GAH! Frustration, google chrome, my thrustworthy companion everyday stopped working today. Segfaulted.

It happened after a reboot, it might have been that I hadnt restarted chrome for a week or two or something like that. The battery went dead which made it hard-reboot. After boot, chrome segfaulted, likely because the version got updated(not entirely sure yet).

I realized that there was a release today in the stable update channel, and figured I might as well try to upgrade to that one(15.0.874.120), the upgrade I had was probably a week or two old. But, no change. I changed the apt cache, and noticed I had google-chrome-stable_15.0.874.106-r107270_i386.deb in there, so I tried to revert to that. No change.

After some googling, I came across this post which seems to indicate a similar problem, and it hinted me to check dmesg. Dmesg tells me its a segfault in ligGL,

[  504.112676] chrome[9171]: segfault at 4 ip a841729c sp b1498600 error 4 in libGL.so.1.2[a83aa000+b4000]

I checked my version of libgl1-mesa-glx, and that was 7.7.1-5, I added backports for squeeze and installed 7.10.3-4~bpo60+1. No change though. Same segmentation fault.

I did some attempts with strace, but its mostly useless(for me) and no obvious place where it happens.

I even tried the beta channel of google chrome(16.0.912.32-r108990 now), but the same error is still there.

Not really sure where to go further, firefox feels like a downgrade when used to chrome imho. :)

Any hints?
