Using Armbian 5.30 stable Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i
Linux orangepipc 3.4.113-sun8i #16 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 13 14:15:57 CEST 2017 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

 

Just updated my chromium from the pre-installed version 58.0.3029.110-0ubuntu0.16.04.1281 which worked fine to 59.0.3071.109-0ubuntu0.16.04.1289 which fails to start for some reason. You can see the window open up for a brief moment, then it crashes with the following error:

can you reproduce the error in a fresh build?? if not then it is not a software issue (bad sd card???)

 

reproduce the error on a fresh build using another GOOD sd card.

if you can reproduce the error, post logs, make of sd card, make of psu...so on

give the folks here the help they need to help you.

Chromium for ARM has history of instability and lately it was working quite OK which was one of points that we start using it. I doubt it's related to any changes within Armbian. First we need to reproduce this error on other builds: Pine64, C2, ... than if the problem manifest there to, contact package maintainer. We don't have any intention or resources to fix Chromium bugs. 

If this is so, I would suggest rolling this package back or upgrade to fixed version when available.

Yes, I actually reported the problem only after doing a fresh install on another card first. So vanilla Armbian_5.30_Orangepipc_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img with single updated package as stated above.

Sure thing. What logs do you need, specifically? Nothing in syslog or systemd journal though. I'm not aware of any logging done by chromium, but I'm sure you can point me in the right direction there.

For the actual error message, see above. Card is a 16GB Sandisk Ultra UHC-I card I took from another SBC. PSU is the old Xunlong 3A one.

How so? Apt-get tells me

E: Version '58.0.3029.110-0ubuntu0.16.04.1281' for 'chromium-browser' was not found

Hi,

I'm running a fairly fresh install of the desktop version of Armbian for the tinkerboard, and I'm running into a problem launching chromium-browser.  I have successfully downloaded and installed Firefox, but chromium is still defeating me. If I try to launch from the terminal I get;

      

nick@tinkerboard:~$ chromium-browser

Background -

- I have been running an very old version of Armbian for tinkerboard which I downloaded from a nightly several months ago. That also failed to run chromium, but I didn't attempt to launch it from the terminal. 

- Tinkerboard is powered from the gpio pins 

- This build installed today using etcher to a good quality microSD. The image was downloaded via a torrent a week ago.

 

I'm not very good at diagnosis and fixing, but can follow instructions if more information is needed.

 

Thanks for reading.

It is definitely problem in the new chromium. 
But no fix/solution so far. The workaround that I'm using:
1. on the fresh armbian before apt update && apt upgrade
2. sudo apt install synaptic
3. in synaptic lock the current chromium version (58.0.3029.110-0ubuntu0.16.04.1281)

4. apt update && apt upgrade

So there's no way to downgrade once you have the broken version?

 

$ sudo apt-get install chromium-browser=58.0.3029.110-0ubuntu0.16.04.1281
E: Version '58.0.3029.110-0ubuntu0.16.04.1281' for 'chromium-browser' was not found

 

Do you have to change apt repositories for that to work?

You can download the older deb

 

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/319181475/chromium-browser_58.0.3029.110-0ubuntu0.14.04.1176_armhf.deb

 

But it also requires the exact chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package

 

I did somehting along the lines of this... 

sudo apt remove chromium-browser

mkdir tempforinstall

cd tempforinstall

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/319181475/chromium-browser_58.0.3029.110-0ubuntu0.14.04.1176_armhf.deb

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/319181477/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_58.0.3029.110-0ubuntu0.14.04.1176_armhf.deb

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

sudo -s

echo chromium-browser hold | dpkg --set-selections

This removes the 59 version, downloads 58 versions, installs them and then locks the browser so it doesn't get upgraded. I'm sure someone could do this in less lines but it worked for me.

 

I don't get the Lock option in synaptic for some reason.

Friends, I downloaded the latest version of Armbian for Orange Pi Plus 2E desktop version 5.30, did the whole installation procedure without update and everything was working. I did an update and Chromium does not work anymore it tries to open and close. I upgraded to version 5.31 and continue with the same problem. Does anyone know what's going on?

Rob Tieger's solution works - i tried it, and now chromium works with no problem.  The next post says the bug was fixed, but i have not tried that yet.  If anyone else knows that is true, let me know.   if this is the latest then the others who had the problem wouldn't have!
