    G_DIETPI_VERSION_CORE=8
    G_DIETPI_VERSION_SUB=9
    G_DIETPI_VERSION_RC=2
    G_GITBRANCH=‘master’
    G_GITOWNER=‘MichaIng’

    buster 1

  • Kernel version
    Linux pi 5.10.103-v7+ #1529 SMP Tue Mar 8 12:21:37 GMT 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

Well, you are running old Debian Buster. You might need to think of switch to Debian Bullseye. DietPi – How to upgrade to “Bullseye” – DietPi Blog

root@DietPi3:~# apt show chromium-browser
Package: chromium-browser
Version: 104.0.5112.105-rpt2

Perfect, thanks!

I’ll report back with my results.

Yes, that worked to update Chromium Browser to version 104 - which is much better.

However, now I have a new problem - VNC won’t let me in to the desktop like it did before the upgrade.

So, right now, I cannot test the Google account login - lol.

But that’s for a new thread!
