chromium wont start after dist-upgrade

[mmoalem]

OK had some issues with VNC - been adviced to update - this fixed vnc but caused my lxpanel to disappear - after many hours finally found an advice to dist-upgrade - that fixed it but now chromium wont start - running from terminal i get:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 689: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

any ideas?

Running

Code: Select all

apt-get dist-upgrade

on Raspbian has been problematic. You might try

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove chromium && sudo apt-get install chromium 

. If that doesn't clear up your issues, a fresh install of the latest Raspbian after backing up your data is probably your safest bet.

I'd use

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge chromium && sudo apt-get install chromium

as "remove" only removes the software and leaves the configuration files behind. "purge" deletes those files as well.

In fact I'd go as far as suggesting

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge chromium
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
sudo apt-get -y install chromium

as that will delete all traces of any dependent packages as well.

What it won't do is to remove any user specific config files that have been generated. That will call for a manual search/destroy mission, if needed.

Should be some of those files in .config and that's it. Everything else should be in /etc/chromium-browser or /usr/lib/chromium-browser of course
