I have installed FGU on several Chromebooks in the past and gotten it to work. Today I was talking a remote player through the process. We attempted installation both through Steam and through a native Linux installation, both of which methods I have had success with previously. In both cases everything seems to work just fine, right up until the FGU Updater starts. Here, we get a window titled FGUpdaterEngine, but the contents are black and nothing ever appears in the window. I have several guesses, including that the machine just doesn't have what it takes to run the program, and I certainly don't expect any magic solutions, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar that might indicate a direction for future exploration. Thanks in advance.

Is your player running an Ubuntu distro of release 16.04 or higher?

He was just using the native Linux terminal. We'll try it with Ubuntu and I'll get back to you.

We installed Ubuntu 20.04 using these instructions: https://intertwingly.net/blog/2020/07/21/Ubuntu-20-04-on-Chromebook, installed Fantasy Grounds from the Linux Terminal, and it worked perfectly. Thanks!!
