'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.
Cheers

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

Chromium 28 on Raring Puppy 5.6.94 k 3.9.5 |
|
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: | 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) Subject description: can only find 25 (won't start, tried ln command too...) |
|
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.

Install on Slacko this way? |
|
Thanks @Semme.
Question
Is the proper installation procedure to install on Slacko V5.5.9x to be in the following order?
- Chromium browser
- Free ffmpeg codecs for the Chromium Browser
- 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....
Cheers
PeeBee

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 |
|
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-14.0/network/chromium/29.0.1547.57
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
