I installed 2-3 times google-chrome-stable, it always crashes with the same message:
❯ google-chrome-stable
chrome_crashpad_handler: --database is required
Try 'chrome_crashpad_handler --help' for more information.
[43335:43335:0310/130743.180330:ERROR:socket.cc(120)] recvmsg: Connection reset by peer (104)
[1] 43335 trace trap (core dumped) google-chrome-stable
any idea why?
googling it didn’t help so far.
According to https://askubuntu.com/questions/803068/google-chrome-not-starting-aborted-core-dumped :
I had the same issue and someone advised me to remove ~/.gtkrc-2.0 which did fix it for me. No idea why though.
So try that to see if it works.
Note:
I don’t use chrome, or care for it really, so there’s no way for me to test this…
~
❯ rm -rf ~/.gtkrc-2.0

that’s what you meant, right?
It is yes, but I see this also:
…so see what happens when you do exactly that:
google-chrome-stable --database
Also, since it’s from the AUR, did you rebuild it after the last update, like you should have?
pamac build google-chrome
yeah, tried that before. nothing happens.

Try with a clean profile.
To delete the current one:
rm -fr ~/.config/google-chrome
Note:
This will permanently delete all your settings and customisations.
that fixed it, thank you!
( I probably lost all of the history, but that’s fine. Firefox and Brave are my main browsers )
