Which PPA is that exactly? Can't you use the regular ubuntu packages
from the archive?

It puzzles me that this should work at all. Chromium packages (as
opposed to Chrome) never ship widevine binaries, they can't for legal
reasons. So I don't see how that script that generates a package from
chromium (not *chrome*) might possibly include working widevine
binaries.

I guess you would need to get your hands on an actual chromebook to
extract the binaries from there, but that's pure speculation as I don't
have such hardware.
