chromium not working

[fireandfuel]

This bug is really annoying. Staying on moonman's custom build chromium 49 is only a temporary solution.

Is only the armv7h port of chromium affected by this issue?
Did somebody contacted the chromium devs?

[moonman]

I know for sure that 2 packages are affected:
Kodi and chromium. It is hard to report a bug to GCC team without hard evidence. You can't just go to their bugtracker and say this does not work - fix it.

Thankyou so much Moonman. I also want to confirm that the arm version offered on official repository is non working and just crashed on loadup. Yours just worked!

On a completely separate note. Does anyone know how to get the widevine license stuff working on Arch Linux arm? For viewing netflix and Amazon instant video and others? On debian jesse for Pi there are easy ways to do this ( http://conoroneill.net/running-the-late ... erry-pi-2/ ) but for arch linux users I have tried everything possible, extracted out the files needed and tried to replace them but Chromium on Arch Linux just doesn't want to know about it. I've tried to recompile the deb install files to get files missing from Arch Linux but it's just not working. I feel it's harsh that Chromium doesn't work right on archlinux arm and a version running on Debian Jessie can do far far more with everything working out of the box. There is a chromium-widevine package for archlinux non arm versions but sadly it's not made it's way to arm. I also had problems with Flash (pepper) using the official pacman app... I had to go unofficial to get that working as well adding flags ( creating a .conf file in .config/chromium-flags.conf ) for the pepper-flash files i ended up finding online elsewhere ( https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/tutoria ... refox/3598 ). What I would say re flash though is it's not brilliantly smooth on my pi. Fab for listening to music but for watching video... hmmm.. not that impressed. Has anyone seen it working smoothly on video on pi? I can't maximise screen else it becomes unwatchable and at small res audio lags a bit and motion is ok at best but I don't want to watch it like this so... it is great for music but hope there is a better solution soon. BTW once you've created the .conf file i.e. sudo nano .config/chromium-flags.conf => the line needed is "--ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=20.0.0.228-r1" for it to work on Arch Linux (So no CHROMIUM-FLAGS bit). Most the other instructions are the easy enough to follow.

I found a bug report according to this issue at the Chromium bugtracker:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is ... ?id=592198

New chromium in repos should work. GCC 6.1.1 has the bug fixed.

[yangxuan8282]

test chromium-50.0.2661.94-1.1 on RPi3
it crash on every pages

[mareex]

Can confirm yangxuan8282.
chromium-50.0.2661.94-1.1 crashes on every page on rpi3 and odroid-c2.

[hopchis]

My pi3 does the same, as I'm sure they all do. ArchLinux Chromium for ARM has gone from not starting at all to individual webpages constantly crashing to the "Aw Snap" message. The longest I have had any page stay loaded is about 8 or 9 seconds before it fails. It even happens in chrome settings and other configuration tabs.

[tequilaguru]

I did my own build for the imx6 with and without bundled ICU, same result, it crashes every tab after a few seconds.
This is with gcc 6.1.0, gcc 5.3.0 crashes immediately

[moonman]

Just checked the most recent build and it works fine.
