chromium broken (almost entirely)

> And which version of Chromium were you using that broke?

16.0.912.77 (Developer Build 118311 Linux) Ubuntu 10.04

The one that came automatically by doing "aptitude install chromium".

I also can't use chromium 16.0.912.77 (Developer Build 118311 Linux) Ubuntu 10.04
Always get Pages Unresponsive error.

But fortunately, FireFox works great - no trouble. So lack of memory should not be the problem, nor is internet connection the problem.

I also uninstalled Chromium then turned off PC for a complete turn-on/reboot; then reinstalled Chromium using kpackagekit. It installed two packages: Chromium 16.0.912 and chromium-codec-ffmpeg

I can add that the problem started after I did some cleanup by using...
command "sudo apt-get purge firefox" (yes, I mean firefox b/c I was noticed that I had several older versions of firefox and wanted all old versions deleted)
Then "apt" displayed a message notifying me that there were several unused packages that could be removed using "autoremove"
So I used the command "sudo apt-get autoremove"

It is at this point, chromium died. I didn't pay any attention to which packages were removed, so I don't know their names.

And now a fresh/clean install of chromium doesn't fix the problem.

Any suggestions?

Purge chromium again. Then, in a console, remove the chromium configuration directory/files and the chromium cache directory/files with:

rm -R ~/.cache/chromium
rm -R ~/.config/chromium

Then reinstall chromium:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

chromium worked for months, but then it suddenly stopped working for yahoo.com and its own preferences page.

Yahoo mail is notorious for sporadic outages. They adopt a "ssshhh" policy believing nobody will notice.

Some people did notice...

rm -R ~/.config/chromium

Then reinstall chromium:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium

Did as you prescribed - no joy. Still getting error Pages Unresponsive. Deleting both the user profiles and the cache didn't help.

In addition, for others that tread behind. Don't use command "sudo apt-get install chromium" b/c you'll install a game.

You need to use the command: "sudo apt-get chromium-browser"

Ooops! Thank you. I've corrected my post.
