Google Chrome crashes with file uploads

Any time I try to upload a file to Facebook or Tumblr with google chrome it crashed.

From the terminal this is the error I get.

/usr/bin/google-chrome: /lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available

Any ideas? I'm running OpenSuse 11.3..
 
That library is related to compression, did you upgrade zlib recently? Although I don't think that's directly related to the error itself unless you have a backtrace or something pointing to it as well.
 
My bad... this is what happens..


/proc/self/exe: /lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe)

It's not, it happens with or w/o it, apparently this file libz.so.1 has no versioning on it but the Ubuntu build does.

If I find lib.so.1 from Ubuntu, could I just copy and paste it into my machine???

I downloaded libz.so.1.2.5 and compiled it and loaded that.... doesn't work either. I'm installing Ubuntu in a VM and am gonna try..

Also, the crash only seems to happen when I try to open a folder with jpgs in it.

Well that theory goes out the window.

I at least got all the libz errors out.... I copied the libz out of Ubuntu 10.10 build and linked libz.so.1 --> libz.so.1.2.3.4 from ubuntu.

Now when I attempt to open a folder with a jpg I just get a

Segmentation fault

in the terminal. No effing idea where to go from there.
 
I also run gnome/opensuse 11.3 and chrome at work. I find it crashes at selecting the file using a chooser/dialog, but a lot of times you can get around that by dragging the file in to the path-box from nautilus, for example. I guess I was never bothered enough to look at any output to figure it out though.

i.e. When uploading stuff on bbzzdd.
 
I'm isolating it to libjpeg.so..... no idea what to do. One solution claims libjppeg turbo will fix it. I compiled the code and set a symbolic link from libjpeg.so.62 to libjpegturbo and Chrome won't load... so I put it back and it did.

I'll try that out Goober but I'd like it to work right, this is a simple function and it sucks that it doesn't work 🙁
 
There was a Stable Channel Update today...

I can't remember the last time Chrome crashed on me (if ever). Maybe it's a 64-bit issue!?!?!
 
I don't know if Chrome has crashed for me ever, but plugins and/or individual tabs have crashed - maybe it's the upload app on facebook that is crashing?
