<p dir="ltr">The chromium on SBo is extremely old. It would probably be beneficial to use Eric's slackbuild (he also provides pre-built packages).</p>

<p dir="ltr">As to your issues, have you tried running the slackbuild directly to see if it progresses?</p>

Google's Chrome on a Sony Vaio laptop running -14.1/x86_64 and I'm<br>
encountering problems I have not been able to resolve.<br>
<br>
  Last evening, the chromium.Slackbuild script ran for 107 minutes and<br>
halted with an error when a file in the source tree was not found. I shut<br>
down the laptop for the night. The MD5SUMs of the dowloaded .xz file and<br>
that reported on SBo are the same.<br>
<br>
  This morning the laptop is _very_ slow responding so I rebooted it. Now,<br>
when I run 'time ./chromium.Slackbuild' nothing happens other than the<br>
cursor moving to the head of a new line.<br>
<br>
  'top' shows nothing hogging the CPU or memory.<br>
<br>
  The script not starting is something I've not before encountered so I have<br>
no idea where to look for the reason.<br>
<br>
  A clue stick is needed to figure out why these issues suddenly occurred.<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
