all,<br>
<br>
I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on on an Acer Aspire
5715Z (Intel T2390 with 2Gb of RAM).<br>
<br>
I am experiencing a weird problem:<br>
<br>
Every time I open Google and visit the Extensions
Gallery, the whole Unity Desktop crashes. Restarting
the LightDM service doesn't help and I have to
reboot the machine.<br>
<br>
I tried to delete the profile directory under
$HOME/.local/google-chrome/ - same...<br>
<br>
Another weird problem - every time I enter the
desktop I have to unlock the Login Keyring, although
I have changed the password to a blank password....<br>
<br>
This is a friends computer, whom I convinced Ubuntu
is the best OS to replace Windows...<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Amichai.<br>

The first thing I would try is disabling Chrome hardware
acceleration, at Settings: Show advanced settings:
(un-check) Use hardware acceleration when available.<br>
<br>
I would not expect it to be related to the Login Keyring
problem though, unless that was crash damage. (And I
don't have any advice about this second problem.)<br>

<div>I know of an open bug for Chromium <a

<div>But strangely enough on my hardware I haven't seen the
crash (really more of a screen lock-up) in plain Unity, in
either Chrome or Chromium. In Chromium I noticed the
crash only after I installed alternative desktops --
lubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu. I'm not sure which one might
have been the trigger, but I also had other problems with
screensavers and login managers seemingly stepping over
each other.</div>

I have had Chrome "lock up" my system <Ubuntu 14.04.2 Chrome

was that a flash game that I played was doing it. Since I stopped
keeping that game open in a tab when I'm not playing it or any other
flash, I haven't had any lock ups.<br>
