'Fraid I don't "sync" - not even really sure what it does :?

Have you tried running chromium from a terminal to see if any error messages are seen?

Which Puppy you are running might also be useful info.

PeeBee,

Sync is an important facility which allows Chromium/chrome to be accessed from another computer and that computer have the same bookmarks and important browser accesses. It allows your 2 browsers on different PCs to synchronize their services.

I have not tried the latest Chromium yet.

Hope this helps

Yes, the sync can bring your extensions with you also. That is main point for me, as I have alot of extensions and its incredibly unpractical to install them all by hand again. I do keep some bookmarks as well.

As far as the console message goes, theres a few things in there, but nothing that seems related to syncing. Theres a missing vdpau_nouveau.so file it mentions, but thats on startup and I get no error messages on attempting to sign in to sync.

I checked chrome releases page on blogspot but didn't notice anything specific to syncing. Hopefully its not just me with the issue, as the version 27 posted here works fine and there doesn't seem to be a lot of chromium releases on the forum. :(

Chromium 28 on Raring Puppy

#20 Post by peebee »

Barry has created Raring Puppy http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=87043

This version of Chromium 28 will run on the new Pup with one proviso - you need to create a link to /lib/libudev.so.0 - e.g. in a terminal:

Code: Select all

ln -s /lib/libudev.so.1 /lib/libudev.so.0
Cheers

Chromium 28 on Raring Puppy 5.6.94 k 3.9.5

#21 Post by ETP »

Hi peebee.

libudev.so.1 is itself a symlink to libudev.so.1.3.0, so in order to survive a reboot you may need:

Code: Select all

ln -s /lib/libudev.so.1.3.0 /lib/libudev.so.0
Thanks for Chromium 28 which works a treat.

I'm looking for Chromium 28 for Barry's (5.7alpha2)

#22 Post by dennis-slacko531 »

I just want to try a different browser. I tried the ln command above after Chromium 25 refused to "start as root".

I could try the Firefox-testsuite_21.0+build2 but probably not... ----Kind of tired of Firefox. SeaMonkey does everything great actually.

EDIT: just noticed the 49M Chrome pet (dnld'g now).
EDIT: works like a breeze!!

Hi xstyleax,
yes, I am having the same problem as you. Have you fixed it and if so, how? Thanks.

For Precise, try the pkg here.

gcmartin

Install on Slacko this way?

#25 Post by gcmartin »

Thanks @Semme.

Question
Is the proper installation procedure to install on Slacko V5.5.9x to be in the following order?
  1. Chromium browser
  2. Free ffmpeg codecs for the Chromium Browser
  3. Extra ffmpeg codecs for the Chromium Browser
Thanks for installation advice

Just adding some slightly OT confusion - I'm using the latest Precise on my newish HP laptop, and installed the current Google Chrome using the .deb from the Google website. It installs perfectly and runs from root (but gives a message on first run to say it can't run from root - maybe because it has not quite finished installing).

However, there seems to be some gotchas with this -
1. I cannot use the administration tabs in CUPS but if I setup my printer (Canon mg8150 over wifi) before installing the chrome .deb the printer seems to work ok afterwards.
2. I have not tested this fully yet, but pcdripper cannot lookup freedb. I will try a pix=ram later on just to test this theory out. (I like pcdripper as the rips sound better to my ears, although asunder is much easier to use and maybe as good).

I gather the first one is a known problem, and maybe the second is caused by the same little compatibility problem.

Depending on my experiments, I will either revert to the Chrome that comes with Precise, or go back to Slacko as my main principal pup, or maybe just suck up the compatibility problems. I like using the newest Google Chromes.

Hi Grump

Yes - a bit OT!!

This thread is about Chromium - not Chrome

and the pets/sfs on offer here have the logic to prevent the run as root problem ever appearing

Might be better to repost on a Chrome thread....

Ok, so I've got rid of the Google Chromes and got Chromium 29 from the PPM for Precise. It's fixed the CUPS issue but the pcdripper one remains. It looks like it can't find my usb DVD player (it says /dev/cdrom, whereas it should be /dev/sr0), whereas asunder and pmusic can, and both retrieve track names ok.

I'll stick with Chromium for a while at least.

Chromium 29

#30 Post by peebee »

The sfs & pet versions (both c. 50MB) of chromium-29.0.1547.57 can be downloaded from:

d050ca7e4230773aad3605fe5f56f775 chromium-29.0.1547.57-i486-1sl.sfs

5ba009e277497b565495526ebc6d79be chromium-29.0.1547.57-i486-1sl.pet

Repackaging of chromium-29.0.1547.57-i486-1sl.txz originally from
http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-1 ... .0.1547.57

Tested to work OK on both Precise Puppy 5.7.1 & Slacko 5.6 & Upup Raring 3.9.9.

This version sadly comes with an annoying message each time it starts about missing Google API-Keys - however the message disappears as soon as a page is opened. I cannot find how to disable the message so if anybody has ideas....

Follow the link in the message to find out more and to generate the keys if you need them.

Cheers

Hi

No real answers I'm afraid - Macpup550 is based on Precise 5.5 so it may be worth trying an earlier version of Chromium - say 25.

Also, which flashplayer does Macpup come with? If it is an older version it may be worth trying updating to a later version....

Then, Macpup has E17 - it might be worth seeing if the error occurs with vanilla Precise 5.5 (or 5.7.1 as Precise is now).

Chrome 30 sfs

#33 Post by peebee »

Whilst waiting for the next Chromium to become available on slacky.eu I have made an sfs of Chrome 30.1599.101

This version runs "as is" on Precise 5.7.1 and Upup Raring 3.9.9.2 HOWEVER Slacko 5.6 needs GConf-3.2.5 installing - use the Puppy Package Manager and search for gconf from the Slackware 14.0 Official repository. Adds about 1MB.

The sfs (47MB) can be downloaded from:
chrome-30.0.1599.101-i386-1sl.sfs

If you need a pet - can I suggest that you create a pet from the sfs - just click on the sfs to extract its contents into a folder and then use dir2pet from a terminal to make the folder into a pet.

If you worry about such things, chrome://sandbox indicates that this version is not "adequately sandboxed".

Tested to work OK on both Precise Puppy 5.7.1 & Slacko 5.6 & Upup Raring 3.9.9 & LxPup 13.10

This version still shows an annoying message each time it starts about missing Google API-Keys...

If you need a pet - can I suggest that you create a pet from the sfs - just click on the sfs and copy its contents into a new folder and then use dir2pet from a terminal to make the folder into a pet.

HI peebee; I`m making a RoxApp type package from your Chromium and I`ve hit a snag.

Your run script does: chmod 4755 /usr/lib/chromium/chrome-sandbox
So you`re relying on Puppy`s union Save file to create another modded chrome-sandbox file.
This leaves an orphan chrome-sandbox file when the SFS is removed. Not the best idea...
But worse for me is that no-install apps don`t use the union, so an SFS file can`t be chmod.

If this were just for me, I`d make a new SFS file with chrome-sandbox having the correct mod.
But for a Puppy forum download, to have to make a new SFS file is just way too much effort.

# Would it be possible for you to remake your SFS file so chrome-sandbox is mod 4755 ?

Many thanks for any help you can provide peebee. Terry B.
