Hi,
There is a problem since months with chromium, standard installation don’t work !
There is an error launching chromium and it don’t start !
A bug report is open in launchpad but it isn’t fixed yet.
This is a workaround to install and have chromium working !
Remove chromium installation
sudo apt-get remove chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra chromium-browser chromium-browser-l10n
Next we have to download chromium for ubuntu 14.04, I know it is strange but the package for ubuntu 14.04 work with ubuntu mate 16.04 !
(I try to do a diff between the two version package but it is in the binary files).
Download the packages from launchpad
wget https://launchpad.net/~canonical-chromium-builds/+archive/ubuntu/stage/+build/9739240/+files/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_50.0.2661.102-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1117_armhf.deb https://launchpad.net/~canonical-chromium-builds/+archive/ubuntu/stage/+build/9739240/+files/chromium-browser_50.0.2661.102-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1117_armhf.deb http://launchpadlibrarian.net/259414466/chromium-browser-l10n_50.0.2661.102-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1117_all.deb https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/8993250/+files/libgcrypt11_1.5.3-2ubuntu4.3_armhf.deb
Install the packages
> sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.3-2ubuntu4.3_armhf.deb
> sudo dpkg -i chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_50.0.2661.102-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1117_armhf.deb
> sudo dpkg -i chromium-browser_50.0.2661.102-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1117_armhf.deb
> sudo dpkg -i chromium-browser-l10n_50.0.2661.102-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.1117_all.deb
Block updates on chromium packages
sudo apt-mark hold chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra chromium-browser chromium-browser-l10n
Then launch chromium
Note - When a new working release will be available you can unblock packages updating with :
sudo apt-mark unhold chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra chromium-browser chromium-browser-l10n
sudo apt-get upgrade
Enjoy,
Aworan
