Google Chrome 88.0.4324.96-1 (Stable) not working

[Ace]

Hello, I have trouble running Google Chrome and it throws /opt/google/chrome/chrome: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error.

Here’s the output when running it from the terminal.

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: line 49: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: line 49: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: Success

Here’s the script file from /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome:

Sorry, new to bash scripting, don’t know where to look for.

Thanks!

The AUR package for google-chrome downloads the x86_64 bit version of chrome for Linux. Of course it won’t work on ARM.

Yes, but you can manipulate the PKGBUILD before makepkg to add aarch64 at 'arch={}' section. It doesn’t show any errors while building nor installing.

That not exactly how get pkgbuilds to works on ARM

There is no Chrome for aarch64. The closest you have is Chromium.

The PKGBUILD for Chrome, downloads a binary, and repackages it to an Arch package. It does not build it. So that’s why there is no errors building it, after changing the arch() line.

[Lolix]

There are no errors building the package because the packager haven’t used source_x86_64=() for an x86_64 specific ‘source’

Thanks @Lolix and @Strit for clarifying things for me. So, when will Chrome be available for aarch64 architecture?

When and if Google make it
