Chromium does not launching in Centaurus i386

I have installed Q4OS Centaurus, Trinity, install-cd - 32bit / i386 on my notebook yesterday, and installed Chromium browser using Q4OS Software Centre.
The problem is, after installation the Chromium browser does not launching at all.
I tried to reinstall, no success.
Firefox installs and launches successfuly.
And question: Which package should I install, to enable Flash Player in Firefox 32bit? I want to play Flash games.

Have you tried launching the Chromium browser from a terminal? Doing so may spit out some errors and help narrow down why it is not launching.

Re: Chromium does not launching in Centaurus i386

We are not able to reproduce the issue in VMs, Virtualbox 5.2.32 nor KVM 2.8.1. Chromium runs fine immediately after installation from the Software centre. Please try to run Chromium in terminal and post the output here.

As far as we know, the flash player support has been dropped at least for 32bit architecture in Debian 10 Firefox. You could try to follow Debian Stretch instructions https://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer

Re: Chromium does not launching in Centaurus i386

Flash is going away entirely next year (Adobe will kill it completely), so flash games should be going away.  Have you tried loading the games that you're playing to see if whoever is hosting them has redone them as html5 already?

Re: Chromium does not launching in Centaurus i386

I launched Chromium from Terminal, and yes, it returned error.

I installed chromium-sandbox, and after it Chromium started to launch normally.
Still, Terminal shows some errors.

I wonder, why chromium-sandbox does not installing automatically when I install Chromium...

Re: Chromium does not launching in Centaurus i386

The chromium-sandbox package is normally installed alongside with the chromium package. If not, this is a bug. Unfortunately, we are not able to reproduce that, installation of Chromium from the Q4OS Software centre pulls and installs chromium-sandbox correctly here. Did you make some custom configuration, that might prevent the package from being installed ? If you would provide the installation log "$HOME/.appsetup2/log/setup-q4os-chromium.log" it could be helpful.

Re: Chromium does not launching in Centaurus i386

We have performed a few tests, but we were not able to reproduce the issue. The "chromium-sandbox" package is always installed, whenever launching Chromium installation from Q4OS software centre.

Anyone else noticed this issue ? Any related findings would be appreciated.

The only thing I've made is on Synaptic package manager I disabled option "Consider recommended packages as dependences".
From log is seen that chromium-sandbox is recommended package.
Enabled this option, rebooted, now Chromium installs without problems. I thought Q4OS Software Centre uses apt-get utility for installation tasks.

Re: Chromium does not launching in Centaurus i386

Yes, "chromium-sandbox" is recommended by "chromium" package, it has no hard dependency. So it wouldn't be installed even using the "apt-get" utility as well as Synaptic package manager. It could be considered as a Debian bug.
