eab 18 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The strange thing about this is: Some users in my company with the identical Ubuntu and ESET install (ESET is managed by ESMC), as well as the same version of Chromium/Chrome, are having this problem while others (like myself) don't have it. Users reporting this problem online in general are using Windows and Linux, as well as other Antivirus software than ESET. So what's actually the cause of this? @Marcos could you explain how it is that ESET is "fixing" the problem and yet it's occurring with and without ESET, and on some Linux systems with ESET it's not happening at all, and on WIndows and Linux ... !?

Ioannis Vranos 0 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 It is definitely happening on Linux. I have Manjaro XFCE installed, and after I install ESET NOD32 for Linux Desktop, Google Chrome starts to flicker, and close. When I uninstall the antivirus, Chrome works normally. There is a work-around. If you start Chrome without sandboxing, it works OK. To do this, you run Chrome with --no-sandbox But, it is not good to run Chrome without this protection in the long term.

Ioannis Vranos 0 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I just noticed that this thread is about the business versions, not the home user one. Perhaps others think that this is about the home user version too, and thus there is some confusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the retail version of Eset for Linux thread on this issue: https://forum.eset.com/topic/21896-chrome-79-always-starts-a-core-dump-and-crashes/, no fix for this problem is projected .

Ellis 0 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 This thread is about ESET NOD32. This product is listed under https://www.eset.com/au/home/antivirus-linux/download/ which is listed under the home products section of the ESET (Australian) website. It is not listed under the business section. The vendor has already stated that a fix will be released for ESET NOD32 in version v4.0.95 of this product in the near future. Thanks for the tip re running Chrome, ie Chrome with --no-sandbox . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that this thread is posted in the forum Endpoint section. Eset offers two versions of NOD32 for Linux. The Endpoint ver. here: https://www.eset.com/us/business/endpoint-security/linux-antivirus/download/ which is currently release 7.0.13.0. The Home ver. here: https://www.eset.com/us/home/antivirus-linux/download/ which is currently release 4.0.93.0. Bottom line - they are not the same product. This thread is mixing Home and Endpoint ver. postings together and that is the cause of the confusion. @Marcos, posted a reply last Tues. that this issue will be fixed in the Home ver. in release 4.0.95 but no ETA has been established yet for that release.
