chromium ; needs libxcb-dri3.so.0

Post by gilles »

Hello,
I use chromium 85.0.4183.102 run as spot 32 bits on xenial 32 bits.
But, when I travel very far away, where I can't secure my computer, I take a very small netbook Eee PC 4G with raring (old version) in full install (RAM 512 Mo) because there is no risk people steal it...
To update it, I wanted to install the same chromium but it doesn't work. When I write "chromium" in the console, it tells me that libxcb-dri3.so.0 is missing
How can I do ?
Thank you

@gilles :-

According to my own Xenial 32, libxcb-dri3.so.0 is part of Xenial 32 by default.....OOTB. I'm curious; would you take a look in /usr/lib for us, please, and tell us if it's present? (Libxcb-dri3.so.0 is a sym-link to libxcb-dri3.so.0.0.0; has the sym-link got broken, somehow, or maybe deleted?)

Also, do this for us please; open a terminal, and enter

Code: Select all

which chromium

....followed by 'Enter'. (Should be /usr/bin/chromium, but I just want to make sure for the next step).

Assuming it is /usr/bin/chromium, now enter in the terminal

Code: Select all

ldd /usr/bin/chromium

....and hit 'Enter'. This will list all of Chromium's dependencies; have a scroll through, and note any that say "Missing", or "Not installed" or something similar. Let us know in your reply what the output was, okay?

Mike. ;)

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

Oops! Dead-nuts right, bigpup; didn't read the post quite carefully enough. Chromium ain't gonna run on there; Raring's way too old.....and Chromium always wants the very newest of everything.

Sorry, gilles. My bad.

Mike. :oops:

The last Chromium I can get running on my 32-bit is 65 for these kinds of dependencies.
