Hello, I just installed the latest chromium.pet on my macpup550

I managed to open up chromium without issues, but when I got into youtube.com and a couple of seconds after flash tried to play a video, chromium crashed and I got this message..

dont know what it means, just reporting it...

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".

Cheers
peebee

The sfs (c. 36MB - xz compressed) of chromium-30.0.1599.101 can be downloaded from:

33e426a5108cbcb8fb6c548a94820346 chromium-30.0.1599.101-i486-2sl.sfs

Repackaging of chromium-30.0.1599.101-i486-2sl.txz originally from
http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-14.0/network/chromium/30.0.1599.101/

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.

Cheers

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.

WOW...! Talk about developer response.! A different site url I see... Thanks peebee.

A thought: SFS files have no way to cleanup after themselves, so I avoid making new dirs/files.
No-install apps like RoxApp and AppDir can cleanup and pretty much do anything.

Utilities like seaside`s ExeSfs or SfsExe ( can`t remember which ) and RSHs work with SFS
come real close to the same thing, the ability to change the environment for the app.

# And now the next problem, it`s essentially the same problem I had with OscarTalks Yandex site.
Your Box site won`t give me the actual download url, and Yandex mangles their urls.
There`s really nothing the 2 of you can do about that.

# But your first site worked great with my downloader. Why the different site?

### Do you by chance have your Chromium-30 SFS file mirrored at Smokey`s site.?

Sourceforge`s url is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/files/latest/download
Which pops up a Firefox download, so I`m not sure... There`s no FileName in the url.
I`ll check it out and see what luck we have.

# Ally responded to my post about web sites. I`m going to see if his is usable, let you know.

Hey peebee; I tried your Chrome-30.....i386 from e-nautica and the url is usable.
This site is nice and fast and doesn`t buck the download off after awhile.

Again however, the sandbox file is the wrong mode, 755 not 4755.
One way or the other, both files have their problems. Laughing

I already have Chrome-24 running as a no-install AppPkg. So Chrome`s easy to do.

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 peebee.?

Update on SFS file: chromium-30.0.1599.101-i486.sfs

Used same setup ( 1 link: /usr/lib/chromium ) that worked with: chromium-30.0.1568.0.sfs
### Please see post above and let me know if it`s your file peebee ( I think it is...).

But chromium-30.0.1599.101-i486.sfs errors on my Puppy Precise-5.5.X.5:
Too damn many Puppies.! It must drive you app builders nutty.! Rolling Eyes
