You might look to copying "rock" user's Chromium directory, (and changing the new copy to use the new user's ownership and group).

Others solved the problem by changing "rock" user's name to their own preferred name. Instructions in the Wiki.

Other than that, I don't know.

Copying the Chromium directory does not seem to make a difference.

I will have a go at renaming rock, although I did mess this up last time I tried it! I had the same problem as described here:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...9#pid61869
I must be doing something wrong so I will re-read the Wiki and have another go.

Thank you for your help.

IIRC the mrfixit update script drops widevine into the user home dir... it could be hardcoded to rock?

I don't think so, but I might not be understanding the script correctly. This is what the script contains...

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# Script must be run as root
if (( $EUID != 0 )); then
        echo "Please run as root. Exiting..."
        sleep 3
        exit
fi

printMsg() {
        echo
        echo $1
        sleep 0.5
}

printMsg "Making sure dependencies are in place..."
apt install -qq wget &> /dev/null

printMsg "To get the latest widevine library we must download the entire 2gb ChromeOS recovery image (will later be deleted). Please be patient, this may take a while..."
echo
echo
CHROMEOS_URL="$(wget -qO- https://dl.google.com/dl/edgedl/chromeos/recovery/recovery.conf | grep -A11 CB5-312T | sed -n 's/^url=//p')"
CHROMEOS_IMG="$(basename "$CHROMEOS_URL" .zip)"
wget -O - "$CHROMEOS_URL" | zcat > "$CHROMEOS_IMG"

printMsg "Mounting the image to pull the files from it..."
mkdir -p chromeos_tmp
LOOPDEV="$(losetup -f)"
losetup -Pf "$CHROMEOS_IMG"
mount -o ro "${LOOPDEV}p3" chromeos_tmp

printMsg "Updating widevine..."
cp chromeos_tmp/opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser
cp chromeos_tmp/opt/google/chrome/pepper /usr/lib/chromium-browser -r

printMsg "Cleaning up..."
umount chromeos_tmp
losetup -d "$LOOPDEV"
rm -f "$CHROMEOS_IMG"
rm -fr chromeos_tmp

printMsg "WIDevine Updater Completed"
sleep 5
