusted web browser by Google (Stable Channel)

And it is working fine. I’ll keep an eye out for a chromium update to fix the problem.

@linuxmanr4

Maybe this?

Enable this:

chrome://flags/#force-major-version-to-minor

run chromium on command-line. you should be able to get more meaningful error/stack-trace that you can report

Well I tried, but even the test shows me the same error.

I tried starting chromium with this command:

chromium youtube.com --enable-logging --v=1

And here is the result

But I think it is more likely a problem with libfreetype.so.6.18.2

I will continue to investigate a solution, I will let you know if I find it.

well don’t you see that error? Most likely that gpu acceleration is here the problem.

I found a temporary solution.

I installed google-chrome from AUR. It’s not chromium but works.
