google-chrome and microsoft-edge crash on Ubuntu 23.04

ca flag

The error log:

[22102:22102:0426/015135.602783:ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(255)] Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2)
...
[22102:22102:0426/015135.604397:ERROR:gbm_wrapper.cc(255)] Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2)

The errors show up on a brand-new install of xubuntu 23.04 on older hardware (Xeon, Nvidia G218, nouveau driver, so no graphic acceleration, xfce/xfwm). (OP: did you see them under gnome?)

Launched from the command line, both google-chrome and microsoft-edge hang; the above errors show up and no window is opened, but there is no coredump or return to the console prompt (need to ctrl-C to get back).

chromium installed as a snap, under about://gru reports the exact same messages under Log Messages (at the end) but chromium itself runs perfectly fine.

The errors under chromium appear benign, under chrome or edge cause a catastrophic hang.

Seen on first launches for both, but tried deleting the ~/.config/chrome and ~/.config/edge as suggested elsewhere, no effect.

Tried to launch chrome --disable-features=TFLiteLanguageDetectionEnabled that is used by the snap chromium (again as reported by about://gru), no effect.

I have this problem too (using 23.04 with an nVidia card). As a workaround, I've turned off hardware acceleration (Settings > System > Use hardware acceleration when available -> turn off). Perhaps you can try that and see if it resolves the issue.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
