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.

Google-libs-10.pet

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.

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?

GrumpyWolfe · #35 Post by **GrumpyWolfe** » Wed 23 Mar 2011, 15:56

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.

nooby · #36 Post by **nooby** » Wed 23 Mar 2011, 15:59

Thanks Grumpy, that was sad. so we have to wait or tell them to not use that Glib then

Thanks for the try anyway.

Lobster showed that one could use sudo in puppy to allow the Chrome Dev version to run on Puppy but not as root. So not sure what that means. Spot does have restrictions. Can one tell Spot to behave as if Root but not telling Chrome Develper version about it?

Chris tell us that the Developer version is much faster. Does it casual user notice any difference? I mean they say that FF is slowest. And I maybe can see what they mean. Sometime I have to wait for it to shutdown so it is working on some maintenance thing in the background and then it shut down after several seconds and it is slow at start too.

But Chrome has other issues such as Flash plug in being different than the one for FF?

Grumpy your version and this version both need to have the special Glib and Lupu has the Ubuntu lib and that does not work together I guess?

My pet for Google-chrome is for it to have the libs it needs not the lib.so.6 from glibc-2.11 but yes Lupu I believe has the glibc-2.11 they got from Ubuntu.

I am about to test the new Firefox 4 the test results I have read say it is a lot faster but will see how it does. But if google is going to try and tell me how to run my computer then I will not run there software.

Deterioration inside browser industry continues

. Google-Chrome stable for linux is now 11.0.696.57. Debian package and libs-10 by GrumpyWolfe installed in Quirky-130, console says:

# google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libaries: libpam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Pam placed to /opt/google/chrome/, chrome demands to lower my status:

Google Chrome can not be run as root. Please start Google as a normal user. If you have previously run Google Chrome as root, you will need to change the ownership of your profile directory.

Wrong Pam or what to do?

100th post

. Just updated Firefox from 4.0 to 4.0.1. No spot required. Waiting for crash.

xman I can updater the google-libs to include libpam but as for the root issue here is a post that mite interests you.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issue ... l?id=74594

and

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issue ... l?id=75575

This put the fixing of not running as root out of my hands unless someone else sees a work around. It is just google develpers way of putting out rules the want everybody to follow the end.

nooby · #40 Post by **nooby** » Fri 29 Apr 2011, 08:38

Not running as root. Does running as spot make it work? It is not that bad.
Micko did a good thing with the BrowseSafe pet so do try it. I am using Iron instead of Chromium. Same thing only some months older in versions. Maybe they know how to do the root thing or if I am out of luck them too is non-root obsessed. But the old version 10 don't require root.

GrumpyWolfe · #41 Post by **GrumpyWolfe** » Fri 29 Apr 2011, 11:53

Old version is ok but with all the newer version this will be in there and myself I am not staying up to mach with google-chrome any more back to using Firefox with this root thing out so if Iron in browse safe works for you use it.

nooby · #42 Post by **nooby** » Fri 29 Apr 2011, 11:59

VLC seems to have same policy so it is spreading like wild fire. Sad indeed.

GrumpyWolfe · #43 Post by **GrumpyWolfe** » Fri 29 Apr 2011, 12:20

I have to use a hack to keep thunar from giving a warning message so I hope they don't start stopping people from using it as root that will be a real bummer

GrumpyWolfe, I cannot download from the sourceforge site.

My 431 quickset version desperately needs it.

Please give me a link to it.

I am not sure why your quickpet is not able to download but here is the google-libs http://sourceforge.net/projects/mywolfe ... t/download you can download google-chrome from here http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html? ... buntu_i386 While I have not updated the libs and there is a problem with the newer google-chrome the older google-chrome that I have at souceforge will run is here http://sourceforge.net/projects/mywolfe ... t/download

Hi-

Anyone here get icon for google-chrome 11 working? I have google-chrome 11 running as spot:

defaultbrowser:

su - spot -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R7/bin:/opt/google/chrome/ google-chrome %U $@"

But for the life of me i can't get the icon to show up in the taskbar. Any other app i've tried, like su - spot -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 xchat" the icon shows up fine.

SO FRUSTRATING!

There are a bunch of tricks i've used to get various little breakages here and there to work. I'll try to get them all together if anyone is interested. I just discovered this thread, and i'm glad it's here

Hi lithpr

I am in the middle of getting MyWolfe-030 built and have not had time to look into spot as of yet but you may want to download my google-libs and look at the files in it and make some tweaks to it. Then if you get it working I can host it on my server at souceforge and let everybody get it.

Yes and Good Day

, I have installed stable Debian Chrome 12.0.742.91 to Quirky-130. I had GrumpyWolfes 10-libs already installed but console informs me that libpam.so.0 is missing. So, I installed libpam0g_1.1.1-4ubuntu2.3_i386.deb from http://pkgs.org/download/ubuntu-10.10/u ... 6.deb.html.

Pam is here

and Chrome 12x runs now. At start Chrome informs that "Google Chrome is no longer updating because your operating system is obsolete. Yes, it is Big Quirky

but maybe Pam is helpful for Wary and Lupu users too.

About:plugins informs me that Chrome has all Gecko Media Player plugins switched on. This is new: Windows media files are now playable on Chrome window. I have tested some wmv streams.

Is this lack of version information dangerous? That is, console has still something to say about libz.so.1:

#google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: /lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/google-chrome)
/usr/bin/google-chrome: /lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/google-chrome)
/opt/google/chrome/chrome: /lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /opt/google/chrome/chrome)
/opt/google/chrome/chrome: /lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /opt/google/chrome/chrome)
/proc/self/exe: /lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe)
