Neither Chromium nor Firefox browser run on my Jetson Orin Nano Super Development kit. The OS was freshly installed 3 times, Chromium has been deleted and re-install again. Firefox was installed but was having the same symptom. They were ran before and after Ubuntu was upgraded to 24.02 without help.
The symptom is: After the icon was clicked, the browser was starting up and the tab vanished after about 10 seconds.
I’m having the same issue. The only workaround I have is to install a web browser from flatpack which is similar to snap. After looking around forums, it seems SELinux is preventing the browser from opening even though Ubuntu uses App Armor and not SELinux. I tried to look further into removing or disabling SELinux, but non solves the issue. Gotta try to figure this out.
In the meantime you can follow this guide on installing flatpak: https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu
Open a terminal and run the following commands.
After restarting you can now start installing a web browser i.e: flatpack install firefox
To make sure you are running the flatpak version of Firefox, run it via cli: flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox
Thanks for the wonderful advise. I am now able to run the flatpak version of firefox on my Orin Nano as a temporary workaround.
I am looking forward to having the permanent solution from wither Ubuntu or Nvidia.
Once again, thanks so much for the advice.
Keyed in the command as suggested (sudo snap revert snapd) and I got the following error:
error: cannot revert “snapd”: no revision to revert to
following the link provided, I tried the following commands:
sudo apr-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo snap revert snapd
sudo reboot
The same problem persist after reboot.
In the same boat (no revision to revert to), and no browsers are working. I am going to try the flatpak workaround.
I’ve been reading of people having the same issue after running the commad. Best bet is to keep on using flatpak version of web browsers. I’m doing the same.
