I experience the same issue.

Some additional info:
- I don't have NetworkManager installed at all.
- My proxy is configured via standard env-variables.
- If started on the commandline, it spits out the following on stderr:

[4251:4259:2272690513:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(239)] Failed to call method:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files

- If manually entering any URL, chrome apparently resolves *everything* to
127.0.0.1.
- DNS works perfectly with *everything* else.

So: PLEASE don't rely on NetworkManager - I now it's kind of cute - but not
for us nerds with multi-homed machines or otherwise fancy setups. If It
can't connect to the DBUS service, assume *online* state, or better make
the whole beast configurable so that we can disable it.

Not at all familiar with NetworkChangeNotifier on Linux, but looks like we
are indeed using NetworkManager if it's available:

// This implementation of NetworkChangeNotifier's offline state detection
// depends on D-Bus and NetworkManager, and is known to work on at least
// GNOME version 2.30. If D-Bus or NetworkManager are unavailable, this
// implementation will always behave as if it is online.

same problem here!
We are using chromium on a server (Ubuntu 12.04) to do selenium tests.
Chromium can't be launch with the same error : ERROR:object_proxy.cc(239)]

adamk: could you take a look at this? You added the Linux offline
state detection code (using org.freedesktop.NetworkManager) in
http://codereview.chromium.org/8575013. Thanks.

I don't think there's much we can do short of taking manfuin's suggestion
to add a flag to disable this for folks who run NetworkManager but don't
let it manage all connections. Unless we want to stop using the
NetworkManager solution altogether and roll something more low-level
ourselves.

For those that use Network-manager: I fixed this problem yesterday using
the following solution for Debian 6.x, Gnome 2.x window manager, and Google
Chrome Stable. The problem seemed to be an issue between Gnome's
network-manager and Google Chrome accessing Google Drive:

Implement the change above: comment out the line with NetworkManager in
/etc/network/interfaces like this:

#NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp

save, reboot, and enjoy!

As i wrote earlier: Regardles of which mechanism you come up with, PLEASE
add an option which allows the user to switch off any atomatic. Linux users
usually KNOW if they are online or offline.

Use Netlink instead of NetworkManager (via D-bus) to monitor network
connectivity on Linux.
