Are we able to update the PPA build with the appropriate settings to work around this issue? This seems to be a deal breaker issue for many wanting to run casparcg in a stable manner on linux. ---

I have opened pull request 1821 opened against the master branch that has a temporary patch to fix this issue. My test machines running Ubuntu 24.04 and xubuntu 26.04 have been running rock solid since then (even though I still have to optimize some stuff to run the channel count I need on those servers). No CEF changes are required for the new patched version. ---

The malloc patch just got merged on master so master branch builds should not have this issue now even if using a cef150000 compatible system cef package so the no sysroot packages are no longer required for linux [Previous page](https://casparcgforum.org/t/casparcg-crashes-randomly-on-ubuntu-24-04/7537.md?page=1)
