Grafana-image-renderer error "Failed to get browser version" err=map[]

Hi. I installed grafana-image-renderer plugin. The following error was recorded in /var/log/grafana/grafana.log when I restarted grafana-server.

lvl=eror msg="Failed to get browser version" logger=plugins.backend pluginId=grafana-image-renderer err=map[]

Some libraries for chrome wasn’t installed. So I installed the libraries and I was able to display chrome version.

sudo dnf install -y atk at-spi2-atk cups-libs libdrm libxcb libX11 libXcomposite libXdamage libXfixes libXrandr mesa-libgbm pango cairo alsa-lib

sudo /usr/local/grafana/plugins/grafana-image-renderer/chrome-linux/chrome --version
Chromium 100.0.4889.0

But The following error was still recorded in /var/log/grafana/grafana.log when I restarted grafana-server.

Thank you for your advice.
I installed the libraries on the following page. Then “Failed to get browser version” error didn’t occur.

But next the following error occured when I rendered a panel image by Panel > Share > Link tab > Direct lik rendered image.

Hi @gont, welcome to the :grafana: community.

My best guess here is that, there might be some dependencies issue which is causing it but cannot pinpoint its root cause.

Maybe go 1 step back (if possible) and try this article ;

So that you can increase the log level to more verbosity only for rendering and then can give you more insights and can try to help you out further.
