Hi,

Thanks for your report. Looks like it's crashing inside Chromium somewhere.

I wonder what Ubuntu version you're running? (I'm running Ubuntu 20.10 without a crash.)

lsb_release -a

I've a patch coming for running Headlamp without GPU support - which has caused crashes for me when running Ubuntu inside Virtualbox. But perhaps this is a different cause.

Hello,

I haven't been able to reproduce this yet. There are two options you could try to work around it however.

The first is you can run the headlamp app with the GUI inside the browser:

headlamp --headless

The second runs without GPU enabled (only in Headlamp 0.3.0):

headlamp --disable-gpu

Hi @kokizzu ,

This week we've published Headlamp as a Flatpak too. Can you check whether running it as a flatpak helps you get to the UI?

@kokizzu , you may need to install Flatpak on Ubuntu before: https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu/

I am closing this issue since there has been no further feedback, and in our tests in Ubuntu things have been working correctly. @kokizzu , if you're still experiencing this, please reopen and provide more details.
