Im running Kodibuntu and having problems with Chrome Launcher errors and failure to start.

I've followed the guide on http://www.flaterco.com/kb/KodiChrome.html and still will not launch.

Here is the log http://xbmclogs.com/ptazspvvi

Thanks!!

Here is the log http://xbmclogs.com/ptazspvvi

Relevant portion in the log starts from line 786 and the error is:

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

That typically means that the user running Kodi does not have access rights to run the script in question .. Forgot to do step 12 from the instructions ?

Forgot to do step 12 from the instructions ?

I thought I got that part right, but I'm fairly new to this!

I entered "chmod 755 /home/kyle/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.chrome.launcher/script.sh" in terminal and pressed enter - is that incorrect?

Thank you for the reply!

Alright, I re-entered the chmod 755 line and still get and error, here is the debug log http://xbmclogs.com/pwmopy02b

Ok, Just in case anyone else comes across this looking for answers or a "solve" - I got it! (ish)

My permission error was not with the script.sh, but with the browser.sh which is the custom script line in the setup for Chrome Launcher. The problem being that "/home/kyle/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.chrome.launcher/script.sh" was made executable by adding "chmod 755" in terminal, but "/home/kyle/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.chrome.launcher/browser.sh" was not, so in terminal I entered "chmod 755 /home/kyle/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.chrome.launcher/browser.sh" and bam! It ran!

I still wasn't getting chrome launcher to come up full screen, so I had to go back in vi through a terminal, which took me forever how to figure out how to do, but it's really as simple as entering "vi /home/kyle/.kodi/addons/plugin.program.chrome.launcher/script.sh" and then hitting enter. Editing in vi is weird, if you're new to it, google a tutorial. once I was inside the file in vi, I had to replace what was there with:

"#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/google-chrome --window-size=1920,1080 --window-position=0,0 --chrome-frame "$@"

after that enter ":w" to save and ":q" to quit vi.

I reopened Netflix via Chrome Launcher, fell to my knees and began to weep, for I, a lowly scrub had actually managed to troubleshoot and solve an IT issue. The victory was bittersweet though, as I lifted my head to bask in the glory that was my victory, my girlfriend commented the video was playing with no audio. fuck.

After some google searching (and some soul searching) I experimented with numerous possible solves, with no avail. I considered the thought perhaps It was just me, and I had become deaf, but my girlfriend quickly troubleshot that issue for me. I am not deaf, and yes the garbage is out.

So here I stand, at another roadblock on the path to perfection, but I will not be bested by it - oh no, I will simply disable GUI sound, enter a string of code I do not understand and pray.
