Scratch 2.0 without chromium

[SQUID-INK7]

I have been trying to get spotify working on my pi for a long time and have finally achieved it by running it on a modified version of chromium but scratch 2 will only run if I have the original chromium downloaded and I wondered if there was a way to run scratch 2 without the original chromium installed.
Any help on this matter would be great, thank you.

I'm guessing that's because rpi-chromium-mods contains flash, which is required for scratch 2. If you can extract it from that package and place it in the right location, maybe that's all you need.

I found the folder rpi-chromium-mods but all I found was two leafpad files listing copyright and changelog.

it's not a folder, but an installable package (.deb file). It may still be in the apt cache, but if it's not you have to download from the RPF repository

The .deb package installs and uninstalls whenever you install (or uninstall) chromium, so does scratch 2. I am looking for a way to avoid the uninstallation of scratch 2 when I delete chromium.

Would there be any way to force the pi to keep some packages?

Thanks everyone for your help but I have just got Exagear running and have downloaded spotify from that so I no longer need help with this issue.

Compiling the version of chromium-browser to support WideVine DRM leaves one with a browser which does not include PepperFlash by default.


The RPF/RPT chromium-browser included in Raspbian Stretch with Desktop includes PepperFlash by default.


PepperFlash is the Google implementation of Adobe Flash which is required for Scratch version 2

You could try running firefox on raspberry pi, and using that for scratch.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install iceweasel

Or download the offline editor.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install scratch2

There has been no Iceweasel Browsers for a while, Debian again use firefox-esr, the version in the repositories is now out of date.
