SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  MAC Pro 2008 NVICIA K4000 64 Gb ( two machines ) .  Both machines have been
or worked with Fedora and Chrome until updates were applied 9/6/2025 to Fedora
from the Software Update feature.

Upon reboot, attempts to get into Chrome exhibited a blank white screen with an
account icon upper right hand corner never seen before in Chrome.  You could
mouse over icon and see a pop up menu with one option to login. However the
options were greyed out.


Proper steps were taken to remove Chrome and reinstall.  No change,

Both systems were then wiped after a new USB stick of Fedora KDE was installed.
After installing Fedora, updates were applied to,bring the system up to very
latest Fedora.
The only application installed was Chrome.   Reimaged machines total 6 times. 
One time attempts to install Chrome from Fedora RPMs. One time from Google’s
download.

Running Chrome from terminal found some ApIs depreciated but could not screen
capture.

5th attempt, downloaded and made Fedora Workstation with Gnome Desktop.  Chrome
appears to work fine with Gnome.

I must emphasize.  Machines have been working on Fedora 42 until updates from
Fedora on Sept 6 caused.  This problem.   I also tried COSMIC, Desktop and it
too fails.  I find that bizarre since it uses Rust?

Suspect some low level library lost some code or waschanged.
