Linux Apps not working on certain R69 builds #198

Voted there, but just commenting here as well though. Well my tablet has a TPM 2.0 Chip, it's enabled and definitely not recognized at all, but linux apps work. However, even with disabling it, linux apps work like they should (apart from sound which is probably not implemented).

regards

Thanks @dnnyy . Just trying to find some commonality. I didn't really expect TPM to have anything to do with it, but only have a couple of reference machines to play with!

dnnyy commented 6 years ago

@arnoldthebat as far as I digged through the source, TPM is only used within platform2 for various operations like cryptohome (login) and other things, but I don't think anything is related to the container support, since it works perfectly on my cube mix plus. Other then that, as far as I know TPM is really only used hard in the official crOS builds and not in the open source chromium project, I'm pretty sure it's disabled by default.

I dont think TPM has anything to do with Linux, but virtualization support in your Hardware / Bios may do, since linux apps run in a virtual machine (kvm based) managed by crosvm.

On TPM, I have TPM 2.0 chip and chromiumos also requires it if you need to access EAP-TLS wifi networks, some VPNS, and even to login to Office 365 Enterprise networks. Without proper support for TPM 2.0, ChromiumOs and ChromeOS are crippled. For example, I can't login to Wifi at work, I can't login to my Office 365 web portal. I can't import CA certificates, etc.
