Is this affecting Chrome as well? Looks like it might be a bigger problem. It just crashed for three guys in our office within a few seconds of each other.
Edit: Nobody was using Gmail at any point.
- wkasel 14y agoChrome is crashing over here too.
- davidu 14y agoSame here.
- danielsamuels 14y agoMy Chrome crashed a few minutes ago too, no Gmail open, but I do use an extension which checks it for me. Edit: Looks like Chrome Sync is causing the crashes.
- stevejalim 14y agoChrome just crapped out for me too - I suspect it was polling the mothership or the like, but can't be sure
- lancefisher 14y agoI've had Chrome crash on me twice now with GMail trying to open.
- AshleysBrain 14y agoI can confirm Chrome crashed around the time of Gmail going down too.
- sebastianavina 14y agoIt crashed for me too.
- redeemedfadi 14y agoSame here. This is bad.
- MikeKusold 14y ago+1. Chrome crashed once for me, and it had an interesting error message. Something along the lines of "Wahhhh!!! Chrome crashed! Would you like to restart?"
- TeMPOraL 14y ago+1, Chrome on Windows 7 64-bit. Started to crash every minute just around the time GMail was down. It stopped crashing after I rebooted my machine - I don't know if it is related or just a coincidence; just giving a data point.
- twistedpair 14y ago+1 Win7 x64 too right when Gmail went out. And I thought it was an isolated WTF.
- de90 14y agowin8 x64 didn't go down for me at that time.. Wonder what the difference is? I don't sync among devices, but for the people that it did crash for do you sync among devices? Maybe that has something to do with it?
- mikerice 14y agoHappened to me as well.
- sxsde 14y agoAye! 2 times in a row!
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- joshstrange 14y agoI think it is, I didn't even click on the link to gmail and my chrome crashed just a seconds ago. Looks like a sync issue maybe?
- kunjanshah 14y agoyes it seems to be - I disabled syncing in prefs and it seems to have stopped crashing. Crashed Thread: 21 Chrome_SyncThread was on the crash log.
- beala 14y agoI was able to reproduce the crash once by adding a bookmark, which probably forces a sync. Gmail came back up for me, though, so I'm not able to test this again.
- majorlazer 14y agoChrome just crashed over here as well.
- zhuzhuor 14y agoMe too... going to disable any gmail/gtalk extension to see if it would be more stable
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- madaxe 14y agoIt's even crashing on iOS! Guess its a "never" situation there right now.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- wch 14y agoIt crashed for me also. I wonder if it's because I have the offline gmail app for Chrome installed?
- pearkes 14y agoAlso crashed for me.
- tmx 14y agoCrashed for me too, twice. EDIT: A colleague is seeing it too.
- oscilloscope 14y agoBoth Chromium and mobile Chome are crashing for me. The Play Store is also unavailable to get a different browser. Edit: I had Chrome Sync enabled on both. Seems more stable with syncing disabled.
- mappingbabel0 14y agoChrome is also crashing for me. It gives this error - Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library/ Runtime Error! / Program: C:\User... "This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" / "Please contact the application's support team for more information."
- DigitalJack 14y agoAt times like these, it seems like having the ability to stick a user poll in a reply post like this would be a useful feature.
- kunjanshah 14y agoTry disabling account syncing in preferences. Its crashing in Crashed Thread: 21 Chrome_SyncThread It has not crashed for me after disabling that.
- aksxna 14y agochrome crashed...
- chaistudios 14y agoCrashing here with Gapps.
- jalanco 14y agoYes. Chrome crashed for me too.
- sjbarag 14y agoFor what it's worth, I haven't had any crashes with either Chromium or Chrome on Ubuntu, but I'm not signed into my Google account via either. It looks like mail.google.com is back though. I guess I opened them after the issue was fixed.
- graeme 14y agoIt may be region specific, it's still down for me. I've noticed that Hacker News seems slower since gmail went down. I'd be interested to know how traffic responded. I'm guessing a lot of people default to HN if they hit a roadblock in their work. I know I do.
- NathanKP 14y agoYes, Chrome is crashing every two minutes or so for me as well. I think it has to do with Gmail being open in one tab while Gmail is down. This is very bad.
- SilasX 14y agoWha ... how ... why would browser performance be coupled to performance of one particular site? Firefox, Opera, even IE don't crash when they're offline and unable to connect to any site.
- untog 14y agoI don't think it's Gmail, I think it's the Sync service that is causing crashes.
- moepstar 14y agoProbably - no problems with Chrome here, no sync enabled, no GMail tabs open (using GMail in my standalone client only)
- cxhristian 14y agoYeah, I have sync enabled and using the official Gmail extension. I crashed several times not long ago.
- VMG 14y agoChromium crash on Arch Linux with this message: http://pastebin.com/f9JMsPzT http://pastebin.com/f9JMsPzT terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' what(): bitset::set [1] 4934 abort (core dumped) chromium singing out of sync for now.. Edit: no crashes since I signed out of sync Edit2: found a more complete stack trace by somebody else: https://gist.github.com/4251938 https://gist.github.com/4251938 Bug Report: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=165171 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=165171
- baq 14y agochrome aborts left and right on win7 64, too.
- w1ntermute 14y agoYeah, I get crashes all the time on Win 7 x64, but that might have something to do with having 100+ tabs open.
- JosephRedfern 14y agoDitto on Mountain Lion.
- paganel 14y agoChrome also starting crashing 30-or-so minutes ago, on a OS X 10.8.1, Chrome version 23.0.1271.95. I just had my Facebook account open in that window, but it continued crashing by itself after 5 minutes. GMail doesn't work , too, from neither FF nor Chrome, it does though from my iPhone (different web provider, I wonder if that counts).
- Deusdies 14y agoSame here. Windows 8.
- floydenstein 14y agogoogle-chrome on lubuntu crashed 3 times in a minute after going to gmail.
- agotterer 14y agoChrome just crashed for me with gmail open as well. OS X 10.8.2. Chrome 23.0.1271.95.
- Aco- 14y agoNo crash here, using Chromium ver 22.0.1190.0, compiled from source. However, GMail is extremely slow. Have been able to refresh (and access) it 3 times in the past 5 minutes.
- Aco- 14y agoGetting 500 errors from GMail now, still no crash
- while1 14y agoSame for me as well.
- ruggeri 14y agoWow. One web service goes down and you can't even use your browser. Maybe this is a sign that they're too tightly integrated.
- packetslave 14y agoOr it could be, you know, a BUG
- espadrine 14y agoWhat he said. Some bugs are intrinsically unacceptable in the design of a computer program. Not that everything I do is bugless, but separation of concerns isn't a swear word.
- pdwetz 14y agoOf course, separation of concerns can lead to swear words if not well thought out.
- dsl 14y agoBy bug you mean design failure. A trivial external API should not be able to take down a desktop application.
- ruggeri 14y agoThanks for the nastiness, Google employee.
- 14y ago
- mtgx 14y agoCrashed for me, too. I thought it was just because of a flash-heavy site, but maybe not.
- cooldeal 14y agoI wonder if folks with Chromebooks(and running Chrome OS, not Ubuntu) are able to use them at all now? Can anyone chime in?
- maxwell 14y agoTested on my Cr-48 and login works, seems limited to Gmail.
- dcassiano 14y agoWeb interface is down, but with a desktop client like Apple Mail it works to receive and send emails.
- lnanek2 14y agoMy Chrome is continually crashing here on a MacBook Pro Retina as well. Even just visiting unrelated sites like Android Market and others. I assume it is trying to sync my pages to my account, or pull down URL malware black lists or something, hitting the same error GMail is hitting, and crashing.
- Andrex 14y agoMine crashed out of the blue as well, thought it was very strange.
- austenallred 14y agoMy Chrome keeps crashing every minute or so; I gave up and am in Safari now.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- raheemm 14y agoMy chrome is working fine. So is gmail. I'm in Bangladesh so maybe Asia is okay.
- jamesjporter 14y agoMy chrome and gmail are both fine, U.S. Midwest, so its more complicated than that.
- bogdans 14y agoMine are working too and I'm from Eastern Europe. It was probably a slight glitch of Google's servers or databases.
- SquareWheel 14y agoYes, my Chrome has been crashing every ten minutes for the last half hour.
- jps359 14y agoYep, Chrome was crashing for me on iOS after about 30 seconds of use.
- avirambm 14y agoCrashing on my mac as well (OS X 10.8.2, Chrome 23.0.1271.95).
- csomar 14y agoAnd I was wondering what was wrong. It crashed for me on 4 devices of different OSes.
- FiloSottile 14y agoChrome Canary is stable, and Gmail loads from here in Italy.
- leddt 14y agoJust to add some data: Did not crash for me. I am using sync and I have two gmail tabs open. However gmail has continued to work for me, only the chat has had some issues. Using dev build from canada.
- tluyben2 14y agoYep Chrome crashed too during the outage for my colleagues and me.
- vitorarins 14y agochrome for linux 64 bit was crashing here too.. It was blowing up my RAM.. Du'no how
- hippocampus 14y agoGmail crashed, Chrome didn't, on two of my machines, Version 23.0.1271.95 m, and 23.0.1271.91 m
- briffle 14y agoI was getting regular chrome crashes (same time as my co-worker) till I signed out of chrome so it wouldn't sync bookmarks, etc..
