hi

I followed this steps:

wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87113035/chromium-browser-l10n_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_all.deb
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87113035/chromium-browser_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_armhf.deb
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87113035/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i chromium-browser-l10n_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_all.deb chromium-browser_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_armhf.deb

finally chromium browser seems to install correctly but when open it does not work and is not displayed

Hm, the post that @jmadero links to is from Jan, but I installed Chromium just a few weeks ago successfully. Did you run this first before trying to install chromium?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

This step is necessary for making sure you’ve got the latest repository lists, I think.

Also, when you open the chromium browser that you did install, what exactly happens? Does the browser itself not work, or are you not seeing the MagicMirror page? Once again, please be specific!

the pi is fully updated

does not come out anything on the screen, it seems that it is running but nothing shows up, I put a video sample:

Chromium isn’t necessary. I use Midori and execute “midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:3000”
