Chromium Fails to Load

[Robert Pace]

After installing official Armbian_25.2.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.99_xfce_desktop.img to sdcard, then to nvme all is fine, until, I do an apt update & upgrade, after that point chromium fails to run. I explored the logs to see it a failure to load chromium.conf from /etc/chromium.d/chromium.config (failed symbolic link to /etc/armbian/chromium.config).

 

Is there a known workaround besides utilization of firefox?

You could try to create chromium.conf yourself. Here's what I have here:

 

cat /etc/armbian/chromium.conf
# Default settings for chromium-browser. This file is sourced by /bin/sh from
# /usr/bin/chromium-browser

# Options to pass to chromium-browser
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-smooth-scrolling \
--disable-low-res-tiling \
--enable-low-end-device-mode \
--num-raster-threads=$(grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo) \
--profiler-timing=0 \
--disable-composited-antialiasing \
--disk-cache-dir=/tmp/${USER}-cache \
--disk-cache-size=$(findmnt --target /tmp -n -o AVAIL -b | awk '{printf ("%0.0f",$1*0.3); }') \
--no-sandbox \
--test-type"

This fixed the issue with Chromium. I simply created a file /etc/armbian/cromium.conf with the contents you provided and chromium opened perfectly.
