Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[GrumpyWolfe]

sorry about the links fixed now and I am not sure how well MyWolfe-021 will be on your computer but MyWolfe-022 has the full LebriOffice in it. and I just completed MyWolfe-028 which has the full Xfce-4.8 but it runs firefox.

Libreoffice calls for PIII, 256MB RAM, up to 1.55GB hard
disk space. I was hoping Chrome uses less RAM than Firefox
(in linux they both use 200-256MB, less in XP), for old
laptops (200-300MHz) and an 800MHz desktop with 128MB
RAMBUS. Opera 10 linux uses about 100MB and should barely work
with Pulp 0.1 (20MB to boot), but I will put Chrome on other
computers. I give away free desktops and might try MyWolfe
with the office suite if people want Office.
Libreoffice claims to need Gnome - does it really?

[GrumpyWolfe]

No it does not need gnome I have it in MyWolfe-023 for my son to have at collage and will be recompiling it from source soon to go into a MyWolfe with xfce-4.8 office edition

I got libs 8 yesterday from link earlier in this topic and the new chrome 9 just now and will try to install in 128MB plus 200MB swap, pulp01. Probably will be very slow.

My figures on RAM used by browsers are probably way off (I used top - htop lists 1/4 the amount).

[sindi]

google libs 8 and 9 did actually get downloaded by Firefox 2 in pulp 0.1 despite it claiming the links were broken.

I do not know how to install pet's with pulp1. Nothing to click on.
I cd'ed to download and typed petget filename.pet and got a bunch of error messages about specific lines and things terminating. Nothing at all got copied any place. I don't even know if petget works in pulp1 - I only tested it on browsers that I manually unpackaged to their own directories.

So I manually unpackaged the libraries and copied to /usr/lib and /lib
and unpackaged chrome in download and cd'd to where google-chrome wrapper script resides and it cannot find libcups, which was not in the google library pet or in pulp itself. Printing seems to have been stripped out.

128MB is not enough to run Puppy with Chrome. I will try the new pet on some other computer eventually.

I was thinking about trying Google Chrome 10.0.648.82 Beta by directly downloading it from Google Chrome website

Can you please tell me how? And, which dependencies to install?

[GrumpyWolfe]

I have tried to make it simple here is the links to the files needed to make google-chrome work in most puppys

google-libs-9 it also creates the application file for google-chrome

xdgopen-1.pet created by Jimimah so that google-chrome links open properly in puppy. Than download any of the deb google-chrome 32 bit files you want.

I am glad enjoy

I noticed the following error when i tried Firefox after installing Chrome



When i click details, i get the following error

Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 2: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-root/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory)

I am not to familiar with Lucid configuration you will need to talk to someone more informed about how Lucid in configured. They have the system set up to use Chromium and they may have set up special handles for all this. Sorry I can not be of more help.

chrismt,

I had the same problem and could solve it by deleting one of the google libs, the "libnspr4.so.0d". Just put a symlink to it from libnspr4.so and both web browsers will work.

[GrumpyWolfe]

Thank you arumata I will update the lib file and post a new one so others do not have this problem.
