I'm building CrOS on Linux with chromeos=1, which previously worked; however, starting yesterday (possibly earlier) all I see when I run the Chrome binary is an empty black window. Am I missing a new required step?

Thanks,

James

I've had this problem on ToT builds before, and running chrome with the --ui-use-gpu-process usually fixed it for me. I don't know the real reason for the problem though.

Thanks,

Unfortunately --ui-use-gpu-process did not work for me. Anyone else building with chromeos=1 on Linux (successfully)? Note that I'm on gprecise, so that may be the errant variable.

My apologies: after waiting a while (~minutes), the UI showed up.

I'm building on Linux with chromeos=1 and things work fine. Feel free to stop by my desk or poke in my homedir to see what differs. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.

Indeed, a bug has been filed already - http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=122879
