Chromium 14 - Cutting Edge Development Release
Chromium 14 - Cutting Edge Development Release
To run Chromium in Lucid, please read this message.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chromium 14 has made it easier to run as root. Thank you Chromium. This is a nightly build from JUN 28, 2011.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... cid525.pet
By request, here is an sfs version
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... cid525.sfs
Both versions have been revised as Dave S explains below so there is only one menu entry. Also, the start page has been changed to the one Chromium wants to use, because sometimes it failed to open the Puppy home page.
The pet version uses the browse icon on the desktop and the menu--the sfs version uses only the menu. I don't know what kind of problems it might have, but it starts and runs youtube for me.
It is relatively easy to use the Chromium pet to keep updated with Chromium. Just download the latest nightly and extract--it will make a folder named chrome-linux.
Then just delete /usr/lib/chrome-linux and replace it with the new one you just downloaded and extracted.

Not difficult. Let's see how long it takes.I get curious if it is difficult to make an sfs out of a pet?
Pets kind of get into the pupsave file while an sfs can be used by many puppies that have SFStray or other such SFS loaders. Very practical.

It will take a few minutes to upload.
While we are waiting, here's the easy way to make any pet into an sfs.
1. Change the extension of the pet to tgz
2. Click the tgz file and extract
3. open a terminal in the directory that contains the extracted folder and enter
Code: Select all
mksquashs nameofthepetfolder nameofthepetfolder.sfs -noI
The -noI parameter is something that seems to work for me to make reliable sfs's. As I understand it, it prevents the inode names or something from being compressed.
All done and uploaded

I don't know. I just installed the pet on a pristine frugal install of 5.2.5 and it worked.
Try this: go to the directory /usr/lib/chrome-linux and click chrome-wrapper. It should say, Chromium cannot be run as root. OK. Then open a terminal in that directory and enter
Open a terminal by right-clicking while your cursor is in the directory, then choose Window -> Terminal here.

yes I have installed/uninstalled several things. Chromium7 installed and works fine. 14 added 2 entries to the internet and 2 to the network menus and none start it.
bash: /chrome-wrapper: No such file or directory

Great thanks playdayz for the SFS. I did a test using SFStray SFS loader and it works but as usual act up in a typical C. way. Refuses to find pages and one have to kill them and start all over and write www. and try again and kill them again and then suddenly it do accept to show some sites like streaming video on a local TV station but then refuses to show youtube and one have no idea why and one test Opera 11 SFS and that one instantly just works. So it is kind of a roller coaster ride.
Much appreciated you described how to and uploaded it.

OK, well this is what seems to happen... chrome-wrapper looks for a .desktop file on startup, but it seems to look for it in /root/.local/share/applications. If it cant find it, it creates one called 'chromium-devel.desktop', but Chrome cant run from this file in Puppy as it throws up the 'cannot be run as root' error. Its this 'extra' .desktop file that is finding its way into the menu.dawnsboy wrote:I am seeing that double menu entry as well.
Best solution I think is to open this file as text, delete the contents, copy and paste in the contents of the 'normal' .desktop file found in /usr/share/applications, save and exit. Delete the .desktop file in usr/share/applications, run 'fixmenus' and you should be done. Single menu entry that runs Chromium as expected.

Thanks Dave S. I saw that double entry but I thought it was left over from previous experimentation. I should be able to fix the pet according to your explanation.Single menu entry that runs Chromium as expected.

Earlier versions did always tell me that the Flash was too old but the newer does not but all of them are tricky to get going. Them say that the page can not be loaded and it is very annoying taking long time to trick it to show any page.
I use them as SFS if that is important. But Opera which I am no fan of that one just works as SFS and have no problem at all and FF works too so it is sad that Chromium is that much more moody.
