Hello, Since a couple of days Google Chrome browser continuously crashes with the error:
Ho No!
error code 9
Google recommend to reload the page, I did and it crash in a minute or 2, is desperating, Firefox never crash, but Chrome is very unstable even Hangouts is crashing. I never had this problem before. Any Idea?.
Chrome Version 85.0.4183.102 (Build official) (64 bits)
Thanks
There are so many things this could be. I have seen error codes like this in KDE over the Gnome/GTK theme, which Firefox uses. You might try switching the Gnome theme to something else in System Settings.
Also, check your extensions, Netflix is one that can be problematic and has thrown up these sorts of errors in Firefox.
Thank you Rodney I do not have Netflix, but I deleted some extensions, not all, and same problem. I love Garuda's default theme, I will try to change it, thanks. I do not have problems in Firefox.
Yeah, and it may not even be the theme, that was just the to problematic things that initially came to mind. Next, I would try your profile, empty the cache, maybe backup your firefox profile and create a new one to test it, etc.
Hello Rodney, Firefox works fine the problem is with Chrome, and is the first time I have seen this, I used to have up to 50 tabs open with no problem, please see the screenshot, thanks.
No sorry, that is my bad. Well I gave up Chrome long ago, but what I do know about it is that Chrome typically runs each tab as a separate process, which means it is not a good thing for memory. The more tabs, the more memory situation, which usually ends with crashing.
If things are crashing because of an out of memory situation because of too many tabs opened at once then look to see if there is a chrome extension to help with that.
Firefox has extensions to only load the current tab in use into memory. The background tabs are only loaded when you switch to them. Obviously this slows browsing somewhat, but it conserves memory on systems with limited RAM.
I assume Chrome has extensions for this (similar to the ones available on Firefox). I don't usually use Chrome, so I'm not overly familiar with it YMMV.
Hello and thanks to all. In my case memory is not the problem it still crashed with 45% free memory @tbg . Today, Chrome did not crash yet, I have it with 31 tabs open. This is Htop report, regards:
Hello @tbg , I still have the crashing tabs Chrome issue:

As you can see in the screen capture of Htop, the computer still has memory available. Could it be a problem with some Chrome incompatibility with or misuse of zram? I do not know.

Personally I don't use Chrome, so I'm not sure what your issue is.
A couple things you could try:
Disable or uninstall all chrome extensions to troubleshoot.
Try a different browser version such as a git developmental version or perhaps ungoogled chromium from the AUR.
I use Chrome, and I use zram for swap (via systemd-swap). No issues here.
By any chance, are you dual-booting Garuda with another distro - if yes, does the other distro use a swap partition (physical partition)?
Its because the process was killed or your pc could have hanged and become unresponsive
We use nohang
It prevents out of memory situation by killing process.
Which are not in use.
Which is better option?
killing one process
Or system becoming unresponsive and having to restart loosing everything
Thank you @librewish, I understand.
In order to make some testing, How can I disable zram and go to normal memory management, temporarily?
Hello and thanks @tardy I have only Garuda on SSD and Win 7 on HD only to run, from time to time, the Intel SSD diagnostics Win program.
Regards
sudo pacman -Rdd nohang-git systemd-swap
Reboot
switch to vivaldi.... import all your bookmarks and enjoy a crash free privacy oriented chromium based browser
Thanks @librewish.
Hello @anon56724355, I do not like Chrome (I like Pale Moon, and minimalist Midori although it has some limitations), but Chrome has wonderful extensions: I dictate my courses assignments, it reads aloud text webpages, I can OCR text on video tutorials, check css, etc. I am testing One Tab extension, memory use decreased, but I do not like to go back and forth to One Tab. With the old distro and same hardware I was able to have open 50 Tabs in Chrome, 70 Tabs in FF, several programs including KeepNote and a Virtual Machine working, and no crash, I always checked with psensor and I still had 3 to 5% free memory of my 16GBs.
Today I installed HPLip minimal a few megabytes and the disk dropped 2GB less free 
and my old good HP scanner is not detected. I do not understand, I had 17GB free, then I installed 5 small programs, but each time it update the system I lost gigabytes, now I only have 5GB free in the SSD I lost 12GB in about 10 days of updates 
, and I cleaned with Stacer.
Now my real critical problem is disk space available in my SSD, because it is consumed fast with the updates, I do not know what to do.
Regards
Check pacman cache.
du -sh /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
I do not use ubuntu stacer, so what you clean with stacer?
Thank you @SGS
1.- Output of the command
du -sh /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
is: 85M /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
2.- Please see the screen capture
All
Regards
You can reduce the number of timeshift backups kept on file. You can also limit your journal sizes. If you are having coredumps from all these crashes your coredump logs could be getting very large. You can also turn off coredump logging to prevent a massive build up in your coredump logs as well.
There's only so many things that can gobble precious space that can be managed.
Timeshift/btrfs snapshots, pacman cache, systemd journal and crash dump logs are the major candidates for reducible space wasters. The Archwiki is your friend when it comes to learning about these topics.
Well from next release timeshift snapshot wont consume much space
Because we will be using
@ @home @cache and @log
As subvolumes so that the logs and pacman pkg cache wont be included in snapshot
