I have one problem: I get "Aw, Snap!" crashes periodically in current Google Chrome stable? I think it is related to the proprietary AMD display driver which I installed through Settings/Additional Drivers. Running an AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB GDDR5 PCIe graphic card with Xubuntu 15.04 64Bit "fglx-updates" through Additional Drivers. The computer is 100% stable other than then Google Chrome "Aw, Snap!" crashes. Anyone know how to fix this, thanks! </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Have you tried with the radeon driver, to see if the crashes happen then? Also, try running Chrome from a shell with "--help" to see if it has any "--debug" or "--verbose" options, and then running Chrome (again from a shell) with those to see what happens when the crash occurs. That might provide more details. Is this consistent when you do something specific, or does it happen randomly? Petter </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">Hi, Thanks for the response. I don't think Google Chrome was crashing with "Aw, Snap!" with the open-source Radeon driver. The problem is that I must run the proprietary AMD display driver because I use VMWare Player. (I run a Windows 8 virtual machine and the proprietary driver is required) I'll run Google Chrome from terminal and will report any error messages. Hope we can solve this problem! </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> What version of the driver are you using? The last one that is included in the Ubuntu repos seems to be 15.2, newer versions are available from AMD. They can be a pain to deal with, but look at this site for a lot of information on this driver: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page">http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page</a> Under "Driver Releases" on the left you will find a list of all versions, the latest one mentioned there is 15.5. Instructions are on the site. Another option would of course be to migrate your Windows VM to KVM, maybe even VirtualBox. I've personally converted VMware Windows images to qcow2 images for KVM with qemu-img with great success. Xen might be another option, but I'm not familiar with that. It's supposed to be good at PCI passthrough, which might help if it's graphics performance you're after. But do the "--debug" or "--verbose" thing first, and look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log after a crash to see if anything has registered there. If the driver is involved, there might be some trace of it. kern.log might also be a place to look for troubles with the driver kernel module.
