Logging into Linode from Chrome on Linux

Always worked for me- Chrome is synced between Debian Jessie and a Mepis 11 install- no issues with any.

It worked for years for me too.

As a test I tried logging into a Guest account on Ubuntu and Chrome crashes, tried from a terminal too, just aborts.

Firefox works in the Guest account. I'll try reporting this to Google but LinkedIn hasn't worked right for me in Chrome for several months and they haven't tried to fix it despite my reports so I doubt it will help.

@diltonm:

I normally log into my Linode account using Google Chrome on Ubuntu (currently 14). I don't log in all that often but today I noticed a warning about cookies and that I could not log in. I tried Firefox and it works. Anyone else in this boat with Chrome?

Have you tried to delete any linode cookies from Chrome?

Yep, also I don't have the icon saying I'd turned cookies off for Linode. It worked for several years. I just noticed recently it's not working. I also have to keep password synchronization off or sometimes Chrome will refuse to start complaining about a profile problem. Checking ps -ef there would be old stale copies of Chrome running. The quality of Chrome on Linux has been going downhill the past few months.

I'm using Chrome Version 41.0.2272.89 (64-bit) on Linux (Fedora 20) and have no issues at all.

Stale copies?

Chrome has a process per tab, so you'd expect to see at least one process per tab.

Chrome is as robust as ever here.

Did you tried after clearing your browser cache ?

Yep, finally got it working yesterday, went to the extreme, all cookies are blocked now and I approve sites one by one for now.
