I have not been able to get the Chromium browser from AlienBob's package (chromium-76.0.3809.132-x86_64-1alien) working on my Slackware64-14.2. I figure I am likely missing a library or some other component that is required. I posted the following on Eric's Blog today:
I can’t seem to get new (or any) chromium package to run properly on my 14.2 (X86-64). I must be missing libraries. I can get into my local router address 192.168.1.XXX but can’t seem to navigate to other URLs. I was getting some Slackware pages to come up but I figure they must have been cached somewhere. I can bring up the settings page but it will crash when I try to change anything! Any idea what I might be missing?
If anyone has similar issues and resolved them please advise.
Oh yeah, be sure to keep your patches current, if you're using any of Alien Bob's packages. He assumes you're patched to whatever the official changelog has.
