Subject description: The Open Source basis of Google Chrome		  
To run Chromium in Lucid, please read this message.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=555500#555500

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chromium 14 has made it easier to run as root. Thank you Chromium. This is a nightly build from JUN 28, 2011.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/Chromium-14-lucid525.pet

By request, here is an sfs version
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/Chromium-14-lucid525.sfs

Both versions have been revised as Dave S explains below so there is only one menu entry. Also, the start page has been changed to the one Chromium wants to use, because sometimes it failed to open the Puppy home page.

The pet version uses the browse icon on the desktop and the menu--the sfs version uses only the menu. I don't know what kind of problems it might have, but it starts and runs youtube for me.

It is relatively easy to use the Chromium pet to keep updated with Chromium. Just download the latest nightly and extract--it will make a folder named chrome-linux.

Then just delete /usr/lib/chrome-linux and replace it with the new one you just downloaded and extracted.

I get curious if it is difficult to make an sfs out of a pet?

Pets kind of get into the pupsave file while an sfs can be used by many puppies that have SFStray or other such SFS loaders. Very practical.

Not difficult. Let's see how long it takes.

It's done

It will take a few minutes to upload.

While we are waiting, here's the easy way to make any pet into an sfs.

1. Change the extension of the pet to tgz
2. Click the tgz file and extract
3. open a terminal in the directory that contains the extracted folder and enter
Code:
mksquashs nameofthepetfolder nameofthepetfolder.sfs -noI


Pets and sfs are not totally equivalent. For instance, in the Chromium pet the browse icon on the desktop works to start Chromium, but in the sfs it does not--you have to use the menu entry. The reason is that, as I understand it, pets will overwrite files, but sfs's won't.

The -noI parameter is something that seems to work for me to make reliable sfs's. As I understand it, it prevents the inode names or something from being compressed.

All done and uploaded

The pet or the sfs? If the sfs use the menu entry to try to start.

I don't know. I just installed the pet on a pristine frugal install of 5.2.5 and it worked.

Try this: go to the directory /usr/lib/chrome-linux and click chrome-wrapper. It should say, Chromium cannot be run as root. OK. Then open a terminal in that directory and enter
Code:
./chrome-wrapper --user-data-dir=/root/chromium14


Open a terminal by right-clicking while your cursor is in the directory, then choose Window -> Terminal here.

OK. what about the rest?

Is it possible you have installed and uninstalled pets on this full install? But giving the command in a terminal should show if any libraries are missing.

I downloaded the .pet and manually inserted it into Rexbang 2.3.3 in place of google-chrome 12.

So far so good. None of the issues that I have experienced with versions 11 or 12 have presented as yet.

Thank you playdayz!

yes I have installed/uninstalled several things. Chromium7 installed and works fine. 14 added 2 entries to the internet and 2 to the network menus and none start it.

bash: /chrome-wrapper: No such file or directory

Should be in /usr/lib/chrome-linux/. If it is not then something went wrong with the installation of the pet.

Great thanks playdayz for the SFS. I did a test using SFStray SFS loader and it works but as usual act up in a typical C. way. Refuses to find pages and one have to kill them and start all over and write www. and try again and kill them again and then suddenly it do accept to show some sites like streaming video on a local TV station but then refuses to show youtube and one have no idea why and one test Opera 11 SFS and that one instantly just works. So it is kind of a roller coaster ride. Smile

Much appreciated you described how to and uploaded it.

Running fine in Spup though it needs a lib pack. Some strange behavior with a double menu entry though.
