Google-Chrome beta 2

[DMcCunney]

I get these errors with the sandbox enabled:

What happens if you don't have the sandbox enabled?

It works without the sandbox.

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this!"
"So don't do that!"

Don't use the sandbox.

My flash drive and pupsave are ok. With the sandbox enabled here are the errors after trying it again:

Code: Select all

<I killed it here as it does not do any thing. Waited around 10mins to see if it did any thing but it did not do any thing.>

I think the "Cannot chdir to / after chroot: Stale NFS file handle " is the problem, and the rest stems from that. As mentioned, the sandbox is Windows specific. I wouldn't expect it to work under Linux. I'm not particularly concerned about vulnerabilities because I am using Linux, and the majority of the bad stuff the sandbox is intended to ward against targets Windows and won't work on Linux.

Hi GrumpyWolf
I tried beta2 on my old laptop and it works great. I it's fast when loads pages and Flash is OK. Unfortunately Flash is a little heavy for the PII of my PC. I can see no more than 1 frame per second. Curiously using seamonkey I can have a good TV streaming with gxine while see a film on youtube is a mess with every browser.
I read that Chrome can work using Html5 that is less heavy for CPU. Is it possible to use it instead of Flash?
Beta2 asks me to install a plugin where gxine should work with a link that starts Mediaplayer (it doesn't install). Any hint?

Hi,
I tried goggle-chrome-beta3.pet but there are no news: html5 doesn't work in youtube and media player plugin is required in some sites but it's not possible load gxine or similar plugins.
Like someone advice me I try to read flv with gxine in /tmp but also this didn't work and you can see the application error below:

Code: Select all

# gxine
AFD changed from -2 to -1
The program 'gxine' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 372 error_code 11 request_code 140 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.

)
gxine crashes. If I try to start gxine again the result is

Code: Select all

# gxine
AFD changed from -2 to -1

gxine doesn't crash but goes to stop state.
Hints?

I've been playing on my old laptop to see if it will play flash smoothly on HTML5 and came across this post, funnily enough i'm using the HP XE2 PII 400mhz, did you get HTML5 video to play or am I asking to much of the 12 year old technology Flash has always maxxed out the CPU i was hoping HTML5 would work better.
