[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#840622: chromium: takes forever to start (too many open files)

[Francesco Potortì]

Package: chromium
Version: 53.0.2785.143-1
Severity: important

Chromium needs some minutes to start.

I see these messages immediately upon invocation:

[4949:4972:1013/132722:ERROR:file_path_watcher_linux.cc(264)] inotify_init() failed: Too many open files
[4949:4983:1013/132722:ERROR:nss_util.cc(809)] After loading Root Certs, loaded==false: NSS error code: -8018
[5010:5010:1013/132722:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(343)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process. 

And these after a long while, immediately before the window appearing:

Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

(marco:6653): Gtk-WARNING **: MetaFrames 0x55dd9c4ee100 is drawn without a current allocation. This should not happen.
