Chromium (or any other browser) with WebGL support on JetPack 5.1.1/L4T 35.3.1

[peter.fritz]

Hello,
currently we are using the Jetson orin nano with JetPack 5.1.1, L4T 35.3.1.

As many others we wanted to use chromium with WebGL support and hardware acceleration. But
unfortunately there is the problem with snap.

So we installed chromium via the debian package (Packages in “chromium” : chromium : Nathan Teodosio)

The installation worked but to run chromium we need to update glibc to >= 2.35.

My questions are now:
Is there any plan to release a new Jetpack version with Ubuntu 22 or with an glibc version >= 2.35 in the near future?
Would it be safe to use Jetpack 5.1.1 or Jetpack 5.1.2 with glibc 2.35?

Or maybe someone knew another solution to run chromium or any other browser on the jetson with WebGL support.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi,
WebGL is not enabled for Jetpack 5 release.s We are evaluating to upgrade to Ubuntu 22 in the future.

Hello @DaneLLL,
thanks for the quick reply!

I also seen your other post (Webgl support on orin - #3 by DaneLLL)
where you mention, that it should work with the debian Chromium package from Nathan.
I gave that package a try but it needs libc6 >= 2.35. Updating libc to 2.35 failed for me and I had
to reinstall the orin nano.

Does “WebGL not enabled in Jetpack 5” means, that even
if I would build chromium on my own on the orin nano, it doesn’t support WebGL?

I did a cross build of Chromium on Ubuntu x64 for Ubuntu ARM64 and WebGL works now with Chromium on the orin nano.
