Chromium freezing...

Just to add: I'm too am experiencing similar weirdness as depicted in the screenshot above, although generally it'll freeze up before getting that bad.

This is with:

Code: 
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=0

and chromium-24.0.1312.56

sim
 
I am running FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE amd64.

Installing www/chromium Version 24.0.1312.56 made the freezing problem worse for me. I am running with the recommended
Code: 
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1

Prior to the update I would have one tab freeze up on me. Closing the tab and reopening it would always clear the problem. Today, I had all 14 open tabs freeze up on me. I could not even get a tab to open to show the settings. Killing www/chromium and restarting did not help. Most of the tabs would not refresh and those that did refresh were non functional. For example, GMail opened and displayed my default page, but I could not select any options. Other Google services like Drive, Play, Reader and Calendar would not even open in a tab. Other non-Google sites (e.g., Fidelity, Bloomberg, FreeBSD home/forums) exhibited the same problem.

I had to reboot to get www/chromium working again.
 
The latest Chromium does not freeze on me, but I'm experiencing the occasional "whitescreen". The main window of the browser is empty, but everything appears to work, links load (according to tab information), menus work. There's just nothing displayed in the browser's main screen. Restarting Chromium doesn't work, restarting X doesn't work. I have to reboot. Meanwhile, Firefox and other apps have no problem, though VLC seems to show interface problems as well. It appears to affect something in the underlying OS, not X.
 
Yes, I have the same issue. Increasing kern.ipc.shmall helps, but only for a while.
When it happens, there are also issues with QT applications (QT compiled with QGTKSTYLE on XFCE) not displaying correctly.
 
I'm suffering the same issues here - it seems like the increased limits help but do not eliminate the problem.

Code: 
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed: 1
kern.ipc.shm_use_phys: 0
kern.ipc.shmall: 131072
kern.ipc.shmseg: 1024
kern.ipc.shmmni: 1024
kern.ipc.shmmin: 1
kern.ipc.shmmax: 67108864
 
Last two days I didn't experience problems with chromium-24.0.1312.56:

Code: 
pacija@kaa:~ % sysctl -a | grep shm
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed: 0
kern.ipc.shm_use_phys: 0
kern.ipc.shmall: 131072
kern.ipc.shmseg: 1024
kern.ipc.shmmni: 1024
kern.ipc.shmmin: 1
kern.ipc.shmmax: 536870912
kern.features.sysv_shm: 1
kern.features.posix_shm: 1
 
I began having this problem with all pages blank yesterday, so rebuilt www/chromium overnight, and it continued today. Adding pacija's sysctl settings and running ipcrm -W fixes it, but chrome seems a little flaky afterwards, with the scrollbar not always going to the bottom. After using it for a while with a dozen or so tabs open, pages start freezing up again, and ipcrm -W fixes it again, but eventually it comes back.

chromium-24.0.1312.56
9.0-RELEASE amd64
 
I have this problem toooo.

OS: FreeBSD ThinkPad 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #0 r245979
OS & chrome are compiled by clang.

And, if you meet this issue, here is a simple way to fix it without restart system or xorg:

Code: 
#/bin/sh

ipcs -mo | sed '1,2d' | sed '/^$/d' | while read line
do
    nproc=`echo $line | cut -f7 -w -s`
    if [ $nproc -eq 0 ]; then
        id=`echo $line | cut -f2 -w`
        ipcrm -m $id
    fi
done
 
I assigned ipcrm -W to the [Ctl] + [\] key combination. Works fine.
 
I had the 'blank page' issue as well. It has started working properly again with just
Code: 
kern.ipc.shmall=131072

I only went that far because the latter two sysctl variables are read-only/boot-time options.

I also added the
Code: 
kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1
value just for the recommended UI improvement (GMail rendering seems better).
 
I have the same issue, this is where I see the "stutter" I was previously referring to. I set the sysctl variable and I will see if it makes a difference.
 
I am still having some issues. I use Google Calendar and many times when trying to edit the calendar Chromium will not allow me to enter text, or when it does it is very laggy. Many times I have to opened and reopened Chromium to edit my calendar. Is anyone else experiencing something like this?
