(Generic-Legacy x86) Google Chrome doesn't install. It says it downloads to 100% then it fails to extract

I'm not sure how to save logs if that would help. From what I can gather a past incident of this happening to someone they were using the Generic x86 version and it got fixed going to Generic-Legacy x86, which I'm already using as the Generic x86 one doesn't work (it never boots up after installation) for me.

If it matters, it's on a laptop, MSI GL63 8RD.

Extraction needs RAM. Make a swap file.

How do you enter the terminal in LibreELEC?

If using 11.0.6 the Chrome .deb file was removed.

I assume those updated Chrome .debs are installed manually via other sources? If so, how?

Option A: SSH login from another PC

1. find the IP of your LE device by using your router menu
2. open a terminal on another PC, and type ssh root@<IP_OF_YOUR_LE_DEVICE> to connect to your LE device
3. use the default password "libreelec" to finish the login
4. to end your SSH session, just use the "exit" command

Option B: Use an LE terminal add-on

1. download the "System Tools" add-on
2. start the "Terminal" app

I assume the swap file was made? cp /etc/swap.conf /storage/.config didn't return with anything indicating it did but there was no error either.

How would I install Chrome manually? I see in that linked thread above mglae said to edit /storage/.kodi/addons/browser.chrome/bin/chrome-downloader but I'm not sure how?

The "free" command on terminal will show you the size of the swap file. If it's larger than 0, then you did it right.

Rule of thumb for swap file size: double size of the hardware RAM.

It just says 0s for the swap so I take it that it didn't do anything.

Did you read the instructions? You have to edit that file after copying it:

nano /storage/.config/swap.conf

Then reboot.

I just realized your PC has 8GB of RAM, so I don't think 16GB swap (or more) will make a difference.

I have 16GB of RAM actually. I didn't see anyone mentioning how to edit it (I did see Nano come up but I didn't know what that was). Editing the swap.conf worked perfectly, nano reports the proper >32GB swap file size

As for the Google Chrome issue, nano /storage/.kodi/addons/browser.chrome/bin/chrome-downloader allows you to edit the CHROME_FILE to a more proper, updated source. It failed to extract the first time then installed properly afterwards. I'm on Chrome now.
