For the last couple of days I have the following problem with google chrome:
When I start chrome, it opens the normal window but the web page is only a white page. I can not use the menu to open the settings or use chrome://settings in the address field to open the settings. Also chrome eats up all my cpu.
I am running Ubuntu 22.04 on my XPS 13 - 9310.
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy
I found the setting --enable-logging on some pages and started chrome with this flag. It produces the following log file:
$ batcat -p .config/google-chrome/chrome_debug.log

The Version of Chrome is
google-chrome --version
Google Chrome 106.0.5249.119
On another page I found the flag --no-sandbox.
When I use this flag to start chrome, it is working.
Is there a way to permanently set this flag inside the settings?
When using the flag I can go to the settings and see it is disabled. When I not using the flag I am not able to open the settings too disable it.
- Is there a way to fix the problem when running without this flag?
