Comment # 5 on bug 1008211 from George Anchev

I did the following test (still not upgraded to v.54):

In chrome://gpu I noticed that:

Canvas: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
Rasterization: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
Video Decode: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable

Then I went to chrome://flags and enabled:
#ignore-gpu-blacklist
#enable-gpu-rasterization

Restarted chromium and now in chrome://gpu I have:

Canvas: Hardware accelerated
Rasterization: Hardware accelerated
Video Decode: Hardware accelerated

Then I decided to make this persistent by adding the following to
/etc/default/chromium:

CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--ignore-gpu-blacklist --enable-gpu-rasterization"

and I also restored to default the 2 flags in chrome://flags in order to test
if the setting will be read correctly from /etc/default/chromium

Restarted browser and I see again:

Canvas: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
Rasterization: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
Video Decode: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable

Does that mean there is a bug in the shellscript you mention?

It would be good to know that before upgrading to v.54 and potentially breaking
the gnome password storage.
