Arch Linux User Repository

A new va-api patch for wayland has been added. Required flags for it to work are the following, thanks to @acidunit

--disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder
--enable-hardware-overlays

You can get prebuilt binaries here:

https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux#binary-downloads

Please do NOT flag this package as out of date in relation to official chromium releases.

This is NOT Google Chromium and new releases come after additional work of the ungoogled-chromium contributors, so they may not be ready, nor available for days or even weeks after a new version of official chromium is released.

Please refer to https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/tags for ungoogled-chromium releases. Use those and please flag this package as out of date only if a newer release is present there. I will update the PKGBUILD as soon as I can every time a new release comes out.

Thanks

@shardik For anyone who doesn't know how diff files work. Save the patch to a file in the same directory as your PKGBUILD and run patch <[filename].

@matoro: Arch's harfbuzz is too new. Here is a patch for the PKGBUILD:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

Disregard my previous message. If you want a built binary of this package you can have it here.

https://twistcloud.uk/index.php/s/adqt7srry8YYiTY/download

Hey aur users, $maintainer here.

So, since some people has said that they want hardware acceleration and this package doesn't provide it, you can download this binary built by me.

https://twistcloud.uk/index.php/s/adqt7srry8YYiTY/download

I didn't put anything malicious there btw. Of course, you will have to trust me lol.

The sha256 sum of the file is:

c1fa752a0429290053dafeea77d5717c8ed8ce9b25845497945d8a115c63df2d

In order to enable hardware acceleration with VA-API you need to follow this instructions:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chromium#Hardware_video_acceleration

@cybrid I got it compiling by setting ninja options -j and -l to half the number of cores on my machine. You can obtain the number of cores on your machine using the nproc command. For instance, If you have 4 cores, it would be ninja -j 2 -l 2. I'm hoping a more permanent solution can be found. If you run into other errors, try generating a PKGBUILD using the get_package.py script on the git.

Build process freezes my whole PC at browser_jumbo_8.o (as previously reported by TankMissile) Is there a way to mitigate this somehow?

Can you change provides=('chromium' to provides=("chromium=${pkgver}")?

I have a build python error : https://pastebin.com/raw/Qdk62WZZ
