google maps - high cpu load - not working

Post#1 by baszek » 21 Jun 2014, 10:00

Hello
I have such a problem that every time when I open google maps cpu is getting to ~60% and browser tab is freezed or not smooth at all (its hard to navigate) - I can do anything - it is hard even to move a map. The funny thing is also that google maps is working properly but when it is placed on some other www page for instance to show some company location.

I am using chromium 33.0.1750.146
and that high cpu load process is:

Code: Select all

chrome/chrome --type=gpu-process --channel=6302.7.1899139201 -- supports-dual-gpus=false --gpu-driver-bug-workarounds=0,1,2,27 --disable-accelerated-video-decode --gpu-vendor=0x0000 --gpu-device-id=0x0000 --gpu-driver-vendor=Mesa --gpu-driver-version=10.1.0

What is your Porteus edition and how much ram does your system have?

Maybe you should try some swap memory to help the cpu carrying the load...

I am using porteus 3.0 xfce with build in chrome. I have 2gb ram and core duo 1.73 - it should be fine for google maps :-)
I have found that it is a chrome problem. I tried firefox and there google map is working good.

Do you know where can I find some module of newer chrome version ? I tried to make module using USM, but there are dependency problems - some packets are missing (gconf libcups etc. )

install missing deps through USM and you should be good to go :)
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

I have made newest chrome module from usm with dependencies, but google maps still does not work. I dont know what is wrong with that chrome on porteus - do you have any ideas ? As I said it is working fine in firefox (on other distros like crunchbang chrome is working fine too).

It is WebGL problem. For my old Intel GPU and Porteus v2.1 I have an information:
Rats! WebGL hit a snag.
Opened "chrome://gpu" shows me that WebGL is unavailable.
For Porteus v3.0 (chrome://gpu) I have:
WebGL: Hardware accelerated
You can try disable it at "chrome://flags" (I can't). See also at: http://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/Black ... e_on_Linux

For your hostname question - open '/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf' as root and edit/add

Code: Select all

[keyfile]
hostname=baszek
You have mind and feelings. Be wise and clever.
