Tested briefly and working in Wheezy, Precise and Upup Raring.

Works in Slacko 5.6 if you install libgconf2 and libgnome-keyring (use the search in PPM). With earlier Slackos you may also need to update the nss libs (which are in the Firefox directory).
Thanks for this Oscar. I have been using your earlier versions in Slacko-5502 and I could live with the youtube problem but I couldn't get them to print. This latest version has cured both problems and is performing flawlessly. :D

I'm not using the 0micko's adrive so I didn't have libnss3.so or libnssutil3.so. I grabbed them out of a recent seamonkey and popped them into /usr/lib/Chromium, works fine.

I picked up a couple of addons from http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/, chromium-pdf-plugin and chromium-pepperflash-plugin. I have packaged them as pets. chromium-31.0.1650.57-pdf_reader.pet works very nicely turning the browser into a pdf reader. chromium-pepperflash-plugin-11.9.900.152.pet really bogs down my little atom N270 so I'm sticking with the stock flashplayer but on more powerful machines it will probably be fine. I've modified your /usr/bin/chromium to:

Code: Select all

exec /usr/lib/Chromium/chromium-wrapper "$@" --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
. This way it doesn't replace libflashplayer.so for other browsers.

Thanks again, J

Hi Oscar; Yandex really makes a mess out of it`s urls ( intentionally I`m sure...).
I`m making a no-install Virtual Package with your SFS file and can`t get wget to dnld it.

Yandex apparently hashes the urls so they`re never the same.
So it`s necessary to scrape the page to get the current url from it.

Do you know of any way to allow wget to easily dnld from Yandex.?

# Nice job with your apps, your Chromium apparently works for many Puppies.
This is the kind of apps Puppy really needs, "cross-variant functioning apps".

Hi sunburnt,

Thanks for alerting me to the Yandex / wget issue, I wasn't aware of it and don't know of a fix off hand. Maybe I should look for an alternative storage facilty.

As always, my apps are just me tinkering around. I publish them with an open invitation to anyone to fill in the gaps in my knowledge, but also if they prove useful to other users then that is great.

I have also recently uploaded packages of Google Chrome version 31.0.1650.57 and Iron 29.0.1600.1 if anyone wants to check those out. In both cases I have moved the main folder to /usr/lib rather than /opt/google or /usr/share respectively.

You sound like myself, always looking for a better way to do things.

Personally I like adding apps to /opt and keeping /usr relatively clean.
Most of what I write or make goes in /opt/(app) It`s a good place to add apps.

I found out how bad many urls are making my add-on support utility: xdlg.dnldprogress
I solved Yandex and other sites problem by making the /path/file a cli argument.
But this probably won`t solve really messed up urls that are ment to stop download apps.

Some year ago people reported problem with Chrome
and being root. Are you using spot or some other workaround
and is it a frugal install?

@ nooby

The problem of running as root has been resolved by using a flag in the launcher script to specify a directory where the user profile data will be stored, eg:-
--user-data-dir=/root/.config/chromium

I normally run frugal installs, but my Chromiums (or Google Chromes or Irons) should work equally well in full installs.

I have a SFS file: chromium-30.0.1568.0.sfs
But I don`t know where I got it. It`s the only one that works for me, but I don`t have a url for it.

### Is it yours Oscar.?

Yes, that was the original one in this thread. Always worked fine for me and had lots of downloads. One or two people reported problems but everyone's systems are different. I took it down recently and replaced it with the later version which is a Debian compile against earlier glibc. Reports so far have suggested this is better and it runs in Wheezy. Does it not work for you?

This morning my local time I did dl your google-chrome-31.0.1650.57.sfs
and used sfs-exec to load it but nothing did happen
so most likely Lupu528-005 is too old? Nothing important
I will most likely only use Chrome if nothing else work
on some page dedicated to those who use chrome. So skip it if it is odd

This morning I dowloaded it again and will tell what happens later
I get back soon :) Edit must have done something wrong last time

Haha this time it does work instantly but I am not used to it
so will take some time to adjust to how google wants things done.

So Oscar thanks for the pet and sfs.

Chrome has a fix for an annoying problem in its browser use

#34 Post by gcmartin »

Others may find this news a welcomed update. It is one of those bothersome things which I have agonized over before in browser use: "Where is that audio coming from?"

Hope this helps

Chrome 32 on Precise 5.7.1 shows this error.

#35 Post by YoutIndia »

I am unable to install any Chrome version other than 24, every other version shows this error

Code: Select all

/opt/google/chrome/chrome: /usr/lib/firefox/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.14.3' not found (required by /opt/google/chrome/chrome)
There is only one old version that I am able to run on it. This error is always shown on every version of Chrome that I try to install. Anyone have any idea how to solve this?

I first ran Puppy Precise 5.5 and then upgraded to 5.7.1 few weeks earlier.

Please, I need to complete a programming project in scratch and the flash on Chrome 24 is outdated to complete my project. I need to submit it at the end of this month.

That Google Chrome 32 runs fine in Precise 5.7.1
The libnss3.so is located inside the seamonkey folder in /usr/lib and the version included natively in Precise is fine for Google Chrome.

Not sure why your Chrome is looking at one in the Firefox diectory. Precise doesn't have Firefox. Probably you have installed an older Firefox which has an older libnss3.so and that is why you are getting the error. Have you removed Seamonkey?

Yes, I have firefox 16 and Seamonkey 2.19 installed.

Will try running it again after removing Firefox 16 and will tell you then if it works or not.

Update : Yes, Thankyou, after removing Firefox, it just worked in one time. I am really happy because I was kinda frustrated about this for a long time and now it is solved. I should have came here in the first place.

Maybe Firefox has more priority over Seamonkey, that is why this problem existed in the first place.

Anyways thanks for the help I appreciate that.

Download from here:-

(You may need to right-click and save)
A member of our Puppy Linux Japanese Forum reported that your
  http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/google-C ... 700.77.sfs
cannot be loaded by Mr.Shinobar's "SFS_load" utility on Puppy Precise-571JP (japanese edition).

I found that "/opt" directory in your sfs has incorrect permission(, see below).

"/opt" d rwx r-x r-x (755)

"/opt/.." d rw- --- --- (600)

So, I correct it and upload a sfs-package on Google-Drive:

google-Chrome-32.0.1700.77.sfs @Google-Drive

Best Regards,

Hello cygnus_odile,

Thank you for the report. I think the problem was with the permissions on the main google-Chrome-32.0.1700.77 folder which is converted to the .sfs but I believe I have fixed it now. I tested it using sfs_load in RAM mode in Dpup Wheezy and it loaded and ran OK

Regards to all the Japanese Puppy users.
