When I try to run Chromium(chromium-browser), it displays only the title bar and a border. Here's the error log:

How can I get this to work?

NOTE: I've had a similar problem with Xubuntu as well, but it works fine on Raspbian.

From looking here, I think that it might be problem from a new update, becuase updating chromium caused it to happen in the first place.

If this is true, Could you please tell me how to downgrade (Opposite of upgrade) to a version below 59?

  • Raspbian isn't Ubuntu. Nor is it really even Debian. Just making that known. – Thomas Ward Jul 14 '17 at 11:19
  • @ThomasWard What do you mean Raspbian isn't really Debian. Isn't it just a distro of Debian, like Ubuntu? –  Jul 14 '17 at 11:47
  • Raspbian is the RPI foundation's fork of Debian with a lot of other changes that make it differ from Debian enough to be considered "not debian". It may pull from Debian's repos but they have a lot of additional packages and repositories that add special things. Raspbian is offtopic here though. – Thomas Ward Jul 14 '17 at 12:00

After thinking about it being a version problem, I decided to look around and found this website: http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/universe/c/chromium-browser/, the official website for the chromium found in APT repositories.

So I looked around, tried out a few versions, and finally, managed to get chromium working by installing 

chromium-codecs-ffmpeg_57.0.2987.98-0ubuntu1.1348_armhf.deb
chromium-browser_57.0.2987.98-0ubuntu1.1348_all.deb
chromium-browser-l10n_57.0.2987.98-0ubuntu1.1348_all.deb

In that order. See How do I install a .deb file via the command line? if unsure; you can, for example, cd to the download directory and run 

sudo apt-get install ./<name of package>.deb

  • I wouldn't call that an "official website", it's more of the actual contents of the repo. :) Good answer BTW! You may also consider pinning that package (if I recall the verb correctly) so that it doesn't upgrade again to the broken version. – Andrea Lazzarotto Jul 29 '17 at 07:50
  • @AndreaLazzarotto I couldn't find a better word and will change it. Also how do I pin the repo? –  Jul 29 '17 at 09:50
  • You answered your own question then suicided –  Feb 09 '20 at 21:30

I had the same problem trying to get Chromium to work on Ubuntu Mate. It wouldn't start. I took my time reading through forums trying to find out what's wrong. 15 minutes into it, it suddenly opened up on my raspberry pi's screen by itself (I guess the process was still running). After that it worked normally. I'm still not sure what it was doing there for 15 minutes
