How to install any web browser on Ubuntu 24.04 RISC-V 64?
Hi,
I am running Ubuntu 24.04 RISC-V 64 on my DC Roma II as well as on QEMU (on ARM). Now I noticed that the Chromium version on the DC Roma II is severely outdated and the QEMU Ubuntu doesn't come with any browser at all. So I tried this:
lars@ubuntu-riscv64-QEMU-Virtual-Machine:~$ sudo apt update
[sudo] password for lars:
Hit:1 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports noble InRelease
Hit:2 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports noble-updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports noble-backports InRelease
Hit:4 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports noble-security InRelease

Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
gnome-browser-connector
E: Package 'firefox' has no installation candidate
lars@ubuntu-riscv64-QEMU-Virtual-Machine:~$ sudo apt install chromium-browser

lars@ubuntu-riscv64-QEMU-Virtual-Machine:~$
So this didn't work. Is anyone here using Ubuntu 24.04 on RISC-V who has successfully installed any modern browser on it?
Thanks in advance!
