[Bug]: AppImage Crash #260

@GermanZun

Description

@GermanZun

Operating system

Linux

Version

Version 0.11.2.1 (Compilación oficial, Chromium 147.0.7727.55) appimage (64 bits)

Have you tested that this is not an upstream issue or an issue with your configuration?

  • I have tried reproducing this issue in Chrome and it could not be reproduced there
  • I have tried reproducing this issue in ungoogled-chromium and it could not be reproduced there
  • I have tried reproducing this issue in Helium with a new and empty profile using --user-data-dir command line argument and it could not be reproduced there

Description

Helium crashes randomly on Fedora 43.

How to Reproduce?

  • Run Helium AppImage (via AppImageLauncher or directly)
  • Use it normally (e.g. open YouTube or general browsing)
  • After some time, the application crashes unexpectedly

Actual behavior

  • Random crashes during normal usage
  • System logs show helium_crashpad_handler crashing with Signal: 7 (BUS)
  • Crash appears unrelated to specific websites or actions

Expected behavior

Helium should run without crashing under normal usage, similar to other Chromium-based browsers.

Aditional Context

System details:

OS: Fedora Linux 43 (KDE Plasma Desktop Edition)
Kernel: 6.19.12-200.fc43.x86_64
Desktop: KDE Plasma (Wayland)
Architecture: x86_64
