Chromium 32

#46 Post by peebee »

Here is Chromium 32.0.1700.102 in sfs format - convert to a pet as described previously if a pet is needed.

Mainly built for use on LxPup but also works on Slacko 5.6

Does not work on Precise 5.7.1 but Oscartalks has a version that should.

On Slacko 5.6.5.2 (5.7 in testing) it "mainly" works but has an oddity in that the window Maximise/Restore button doesn't work - no idea why as there are no error messages when run in a terminal.

Does not include FlashPlayer - download using the GetFlash Install Flashplayer in the menu under Internet.

I did try it with the Pepper FlashPlayer plugin but this didn't work with BBC iPlayer.....

Repackaged from:
http://slackware.org.uk/people/alien/sl ... g/current/ but with added:
harfbuzz-0.9.16 and icu4c-51.2 from pkgs.org

Cheers

Chromium 33

#50 Post by Dpup »

As I posted in Canon 2012 printer update section, have been trying to find way to print with new Canon MX922. No CUPS driver, and Debian Linux CUPS driver just dumped print into bit bucket and reported print complete. Installed Chrome 21 pet posted by Playdaz a while back and MX922 Cloud printer found, worked fine. Installed peebee most recent Chrome 33 update for Slacko 5.7 which worked fine as browser but unable to find my MX922 Cloud enabled printer, booted USB flash with older Chrome 21 and cloud printer found and worked fine. So I don't know what needs to be done to make Chrome 33 work with cloud printing.

Still would prefer CUPS driver for Canon MX922, but so far not successful.

Thanks for any suggestions or fix.

Have you tried to run chromium from a terminal to see if there are any error messages when you print?

I would strongly suspect missing library dependendencies....but you need some diagnostics to determine which.

Another tack would be to google the problem to see if others have had it.

This is chromium - not chrome - they are different....

Chromium 33 Slacko 5.7

#52 Post by Dpup »

Thanks for the quick response. This is my first time use of Chrome or Chromium, or Cloud printing. The Playdaz pet is earlier version Chrome not Chromium.

Ran Chromium from console, did get one error message about PostClientToServer Message() Failed during GetUpdates. However found that my response to encryption of data caused failure to log on to my Google account, and that was reason the MX922 Cloud printer not showing. So now can Cloud print fine.

What I see now concerns me about security. Can see all my CUPS devices, The MX922 cloud printer, my smart phone and tablet... and each can see time date stamp and file name of everything that I printed with it or on any other device I have. My home WiFi router, printer, are running WPA2 TKIP. if that helps.

Thanks again for Chromium 33. Would also like to see what others have experienced and their comments too.

May be better to post over in the Security threads.....

I used PPM to load Chromium 34 in Precise 5.7.1

When I start it I get an error saying it can't run in Root unless -user-data-dir is changed to an alternate location.

Of course it fails to provide a user-friendly way to get that done ... sigh.

Can someone provide a paint-by-numbers set of instructions as to how to do this?

Thanks!

Difficult given that we've no idea what you have installed via the ppm.....

but in general you need to start chromium from a script file with a line similar to but changed for your circumstances:

Code: Select all

exec /usr/lib/chromium/chromium --user-data-dir=/root/.config/chromium --disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000 --allow-outdated-plugins "$@"

I updated the PPM repositories then downloaded everything it listed as dependencies for Chromium 34.

I got a permissions error so I went to /usr/share/applications & changed properties and permissions for exec.

Then I stuffed

Code: Select all

--user-data-dir=/mnt/home/chromestuff --disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000 --allow-outdated-plugins "$@"
into the Arguments area of the Chromium desktop icon.

There is no response when I click on the icon.

I noticed that /usr/share/chromium-browser is empty.

Is there a way to boot Precise as Spot?

That may be more simple for this purpose.

Should I try to uninstall the PPM version (I don't recall how) ...

AND/OR ...

Grab a Chromium PET for Precise & install that?

Thanks!

Loaded the Chromium 32 SFS that was said to be Precise-friendly & it appears to be working fine.

Will test the video-conferencing app that suddenly stopped working with Mozilla (Firefox or Seamonkey) tomorrow.

I wonder if the Mozilla-related failure is deliberate somewhere in the chain?

Thanks for the assist!

When trying to videoconference - the videoconference app complained that Flash was old (it was a 2013 versio).

I downloaded the newest version from Adobe & installed it.

When I tried to connect it worked but my camera would not show - then I noticed a yellow bar which said Flash had crashed.

I downloaded and replaced Flash & changed the properties & permissions to wide open & executable - now no crash error but still no image (I can see the person at the other end).

This is running on a MSI Netbook, Chromium 32, Puppy Precise 5.7.1.

Any thoughts, please?

SOLVED: It was obscure Adobe settings.

For some weird reason Adobe grays-out the "Settings" menu item but not the "Global Settings" item in their Linux version - creating an unnecessarily complex process to fix a camera problem in Linux rather than the same as in MS versions of windows.

How To: Fix Adobe Videoconferencing Camera Problem in Linux.

Go to: http://faq.iwiwwe.com

Copy URL: Should be something like "vcp.videocontrolpanel.net"

Go to: http://macromedia.com/support/documenta ... ger09.html

1. Select Peer-Assisted Networking tab (looks like two profiles)
2. Select URL you copied (the app reads it from the copy buffer)
3. Click "Always allow"

Then ...

1. Select Website Privacy Settings tab (third from right, looks like eye on tv)
2. Select same URL on list below as before
3. Select "Always allow"

Close window.

You may need to close and re-open the Web browser.

Note: I have only tried this in the most recent versions of Firefox & Adobe Flash for Linux in Puppy LH64.

I install .sfs package in Slacko-5.7.1.

I changed a package to chromium-35 recently.
Window move of Chromium is not possible afterwards
when I set System Titlebar for disable.

This problem did not occur with before 34,
and there is not a report in other environment either.
I think that it is a problem peculiar to .sfs.
