Chromium update pop-up

[safadig]

Any recommendation for an argument that disables Chromium Update ( failed update) check? I tried adding
chromium-browser --check-for-update-interval=1 --simulate-critical-update
can help stop the pop-up.
Tried adding arguments on usr/bin/grafana-kiosk command line but no luck

Same issue has been bugging me also for a while.

If anyone can find the correct Chrome flag to disable this, I can have a go at adding to the code.
I can't find the flag. The docs make it seem unlikely

--check-for-update-interval=1 --simulate-critical-update

is the right way to do this, because that should cause it to simulate a critical update every 60 seconds. @safadig are you saying for certain these flags work?

if running chrome browser with --simulate-critical-update flag it does not seem to pop up the the update window, instead it only displays a red arrow icon on the status bar. Only if you click the icon the pop up window will appear. How this works in full screen kiosk mode I don't know but +1 for fixing it :)

for me it was fixed by running sudo apt install chromium on the pi

[hawtkey]

sudo touch /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/01-disable-update-check;echo CHROMIUM_FLAGS=\"\$\{CHROMIUM_FLAGS\} --check-for-update-interval=31536000\" | sudo tee /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/01-disable-update-check

@karlbeecken - I did the same thing. It seems chromium doesn't have hardware acceleration, but that doesn't seem to be a big deal for a simple Grafana dashboard.

I'll add the flag --check-for-update-interval=31536000 to the default startup, seems to be a good workaround.

fixed in v1.0.3
