[韦懿]

I put the Chromebook into developer mode.And open the shell terminal.I want to open the browser using command line.Such as /opt/google/chrome/chrome.But it reports undefined symbol:gbm_bo_get_plane_fd error.Hope anyone can help me fix this problem.Thanks a lot.

Chrome://version on a Chromebook shows the command line used to launch Chrome. It is unbelievably long but you can possibly get some clues.

I have tried to excute this command in command line.But it is always pending, and can not launch the chrome browser.

Your developer mode terminal is your entry point into a containerised linux instance (worded much better when you opt to run linux).
The contents of any such instances don't get access to their hosts resources in the way that you're hoping/expecting.

The Chrome browser observed running in the photo is running in ChromeOS so the path displayed would be relevant if your terminal was running in ChromeOS but it isn't.

Your solution is to `sudo apt-get install chromium` in your shell which is what's required for Flutter development etc.
