Since last week, Google chrome stopped working on my Ubuntu 22.10 Laptop. When starting Chrome, I get a white page loading and 30 seconds later a popup saying page Unresponsive. Same issue with other websites and even the settings page (white page, loading, then unresponsive popup).

I had to make some links for CA Certificates to make Citrix Workspace work from FireFox CA file path. This might be the cause but I don't know what I messed up there... Only followed procedures to make Citrix work...

My system:

  • Ubuntu 22.10
  • Intel 11th gen CPU.
  • Graphic Card Integrated Iris
  • Wayland

Troubleshoot so far:

  • Logged in Xorg instead of Wayland (Same issue)
  • Running google-chrome-stable from bash terminal in a wayland session get me an error at beginning "libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)". No errors on Xorg but same issue
  • Tried purging, reinstalling Gogole Chrome
  • Updated system certificates (sudo update-ca-certificates)
  • Reinstall drivers (sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall)
  • Wireshark seems to capture traffic comming from google chrome when I start the application.
  • Firefox works great
  • **EDIT : No extentions installed, so can<t be caused by that.

Temporary solution, not viable for permanent is running chrome with v=1 flag from bash:

$ google-chrome-stable -v=1 (WORKS)

    Newest version of Chrome is working fine on two Ubuntu 22.04 machines. Have you tried updating Ubuntu? – John Feb 22 '23 at 20:03

Ubuntu 22.04 has issues with Wayland.

Solution: (worked for me)

  • Use X11

  • Try removing any conflicting applications, in my case culprit was Citrix Receiver.

Remove with follwing command:

sudo apt remove icaclient && sudo apt purge icaclient

I hope it works for you as well.
