Comment 0 for bug 1718885

Hi,

on one of my kiosk systems running xubuntu 16.04.2 (Kernelversion 4.4.0-28-generic) chromium stop working today. It just won't start anymore. When try to run the launcher from shell it just reports:

/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser: error while loading shared libraries: libffmpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The funny thing is ffmpeg was never installed in the first place and chromium runs just fine in the context of a normal userprofile.

I check the apt histroy and saw chromium was updated and I installed ffmpeg in the hopes to solve the issue but to no avail. Now I can find libffmpeg in the guest user contest via locate but chromium still repsonds with the same error message.

apt-cache policy chromium-browser

I start chromium via a custom starter with line:
chromium-browser %U --app=http://quickborn.library4you.de/iopac/main.php --
kiosk

and the behavior started after unattende upgrades
