If I would make a tutorial, would it be a discussion on the gentoo talk web page or a youtube video or something else? What is the most interesting thing for other users here? Is it the compilation of chromium and the fixing of the nghttp2 problem or is the installation of gentoo prefix on

Chromium seems to be running normally. Google searches work OK on it. The output to the terminal before it runs is as follows: mikef@fart:~/gentoo/etc/portage$ /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/bin/chromium /etc/chromium/master_preferences: line 2: distribution:: command not found

Also, when I was doing the non root xorg stuff I ran the following four commands: chown -v :input /usr/bin/Xorg chmod -v g+s /usr/bin/Xorg gpasswd -d user input usermod -a -G video user I got them from the gentoo non root xorg web page. I hope they have not contributed to the problem.

I ran the command you suggested (should it be the chown command for a group - would the chgrp command be help here?): root@fart:/home/mikef/gentoo# chown root: /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox root@fart:/home/mikef/gentoo# It still gives the same error: mikef@fart:~$

Chromium is just not going to be helpful here. If you've got root, you'll have to do something like: # chmod 4755 /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox # chown root /home/mikef/gentoo/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/chrome-sandbox then run chromium as user. Fabian On

Michael, I don't think you should be trying to run startx at all. In fact, I think you already have one x running, so why run another one? This is typically one such thing that needs "root" privileges, and most likely you can also just use as-is from the host system. Why won't chromium start
