Issues launching Chromium-based browsers (Brave/Chromium) on Jetson Orin NX 8GB – JetPack 6.0

Hello,

I am experiencing issues launching Chromium-based browsers on my Jetson Orin NX 8GB module running JetPack 6.0.

Problem Description: I have attempted to install both Brave and Chromium, but neither application will initialize. There are no visible error pop-ups or windows; the applications simply fail to open after the launch command is issued.

Steps Taken:

  1. Brave Browser: Installed via the default Software Center GUI. The installation completed successfully, but the app does not open.

  2. Chromium: Installed via terminal using sudo apt install -y chromium-browser. The package installed without errors, but the browser fails to launch.

Environment:

  • Hardware: Jetson Orin NX 8GB

  • Software: JetPack 6.0 (L4T 36.x)

  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Could you please provide the recommended or β€œoptimal” method for installing and running a stable Chrome-based browser on this specific JetPack 6 configuration? Are there specific flags or GPU-acceleration environment variables required for Chromium to run on the Orin NX?

Thank you for your assistance.
