Error running chromium rockpi4

Troubleshooting
1

Hi all,

Yesterday I installed the latest version of DietPi on a RockPi 4B v1.72, when I try to open chromium I get these logs and the program exits:

Maybe the GPU acceleration support for RK3399 that was announced here is not working properly?
I tried to run chromium with --disable-gpu but it doesn’t have any effect.
Any tips would me much appreciated, thank you in advance!

MichaIng
can you have a look pls.

3

The dedicated RK3399 GPU acceleration has btw superseded already as with Bullseye and Linux 5.10 (Armbian kernel) the open Mesa GPU drivers support this SoC quite well.

How you do start Chromium, and with which user?
Do you have a desktop installed?
If so does the desktop start fine?
And does Chromium start from within the desktop session?

4

Hi MichaIng, I’ve tried to run it from the Desktop menu and from the terminal, I’ve tried across 3 different desktops, Mate, XFCE and LXDE (all 3 desktops start fine, only problem right now is chromium) and i tried with users dietpi and root. In every scenario I get the same error.
I also already tried to purge chromium and reinstall it, no luck.

Not sure if it’s relevant, but Firefox starts just fine, but youtube video playback is quite poor. When I run Kodi i can play 1080p@60 but not 4k@30.

5

Can you run the following from console (without a desktop session up) and paste the output?

xinit "$(which chromium)"

and try to remove the EGL flag:

sed -i 's/ --use-gl=egl//' /etc/chromium.d/custom_flags /root/.chromium-browser.init
xinit "$(which chromium)"
6

FYI, I came across exact same issues on Odroid C4 board with the latest 8.1 built.
The followings are logs after bashing suggested command:

dietpi@DietPi:~$ sudo sed -i 's/ --use-gl=egl//' /etc/chromium.d/custom_flags /root/.chromium-browser.init
dietpi@DietPi:~$ sudo xinit "$(which chromium)"

It seems to be a buffer overflow in C code, also when it is tried to access an array entry outside of the defined array length:

Also found on RPi, at least with the Debian Chromium sources, not the RPi “chromium-browser” package in those cases:

Looks like a bug in Chromium itself, but affecting a wider range of versions, since Chromium 90 is shipped with Bullseye and in one case it was reported with Chromium 97 from Bookworm.

Just to rule it out, does it change something when moving the config files out of the way:

mv /etc/chromium.d/custom_flags{,.bak}
mv /root/.chromium-browser.init{,.bak}
xinit "$(which chromium)"

For the bus errors, not sure whether this may help:

apt install dbus

and in case

apt install libpam-systemd
systemctl unmask systemd-logind
systemctl start systemd-logind

MichaIng, I appreciate your help.

Just to rule it out, does it change something when moving the config files out of the way: = No, it does not change
For the bus errors, not sure whether this may help: = Same errors reported

Is there any way to obtain the older image just to get this feature working?

9

No, we do not provider Buster images. Mid- to long-term this causes much more issues than what it may solve. Better to debug, report upstream or fix things forwards, at least for a small team like us.

Can you also show:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

There is sufficient free RAM available, isn’t it?

Here a related bug report on Debian’s bug tracker: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1004368
An x86_64 machine. Interestingly, while the same “Stack smashing detected” messages appear during several actions, Chromium itself starts. So probably it is not even directly related. The X server log may provide more details.

I’ll play a bit with a VM now, lets see whether I get the same errors.

10

The memory is 152M out of 3.63G.

Here’s Xorg.0.log

Looks like a client (Chromium) issue, and not one with the X server. We just have another case with Odroid C4 which looks similar at first sight, i.e. other X clients run fine, only Chromium fails. I’ll try it on Odroid N2.

12

Yet another case with Radxa Zero, narrows down to be Debian’s Chromium on ARMv8 systems: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/5300

13

I found a workaround:

apt install chromium/bullseye chromium-common/bullseye
rm -Rf /{root,home/*}/.{cache,config}/chromium

This will downgrade Chromium from v98 (from Debian security repo) to v90 (from regular Debian repo). That one starts up without issues.

Any next “apt upgrade” incl. “dietpi-update” will upgrade it again. To lock it:

apt-mark hold chromium chromium-common

I’ll report this to the Debian bug tracker.

14

This was verified to fix the issue on Odriod N2+.
Once again, I very appreciate your support. Kudo.

15

Great, thanks for the feedback. I’m not sure how to deal with it, I’m not keen to actively ship an outdated Chromium version with security vulnerabilities. I reported this to Debian already, but so far no answer: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1006457

16

The workaround has successfully got Chromium working in Kiosk mode on Odroid C2. Thanks a lot…

17

Unfortunately this method doesn’t work anymore :frowning:
Is there any other way to downgrade to v90 ?

18

means the latest version chromium 99.0.4844 is still having the issue for you?

19

Yes, the branch got updated to v99 and is no longer working. I got it running again by adding buster sources to apt source list and specifying buster instead of bullseye to install chromium, and manually installing a dependency pixbuf

20

Could you describe step by step how you did it? Tried installing chromium from ‘buster’ but had dependency issues and continuing would uninstall the lxqt package.

root@DietPi:/home/odroid# apt install chromium/buster
