Chrome and Update X86 to V11.0.0

Reddirt · March 9, 2023 at 10:19 PM

I was able to update my test X86 system to V11.0.0 with ease. Seamless and smooth update with all addons working as designed except Chrome browser @ V10.0.0.111

with no errors just no action when I tried to launch. Did I miss something?

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

Chrome requires the older Xorg windowing system used in the Generic-Legacy image. It will not work in the Generic (GBM/V4L2) image.

So if I understand this I need to use:

LibreELEC-Generic-legacy.x86_64-11.0.0.img.gz ?

Also log pasted as requested http://ix.io/4qtX

I used the Legacy x86 and all works again. Chrome updated and working. Thanks for the response and good work on the project!

Just a small hitch. Chrome operates fine on PC but once again no sound on the htpc connected to the Sony flat screen. Kinda confused here as last Chrome version had sound without custom audio device selected. Now no sound with or without custom device. I used to have to start YouTube on chrome to kick start the audio then worked fine. Now silence🤔

No doubt something with hdmi but I'm stumped.

Update

I found the system audio settings were not preserved during the update and changed. I corrected them and viola Chrome audio restored.

I have 11.0.6 Legacy (with nVidia support) and can´t make CHROME work... it starts downloading, and then "FAILED!" message appears...

Is anything that I'm missing?

Google did remove Chrome 109.0.5414.74 from their servers.

Work around: edit /storage/.kodi/addons/browser.chrome/bin/chrome-downloader and replace Chrome version with current 122.0.6261.94. Please report if it is working.

Modifying to version 122.0.6261.111-1 works.
