Not Working in Chrome, Chromium on Ubuntu

[sgon00]

I tried chromium-browser 32 and google-chrome 33. The demo page does not work on both of them. I am running ubuntu.

I tried it on android. it works fine. Any ideas why? Thank you very much for this excellent project.

This is weird. I tried the same chromium-browser version in two different laptops. One works, Another one doesn't. The one which does not work will only show one image in the center and left and right side are white blank. when I try to drag the image, the image gets scaled.

The following is the chromium version in full which does NOT work:

Version 32.0.1700.107 Ubuntu 14.04 (32.0.1700.107-0ubuntu1~20140204.977.1)

The following is the chromium version in full which does work:

Version 32.0.1700.107 Ubuntu 13.10 (32.0.1700.107-0ubuntu0.13.10.1~20140204.972.1)

Even if the OS version is different, but the browsers have the same version, same 64bit build. They are both using nvidia driver with different driver versions.

Any ideas what can be the cause? thanks a lot.

Check that 3D CSS hardware acceleration is enabled in Chromium:
chrome://gpu/

ztorage, thank you very much for pointing this out.
I tried chrome://gpu/ in both my chromium-browser and google-chrome in the machine which does not work. Both have the same result: 3D CSS: Unavailable. Hardware acceleration unavailable
I have no idea why. Maybe I should ask #ubuntu IRC channel this. Something wrong with my graphic card driver? My laptop has both intel graphic card and nvidia. I tried both graphic cards drivers. None of them will enable 3D CSS hardware acceleration.
Thanks.

PS: By the way, if I run google-chrome with the following arguments, it works perfectly.

google-chrome --enable-webgl --ignore-gpu-blacklist

It sounds like your GPU has the Optimus feature which doesn't work well
with Ubuntu.
I remember struggling with it a couple of years ago, and finally,
disabling Optimus in the BIOS helped. That meant, however, that I could
no longer use the Intel card - which was fine for me. The only reason
they have this Optimus thing anyway, is that when you're doing boring
stuff like Office, the NVidia card can turn itself off, and let you use
he less power-hungry intel card. It saves a couple of hours battery life.

Anyway, long story short, it seems like Chrome doesn't like your graphic
drivers. You can try forcing it to use hardware acceleration by enabling
the "Override software rendering list" in chrome://flags/

Enjoy.
