Chromium stopped working on Acer Aspire One – fixed
In this post I described how to install Chromium on the Linpus version of the Acer Aspire One.
However a number of you had let me know that the process had stopped working, and nothing happened after you clicked on the Chromium Icon.
So I downloaded and installed the latest version and found that I go the same problem.
When I ran Chromium from the command line I got the following error:
/opt/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Fortunately the excellent Macles site had the sollution:
After you have completed the steps described in the previous post:
- Open a terminal window and type the following 2 lines
- rm -rf /opt/chrome-linux/libs/libbz2.so.1.0
- ln -s /lib/libbz2.so.1 /opt/chrome-linux/libs/libbz2.so.1.0

Hi
It’s strange that it worked once and then stopped.
Does it run from the terminal window? or do you get an error message?
Cheers

I’d never got Chrome to work. However I tried the Macles fix – still nothing – then tried your command line from the terminal. Bingo! Chrome now works, including from the desktop icons (I now have 3 of the same but who cares, it works!). Thanks for your help – again!
