It looks like Slackware 14.2 is starting to show its age when it comes to supporting Chromium. The packages that I uploaded earlier this week for Chromium (also -ungoogled) version 109.0.5414.74 failed to run on Slackware 14.2 despite the fact that they were successfully compiled on Slackware 14.2. The packages ran without complaint on Slackware 15.0 and -current however.
The cause was a run-time dependency on libdrm for which the minimum version requirement was increased in Chromium 109 and Slackware 14.2 contains a libdrm library that is now too old.
After finding that root cause, I have rebuilt the chromium (also -ungoogled) packages, this time using an internal copy of libdrm instead of relying on the system libraries. The BUILD=2 version of these packages is now available for download from my repository and its mirrors, they are working correctly on Slackware 14.2 again.
Have fun! Eric
Many thanks Eric – much appreciated.

Thank you, Eric! 🙂
Thanks for Chromium 109.0.5414.119 update!
Hum, Chromium 109.0.5414.119 fails on my machine (Slackware 15.0, up to date) with
[minigbm:drv_helpers.c(364)] DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed (31, 13)
Should I try the 14.2 version? 🙂
Is this 64bit or 32bit?
