THIS POST IS OLDER THAT THE FIRST POST ON THIS THREAD AND JUST DESCRIBES HOW I TRIED TO MAKE CHROMIUM WORK FIRST.

From this thread I started and there may be some usefull information to be found. I tried install it but didn't work.

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/v...?f=63&t=121195

Then I found another thread and followed this path.

First added from this guy the jessie main repository to /etc/apt/sources.list

https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=5908

Then installed from there chromium-browser-odroid

installing chromium-browser-odroid

Opening chroot:

If you try to start it from debbie chroot with just chromium it says have to add --no-sandbox and then it opens it to own window without lxde desktop and to developer mode. But it wont work well and shows the top bar of hildon on top of the window. If you here open an incognito window the previous is left underneath and you should close it.

Opening through desktop:

Open debian desktop, open run and type chromium. It will show a box which says "Profile error occured and can't read your preferences". But it will open the google search page after long time. It is helpful to have a cpu diagram on the bottom of desktop to follow when it's done before continuing.

The search works, preferences opens and can be changed but I think they are not saved. When you open chromium chroot you see all kinds of errors which should probably be fixed.

Also was able to search from webstore but when tried to add extension (Ublock addblocker to help pages to load) it was unable to unzip the package.

I managed to open one newspaper (www.il.fi) but with the heavier one (www.is.fi) it first shows the news but when the loading continues it in the end fails with a window Aw, snap!

I tried to clear cache and use incognito window (as chromium suggested) but no difference. Also here in desktop if you open the incognito window the previous window stays behind and you should close it.

Also tried (as was said in the thread https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=12350 by the builder) to start chromium with --use-gl=egl but it gives many errors of missing stuff (well seen when starting in chroot with that).

Some in that thread had managed to get chromium to work in odroid only after downgrading libnss3. So I tried to look for help to that and found this thread.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...rading-problem

Those instructions were too scary so search more and found this.

https://www.ostechnix.com/how-to-dow...age-in-ubuntu/

As instructed there I did this sudo apt-cache showpkg libnss3 and stopped there my journey when saw mention of dependencies and libc6. I don't know what it is but it has been giving me grey hair and have made me to install debbie and jessie again many times. There always comes problems with libc6 when I try to install something. I have now working jessie with netsurf and I don't know how to save/make image of my present setup so I didn't try to downgrade libnss3 to see what happens.

I still searched for how to prevent package from upgrading again for future needs and found it from here.

https://www.ostechnix.com/3921-2/

In the end I used this to see the version of current libc6

sudo apt-cache show libc6 | grep Versio

But cause I don't understand these things it didn't give me any usefull knowledge.

I believe someone could know how to fix the errors and problems on this chromium, but I'm not sure how i could be get enough slim to work in N900. Addblocker would help loading the pages, but is there any extensions (or mods to about:config) to prevent pictures of downloading or downgrading their quality and what would be best: to have ability to load a certain picture on demand with low quality when needed.

Probably some of you guys know how to make a browser use less ram and run faster by adjusting the config (I tried to adjust microb or was it fennec with greasemonkey scripts and it was a disaster). But it would take probably a lot of time. Just wanted to share this experiment if someone likes to try and maybe try to get it work. I don't have extra swap and on another thread someone talked about watchdog configs to help to prevent freeze.

With this chromium needs a lot of patience and no extra apps or windows open.
