When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Stable updates" tag in Release blog for this.

You can also run this command to obtain the version string for the latest chrome version:

$ curl -sSf https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages | \
     grep -A1 "Package: google-chrome-stable" | \
     awk '/Version/{print $2}' | \
     cut -d '-' -f1

Do not report updates for ChromeOS, Android or other platforms stable versions as updates here.

@birdmun: Can confirm, worked fine until a full system update recently and now it's completely broken. I've tried reverting mesa and libglvnd back several months to no avail. With --disable-gpu provided, it silently hangs. With --disable-software-rasterizer as well, it then provides a different error entirely.

Curiously: sudo google-chrome-stable --no-sandbox allows Chrome to load, but it's quite unstable, not connected to my user account, and seriously far from ideal!

Edit: Ok, I downgraded to 77.0.3865.120, and it's working again. The jump to v78 seems to have been the commit that killed it.

Am I the only person having errors trying to run the latest stable version of Chrome?

Worse yet the process continues to run in the background without offering anything to interact with.

Can I simply just say what a comfort to find somebody that really knows what they're discussing on the internet You definitely understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people really need to read this and understand this side of your story. It's surprising you're not more popular since you certainly possess the gift. https://www.papersjunction.co.uk

@tomrlopes When installing I've just used the package as is without changing anything (built in a freshly created Docker container). The CastLabs Demos are not working for me either. What does is the Bitmovin Player Demo [1]. On that page you also should see widevine EME detected and the video should be playable.

@ruario First I apologize I'm a noob. I have the file libwidevinecdm.so in /opt/google/chrome and in the aur git directory I use /home/tom/software/google-chrome/pkg/google-chrome/opt/google/chrome but the drm videos on https://demo.castlabs.com/ won't play.

@det good question. I don't have any power to clean those comments here though I'd prefer to keep the comments clean of spam and it seems there is no anti-spam measure in place to keep the bots out… :(

Det commented on 2019-09-04 09:09 (UTC)

How did spam like take over AUR since I left and there's nothing to be like done about it?

ruario commented on 2019-09-02 04:39 (UTC)

@tomrlopes That is not a problem. It has never been listed in chrome://components/ on Linux because it does not use the components mechanism to update on Linux. It is just a bundled file. Look for libwidevinecdm.so within the package. If you want to see if it is working, go to https://demo.castlabs.com and select one of the videos tagged with DRM.
