Chromium closes when choosing a file to upload.

[balanga]

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

I need to select a file before updating firmware on a Teltonika RUT955 as per instructions here:-

https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUT9xx_Firmware_via_The_Bootloader_Menu.

When I select Choose File, Chromium immediately closes.

What could be the problem? I using Chromium Version 119.0.6045.199 on FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE AMD64.

This seems to be a bit of a red herring...

Looking at /var/messages shows that chrome exited on signal 6.

Just need to check what that actually means...

You can start the chrome via xterm and see the error output when it close.

Signal 6 is abort(), which most likely is an uncaught C++ exception.

I seem to recall that we had the same problem before.

How do I do that?

I normally start chrome from LXDE via the apps->Internet->Chromium launcher.

 

[VladiBG]

open the terminal and run chromium via the command line

I didn't know you could do that...

I have just tested this with https://arie.ls/filetest/ and chromium 120.0.6099.224, no issues.

It looks like the problem is at my end. Maybe too little memory....
