Google Chrome on Raspbian (Failed to open primary graphics)

[kusti8]

BTW I've compiled the latest chromium into a package that has widevine libraries in it so Netflix now works on v56:
viewtopic.php?p=1125013#p1125013

thanks so much! I'm going to use this and mix with the latest libraries and an easy install script, the version i was using is like 45 or something. when I got into the 50's I started getting library version issues (not related to drm and such) and repos didn't have supported versions. have you tested this?

What libraries? This includes the widevine libraries so it works out of the box.

how to uninstall? just in case.

ha, i knew it.

the libraries included with rpi-chromium-mods and some others I found in other packages. Turns out though that build isn't 100% so I'm just going to fix my package.

edit - seems as though it was on my side having ethernet and wifi hooked up at same time. Great job!!!!

ha, i knew it.

to uninstall it, just do this (ill include these instructions on the first post)

sudo rm -R /usr/lib/chromium-browser
sudo apt-get install --reinstall chromium-browser rpi-chromium-mods

I have posted a thread in the Raspbian forum for installing Chromium with Netflix support. The package has been updated and thoroughly tested. Just follow the link on the first post at the top.

installed, chromium about is 51.0.2704.91 not 56.0.2924.110.
btw, does it compiled by armv7 ?

you must be installing the older package, or you didn't install it right.

I don't know anything about what goes on during compilation, kusti8 did that. It compiled for armhf which requires at least armv7.

Please post questions about the Chromium build on this page

I have no idea what you're talking about. It doesn't need any extra libraries and because rpi-chromium-mods is still installed, no need to uninstall because it just overwrites itself.

It's also compiled for ARMv6, it's just that widevine only works on Armv7.

we are talking about your build not Kusti8's in your sub-forum, right?
and, just do ./install.sh.
