Chromium and Ungoogled Chromium DNF Repository

[cchinicz]

Hi,

Now I've updated the system (there were 27 updates) and Chromium is failing to update automatically (Plasma Desktop Workspace).

Is there any manual procedure I can do to update chromium? see below the error message, it's the same issue I circumvented when downloading through the rpm command.

Thanks in advance.

Status code: 500 for https://gitlab.com/chromium-ppc64le/chromium-ppc64le/-/jobs/682882047/artifacts/raw/docker-root/target/chromium-browser-stable-84.0.4147.125-1.ppc64le.rpm (IP: 172.65.251.78); Last error: Status code: 500 for https://gitlab.com/chromium-ppc64le/chromium-ppc64le/-/jobs/682882047/artifacts/raw/docker-root/target/chromium-browser-stable-84.0.4147.125-1.ppc64le.rpm (IP: 172.65.251.78)

Nothing you can do. Status code: 500 is an Internal Server Error.

A generic error message, given when an unexpected condition was encountered and no more specific message is suitable.

This is the latest release:
https://github.com/chromium-ppc64le/chromium-ppc64le/releases/tag/v84.0.4147.125-1

You can install this RPM.

Update: it worked but broke the update (through the UI/KDE or dnf update).

I had to uninstall using an RPM command in order to update other applications and kernel.

It seems the two methods (dnf and rpm) do not get along very well.

Wondering if you could re-base the build with the latest version 86? Many thanks

And btw is this gitlab repo sharing the same patches as that of https://github.com/leo-lb/ungoogled-chromium?

Guys can anyone tell me how to install Chromium on Debian? I did several tests but I never succeeded ...

[MauryG5]

Sorry guys but what happened to Chromium on Power? How come we are stuck at version 84.0.4147.125 and it doesn't update anymore? Has something happened or you have to run some new repository installation that I don't know?

I'm also a bit curious about what's happening with the Chromium port...Firefox is still very painful to use (no JIT) and it doesn't look like anyone has updated the Ungoogled/POWER port for a while now?

Typing this from a Blackbird on Ungoogled Chromium...

And if you say that you are one who directly follows the development the thing is serious ... I also tried to install the ungogled version on Ubuntu but it gives me the same error as the normal version, it is not available ...

[madscientist159]

I did some digging around today, it looks like the repositories are still being updated, and 88 might be buildable as of around a week ago:

https://github.com/leo-lb/ungoogled-chromium/commit/362ec8584e373b798f9e3e45f4791b2dae2d0ee3

I'll have to give it a try at some point...

However https://gitlab.com/chromium-ppc64le/chromium-ppc64le seems out-of-date

It is so frustrating that upstream chrome does not accept these patches https://github.com/leo-lb/ungoogled-chromium/blob/master/patches/series

[MauryG5]

Moral of the story we are still unfortunately still from what I see ... It didn't take, Chromium is the best on Power and not having it updated yet is bad ...

[MauryG5]

Hi guys sorry but I can't install Chromium from this package found in the link of the good TLE. Can you tell me how to install this package on Debian? Thanks, obviously I got the tar.xz archive to be able to install it on Debian ...

I am going to give it a try to revive the chromium-ppc64le project

here is my work on version 85 which is quite trivial to patch

https://gitlab.com/chromium-ppc64le/chromium-ppc64le/-/merge_requests/1

I will be slowly upgrading the project to version 91
