I'm getting the same error/problem why I try to install an extension. Tried using Google Chrome, and get the same error/problem.

Google Chrome is not available for ppc64le, I assume you mean Chromium with the ppc64le patches applied? I suppose @shawnanastasio might know more about this.

I have another machine with Google Chrome installed (v73.0.3683.103), and was getting the same problem.

I think there's something going on with Google's CRX format (CRX2 vs CRX3). I would try getting the CRX2 format and try installing.

Extension installation on upstream chromium + the ppc64le patches works as expected, so I'm inclined to believe the issue lies with the ungoogled patchset and isn't directly related to the ppc64le patches.

@shawnanastasio Which version?

llebout commented 5 years ago

I'm going to rebase on upstream, they released 74.x - and see if the issue is still present.

shawnanastasio commented 5 years ago

@leo-lb I tested on 75.0.3731.0

Ends up being a non-issue, using crx extensions from this link fixes the issue: https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx?response=redirect&os=win&arch=x86-64&os_arch=x86-64&nacl_arch=x86-64&prod=chromiumcrx&prodchannel=unknown&prodversion=73.0.3683.86&acceptformat=crx2,crx3&x=id%3D[EXTENSION_ID]%26uc

Replace [EXTENSION_ID] by the extension ID, it can be found in the chrome web store url.
