[DEV] An attempt to package chromium for ppc64le in the official Fedora DNF repo
MauryG5:
guys there is a problem after the last Chromium update, after it opens the main window, it crashes, exits and closes everything. I use it on Debian 12 so the problem is precisely the last update. I think the same will happen if you update to the latest version of Fedora. So be careful and I hope that Raptor is already aware of the problem to fix the bug.

What version do you have issue with?
MauryG5:
I had the problem with the last update, but even after the update, it still didn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chromium, but the bug still persisted. I then decided to delete all the Chromium files, then uninstall and reinstall again, and this time it worked. So perhaps the problem was with some additional file that Chromium uses to work.

I am running v138.0.7204.157-1.fc43 on Fedora 43 and it works fine
MauryG5:
But now mine is working properly again. I thought it was a bug because it happened during an update, so I thought it was just a bug. Instead, it was my Chromium that had a problem, and I had to reinstall everything and delete all the files it retained.
What I'm most disappointed about is that I can't have Chromium on Ubuntu now that this distro finally works well on Power after such a long time. The good thing is that since it's a deb package, it should be fully compatible, but instead I've tried installing it several times, but nothing, it just won't work. What a shame, damn it.
