There’s no Chromium build for arm64, so trying to get Chromium on a PINE64 is a bit of a hassle.
Thankfully, armhf and arm64 binaries can easily coexist. So we go ahead and grab the armhf build from Ubuntu.
So install:
- apt-get install binutils:armhf
- Download chromium-browser and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg from Ubuntu
- Download libgcrypt11 from Ubuntu
- apt-get install libexif12:armhf libudev1:armhf
- Install chromium-browser, chromium-codecs-ffmpeg, and libgcrypt11 (using dpkg -i)
Next, launch Chromium with
- chromium-browser –disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox
I’m not sure why the seccomp filter sandbox blows up Chromium, but at least right now, I’m just leaving that option disabled. Seccomp filtering is a kernel option, so there’s probably something misconfigured in the kernel. Maybe. Dunno. Could be a chromium bug, too, there’s been one before.
The extra packages (exif12, udev1) are just because Chromium’s dependencies aren’t actually perfectly specified yet.
And yes, this really does work, considering this was posted from Chromium.
