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 !
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).
Thank you for the workaround! However it would be nice to be able to keep up with the latest versions of chromium. Do we know what could fix the underlying issue? Is this something that needs to be fixed in Chromium or in the Ubuntu Mate environment? Where could we solicit some support to get it done?
Hi,
I will update links for version 51.
I don’t know what the problem is really because the build for 14.04 works and not the 16.04. I think the source code is very close … Just different build … A bug is open at launchpad but not solved yet. I see some people saying it would work on next releases … I hope it will
I can’t seem to get Chromium to finish installing, I’m new to linux and as such am not understanding these error messages, can someone help interpret them for me?

Trying to work through the root cause of this issue and I’m arriving at un-met dependencies. Thoughts on fixing these:
brad@brad-pi:~$ sudo apt-get install -f

So multiple people have shown me some codes and they have not worked most of them were sudo apt-get install chromium and ive tried multiple times. Do you have to type in all the codes to work it cause on my raspberry pi3 it worked but my dad’s isn’t working at all?
