Hi,

Thanks for the report. I could use more details:





Thanks,

Are you using KDE or Gnome (or something else) for the desktop environment? Wayland or X? If Wayland, did you enable wayland support in chromium or not (eg, running 'chromium --ozone-platform-hint=auto' or changing that in chromium's settings)? Did this behavior start with 135.0.7049.95-1~deb12u1, or was it present in earlier versions? The description you provided does make it sound like a gpu driver issue. I suspect that firmware-amd-graphics from backports is intended to be paired with the linux kernel from backports. so I'd suggest trying to either downgrade to the bookworm version, or upgrading your kernel to 6.12 from backports and seeing if that fixes the issue.

Dear Maintainer,

If I run Chromium in the terminal, the following output appears:

Starting Chromium shows the icon in my task manager and an invisible window which is unusable. Apparently if I wait long enough, the program does become visible but I should not have to wait so long for the program to function. I even tried clearing out my ~/.config/chromium and this did not solve anything.

I am running Debian Bookworm. Since I see GPU errors appeared later in the output, I'd like to note that I am running the bookworm-backports versions of "firmware-amd-graphics" and "nvidia-driver-full". I expect Chromium to start up, be visible, and be usable within a few seconds. Instead, Chromium starts, but is invisible for a rather long time, and is unusable during that time. GPU errors that I seem to face only on Chromium are likely the cause of this.  APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set ii  chromium-common 135.0.7049.95-1~deb12u1 ii  libfreetype6  2.12.1+dfsg-5+deb12u4 ii  libxml2 2.9.14+dfsg-1.3~deb12u1
