Google Chrome crashing after file upload

us flag
user227495

I have been experiencing this issue for over a month now on 22.04. To make sure that things are ok, I downloaded a new .deb, uninstalled the old one and reinstalled Google Chrome.

But whenever I upload something, Google Chrome will freeze. It only goes away if I use System Monitor to kill the crashpad in the listing.

Not just Google Chrome, I am facing an identical issue with Vivaldi as well. But Firefox, which exists in the same machine works without any issues. I think Vivaldi is based on Chromium and hence the issue.

Also, the file uploads are successful when I check later.

I have dual boot Windows 10 where everything works fine. Any help will be great.

Edit 1:

From var/log/syslog

vivaldi-stable.desktop[10410]: [10405:10405:1219/041714.220540:ERROR:CONSOLE(0)] "Uncaught (in promise) Error: A listener indicated an asynchronous response by returning true, but the message channel closed before a response was received", source: chrome-extension://mpognobbkildjkofajifpdfhcoklimli/browser.html (0)

Edit 3:

Looks like the JS blocking extension in Opera was the root cause. Now Vivaldi is responding properly. But I am still having issues adding attachments to Gmail in Google Chrome

Edit 4:

The issue persists in full form. The latest from var/log/syslog for chrome after uninstalling Opera.

I uninstalled Opera and uninstalled all extensions from Chrome and Vivaldi. The issue persists though.

Is there anything written to `/var/log/syslog` that might explain the issue? These things usually leave some sort of hint behind unless the I/O subsystem is completely saturated

@matigo it has some reference to an extension. I am not sure which. Please see the edited post.

I removed all extensions from Chrome, Vivaldi and Chromium. And, shutdown and again started the computer. But sadly, Vivaldi crashes when I download a file as well. I forgot to mention that not only upload, and downloading attachments are also causing this issue from the beginning. In the error log, I still see some (the same) extension causing the trouble. Is it some malware? I have Opera, is it Chromium based? I have a few extensions in that well.

JS block extension in Opera was having some issue. I removed that. But Google Chrome Gmail attachment is still freezing. :(

What does `echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` in a terminal tell you? And `/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal -v`?

`implementation supports org.freedesktop.impl.portal.FileChooser` is missing. What's the output of `apt list --installed "*desktop-portal*" | cut -d/ -f1`?

I'd give it a try with `sudo apt-get install --reinstall xdg-desktop-portal-gnome xdg-desktop-portal-gtk xdg-desktop-portal-tests xdg-desktop-portal`. Also if you have some flatpak apps installed I'd give `flatpak repair && flatpak uninstall --unused` a try. While `xdg-desktop-portal-tests` is not really necessary but you can give it a try.

I forgot to mention that it maybe would be better to run `sudo apt update && flatpak update` before.

It seems that implementation supports org.freedesktop.impl.portal.FileChooser is missing in /usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal.

It is provided by xdg-desktop-portal-gnome Also xdg-desktop-portal-gtk does provide a GTK+/GNOME implementation for the desktop-agnostic xdg-desktop-portal service.

You can install it with sudo apt-get install xdg-desktop-portal-gnome xdg-desktop-portal-gtk but I would also reinstall xdg-desktop-portal to make sure all dependencies will get updated. Because of the listed installed snaps shown in your post you could install xdg-desktop-portal-tests as well. Just open a terminal and run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall xdg-desktop-portal-gnome xdg-desktop-portal-gtk xdg-desktop-portal-tests xdg-desktop-portal

Good luck,

I think you missed a small part of the command which you shared through the comment : `sudo apt-get install --reinstall xdg-desktop-portal-gnome xdg-desktop-portal-gtk xdg-desktop-portal-tests xdg-desktop-portal`

I suggest you try the Chromium snap, this installs alongside any other Chrome / Chromium that you have, there is no need to remove them.

For me it has been working fine on 22.04 and also 22.10.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
