I am having some problems starting Google Chrome on Ubuntu 18.04, and it seems to have something to do with my GPU driver--however, I do not know for sure.
I tried google-chrome
from the command line, and it gave me the following;
theo@nitrates:~$ google-chrome
[29617:29617:1003/171104.939355:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(379)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.

Some important things to note:
- There seems to be (some) unpredictability in this issue. Several times I have simply clicked on chrome or started it from the command line, and it starts up just fine. It is almost as if it goes through phases of working and not working.
- There seems to be a slightly higher rate of success when attempting to start it right after the computer has restarted / woken up from being shut down.
- This is a MacBook Pro from 2010 (15 inch retina), with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M and the "Intel HD Graphics with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM" as per this site.

Tried google-chrome --use-gl=osmesa --disable-gl-drawing-for-tests

Hello @Theodore Weld. Did you see this issue in previous versions of google chrome? or just after and upgrade to a newer version?
â Goro

@Goro I do not know if this has something to do with an update necessarily. Currently I am on 69.0.3497.92 and have not ever updated it myself since installation.

Yeah so it seems that that file does not exist, I will update my answer with the error as that would be a nicer way to see it.

I would suggest that you do the following:
1) Check whether you have "libgles2-mesa" installed? If not, then install it.
2) Try disabling GPU-accelerated compositing under the flag "--use-gl=osmesa" using the command:
google-chrome --use-gl=osmesa --disable-gl-drawing-for-tests

Hello @Theodore Weld. Did you see this issue in previous versions of google chrome? or just after and upgrade to a newer version?

@Goro I do not know if this has something to do with an update necessarily. Currently I am on 69.0.3497.92 and have not ever updated it myself since installation.

Yeah so it seems that that file does not exist, I will update my answer with the error as that would be a nicer way to see it.
