chromium_os-raspberry_pi's Issues

Add url link to Google Chromium OS mention in the Introduction

It might be helpful to link from the first mention of Chromium OS in the introduction to a page to provide more information, maybe this one? https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os

Hi 🤗

Is there a method to enable the developer mode in order to install apps like this:

Chromium OS can not start ?!

Please help me !
I have a Raspberry Pi 3B and wanna install Chromium OS. (I connect to HDMI montor 10 inches)
I download image (chromiumos_image_r72.img.xz) and flash into SD...
But it don't response when starting power the Raspberry Pi >> nothing display in the screen.

Please help me solve the problem.
Thks a lot.

Black screen no respond on pi 3 b+

Screen stays black.
Green led blinks for sometime the stops with just red led

Media Playback Freezes

This happen issue just happened today. For some reason, when I ever I play music on YouTube Music, and when the next song is about to play, the Pi 4 freezes up. It's getting really annoying.

Widevine CDM, Netflix

Firstly, thank you for your work on this.

Yesterday my cloudready laptop stopped playing Netflix properly, so while I investigated that, I took the opportunity to check out alternative options and found that I could install chromium os on my RPi 3B+ using this project. Hooray! When it came up immediately after imaging the microSD card, I was thrilled.

That thrill fizzled (womp womp) when I fired up Netflix, and got error code C7701-1003: We cannot find all the required components to play Netflix on this device. Please visit chrome://plugins, ensure that both the "Netflix" and the "Widevine Content Decryption Module" plug-ins are enabled and their "Always allowed" setting is checked.

Now, while the message itself is targeted at Chrome-the-browser, however, it should not be that difficult to get this working on chromium.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Plugins

How is there no mention at all about Chrome plugins?

I see zero on the homepage and here in the Readme.

I guess it is currently unsupported?

Build chromium OS with local browser

I noticed that in file overlay-rpi3/make.conf the way of building browser is set to local.
CHROME_ORIGIN=LOCAL_SOURCE.
Then I cloned a copy of chrome source code and put it in, and sync the code by command

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git
sync_chrome --tag=77.0.3865.126 --reset  $brower_path

By restarting build_parckage, cros_sdk found the browser souce code, but reported an error like this:

Do I need to set any other configuration to build the OS together with browser? It's not a problem for me whether CHROME_ORIGIN is LOCAL_SOURCE or from server. I simply want to build a image by myself. Thanks!

sudo default password?

Hi,
What is the default SUDO password?

I came through this link: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=227281
I downloaded the bin, with etcher, I wrote the bin into an SD, I started my raspi3b+ with the SD, and its immediately started chrome os, great work! thank you!.
Then,I open the terminal, I shell, and when I write "sudo command" and it ask me for a password. I can't do anything that I need without sudo privileges.

Thanks.

Error when I tried to install chromium with a family link account

Hello guys,

Thank you for your awsome work.
I've tried to install chromium r77r2 on a raspberry 4. I's perfect with a normal account, but it don't work if you tried with a google family link account. It begin well, but at the end it encounted an error, and it says that i have to do it another time. I tried with another family link account it's the same thing.

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "chromeos-base/chromeos-config-bsp" for /build/rpi3/.

I have been trying to compile my first ChromeOS these past 2 weeks. I believe I have got all my ducks in line as per the readme (and on the ChromeOS page).

But I get the following error on building the packages: ./build_packages --board=rpi3

I am still trying to discover what might be causing this, but I thought I might as well ask.

I am using Linux Mint 19.1

Constant Crashing on newest build

When I start up the device it allows me to login before crashing and restarting the system. I'm going to try the previous build soon as it may just be my device or sd card.
Edit: Previous os wont even get to start screen, it just gets stuck looping the colors startup

How to open developer mode, or any way to access terminal on pi 3?

Dim screen when inactive

I tried set brightness of display with

backlight_tool --set_brightness=xx //Work

Its work.
But when I try set power policy

Nothing happens. How I can dim screen by inactive delay?

autologin support?

Hi,
Thanks for the great work !
Im wondering is there a way to auto login the os? or Prevent turn off after 7-8mins on login page?
I found a reference for chromium os

widevine DRM

does anybody know, how to install libwidevine.so on this system ?

i know about this installscript https://gist.github.com/ruario/19a28d98d29d34ec9b184c42e5f8bf29
This works for chromium-browser on raspbian and archlinux. But not for this FydeOS.

Install apps or packages?

Is there any way to install apps apart from Chrome's Web Store or at least Linux packages like libcec etc?

Only 2gb of sd card space is available, even on 32 gb card.

In GParted, it shows tons of empty space. Can we fix this, please.

Disable display compositor or switch to xrender

Hello ,
I'm wondering if it is possible to disable screen compositing in this Chromium OS or just in chrome os in general.

The gpu compositing that is in place is causing graphical glitches and slow performance on these images on the rpi 4.

The raspberry pi 4 does not seem to currently work properly with opengl / GLX compositing and it runs wayyy better with it disabled if you can handle a little bit of tearing ( which is happening anyway with the current compositor)

So is it possible to disable compositing or switch it from OpenGL to xrender instead?

Thank you.

Input Method Error

I can't input Chinese in raspberry 3b+. Chromium os can't pass validation in China.

Password for chronos can't be changed.

No Sound over HDMI

Hello.

I was trying this build on my raspberry 3b+ and none sound over HDMI cable to my TV Samsung.

I tried mount partition with the config.txt and commented the hdmi_driver=2 parameter with no success. Only Jack audio is working.

Could you please tell me what to do to try?

Thanks you.

Raspberry Pi 3B+ GPU setting

Hi,

Thanks for the great work. I follow the instruction to install, the chrome browser is working fine. But when I use it to watch some .ts streaming video, it start to lag and choppy, and it finally stop rendering the video. So I start to realize may be I need to tune up the GPU memory for my raspi3b+, I tried to modify the config.txt file and change gpu_mem=16 (default ?) to gpu_mem=192, but it still the same, Now I have question,

Does this option under config.txt is working after kernel load up ? and Should I buy the MPEG2 & VC-1 license and add it under config.txt, will it take effect for better performance ?

Seems the chrome://gpu show up using hardware acceleration, but I want to confirm the config.txt is working under FydeOS before I buy the license.

Thanks.

[Issue report]

Describe the bug or issue
It's entirely possible that I'm missing something, but when I use the latest release it just boots into a kiosk mode. I couldn't find a way out of it in order to do an enterprise enrollment.

Describe your setup

• Raspberry Pi 3b
• Latest Release

To Reproduce
Fresh install using Etcher. Boot screen looks similar to older images, but post boot is just a periodic table web page that I can't get past.

Expected behaviour
I would expect the bootup to behave like the previous releases and allow me to login or attempt an enterprise enrollment.

No HDMI Out on Raspberry Pi 4

Hi there,

I tried to install the latest Build for the PI 4 but I dont get any Signal from the HDMI.
The Screen wakes up on Boot but it changes to no Signal.

I think I had it running for a Short time on my First try but I dont got it there anymore.

Bluetooth Issues

Can't turn on bluetooth, the button is greyed out. No idea what to do (tried turning it off and on)

Touchscreen Inverse X

Hi,
I successfully installed the latest build on Rpi4 and I'm using 22inches LCD monitor with USB touchscreen. Touchscreen is being detected by system as 'XDTouch IrTouchScreen' . Everything works fine BUT its X axis is inverted. I spent alot of time trying to do so, but I don't know "freon" at all.

If there was an XOrg then adding the following part to 'xorg.conf' would do the trick:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchscreen"
Driver "evdev"
(...)
Option "InvertX" "True"
EndSection

Is there any chance to configure it?

Make it more clear there are prebuilt disk images in the readme

From the current instructions it appears as though you need a lot of skills to install Chromium OS on a RP, however it looks like prebuilt images are available in the 'releases' tab, it would be really helpful if there was a note at the top of the readme that made this more clear

Thanks very much for working on this
