MyWolfe with Libreoffice and Chrome

#17 Post by sindi »

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?

google libs 8 and 9

#19 Post by sindi »

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).

Chrome download and install

#20 Post by 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?

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 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.

Sorry for the delay in posting this but have been busy at work. So here it is the change to the google-libs that should make it better for every one.

For what I have to say on the matter is that I myself have stop using Google-chrome a while back and just try and keep updating files to help out puppy users.

Running as root is not the wises way to run a system but with the way puppy is run in mostly frugal installs it is not a major problem and I have done some fire wall test and it stands up very well. I just do not like have anyone tell me I can not to something the way google has. To give a warning yes but to stop it, well that is like having them come into your house a 10 pm and say you need to get off your computer and go to bed lol. Google will be Google I use Firefox now. You can make your own choice.

Check this

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=795

:oops:
chrismt good that you tell about these experiences of how they do it.

Chrome or Chromium?

What happens then if you go to Iron browser and look if they have an Iron version of Chrome /Chromium for Developers. Could teh Iron devs maybe have another policy than the Chromg gang have?

http://www.srware.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2293

We released the new Iron 10 for Linux today, which contains all features and updates known from Chromim 10. The current version is 10.0.650.0.

Mainly there is the new JavaScript Engine "Crankshaft", which is up to 60% faster than the known one. There are also many new experimental features in about:flags to discover. Additionaly this release contains some security- un bugfixes.

The userstring in UA.ini is now also used for the JS-UserAgent.


Downloads:
http://www.srware.net/downloads/iron-linux.tar.gz (32-Bit)
http://www.srware.net/downloads/iron-linux-64.tar.gz (64-Bit)

They are still at 10 instead of Chrome 11 but they sooner or later catch up. I have no idea if they have a developer version though or their policy on being root.

Could you maybe join their forum and ask for a version that works for us with Puppy?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I downloaded Iron for linux but found that it requires glibc-2.11 and as of right now most puppys do not have this version of glibc so will not run on most puppys sorry.
