Where did you get Chromium?
How did you install it?

Have a similar trouble.
Frugal install of 5.2.8 and installed chromium-15-lucid form 528's quickpet.
Typing
Code:
chromium
in a terminal gives
Quote:
illegal instruction

although I see an entry in /usr/share/applications and the install seemed to go ok.
Next I took the advice of Semme and uninstalled chromium, installed pet for libgconf2 and then reinstalled chromium. But still nada.

FWIW I had troubles with chromium on slacko as well but so far no-one has come forward with any suggestions.

Any help appreciated.

I'd say remove any existing Chrome pets, including your ~/.config/google-chrome directory >>

Install the latest stable deb pkg >>

Then open your /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome script and add: --user-data-dir to line 42..
Code:
exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --user-data-dir

This seems to work- courtesy sassanh. Take it out for a test drive'n let's get some feedback..

Whoops- WRONG browser. Hopefully I'll be back with a fix for Chromium..

To mimmo- start it from a shell and dump any errors..

For you eternal-sunshine.. remove your ~/.config/chromium folder'n try again from a shell.

Search your system for "libgconf2" and forward the versions that show up..

Semme,
Thanks for trying to help.
I deleted ~/.config/chromium but get exactly what I did before using shell.

i.e. I did what you suggested above and downloaded from that place.
Version I got was libgconf-2.so.4.1.5

Hi chaps,

I have the same issue with puppy 5.2.8 on a sony vaio C1MSX:

Firefox: too slow (not usable)
Opera: OK but can't read flash (and it's incredibly complicated to install the plugin)
Midori: The same as Opera
Seamonkey: Too slow (unusable)
Chrome and Iron Chrome: Simply doesn't work.

I tried Chrome with Lubuntu, and it seems that having it working with Puppy would be the ideal world.

Could you please help?!

Regards,
