Docker: The display compositor is frequently crashing. Goodbye.

[franz101]

Hi,
I'm using a docker container with node:8-slim
and puppeteer 1.10.0. The container runs fine locally but on my Debian server I got the error Message:
gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(892)] The display compositor is frequently crashing. Goodbye.
I guess this might be chrome related and maybe caused through lack of memory.

.... Couldn't find anyone experiencing this error before.

Found a solution: Set chrome to stable

[nikhilo]

This seems to have broken again in latest stable. Google Chrome 73.0.3683.75

@nikhilo same here, did you find a solution?

[rafaelbnp]

@nikhilo @sonnyt have been fighting this since yesterday. Any luck?

[sonnyt]

@rafael-paiva nope, just ended up downgrading to Chromium 72.0.3626.121.

I'm using headless Firefox so my tests are not blocked. @franz101 can we re-open this issue?

[aslushnikov]

Can you guys share your docker container so that we can see this happenning locally?

[chrismllr]

This is happening for me on node:10-browsers and node:lts-browsers, pre-built docker images we're using in Circle: https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/circleci-images/#nodejs

These install Chrome @ 73.0.3683.75

Downgrading to node:10.14-browsers did the trick in the meantime (installed Chrome ~71)

@chrismllr do I understand correctly that it crashes for the Chrome that's bundled with the docker image? Does the Chromium version we bundle with Puppeteer crash the same way?

It has also happened similar crashes while running tests for our project.

By using Chromium@74.0.3723.0 (r637110: Puppeteer v1.13.0 bundled version) instead Chrome@73.0.3683.75, it gets working well.
