..how to run google chromium in pclinuxos

[muungwana]

go to: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
browse to the linux section and download the 32 bit debian package

extract the debian package and you will find a package called "data.tar.lzma" ..decompress it and you will have 3 folders, go to the "opt" folder until you see executables ..gnome archive manager can decompress lzma files(i think they are compressed files but not sure) ..i dont know of any other program that can do that

open up the terminal here and type:

ldd chrome

all shared objects will be picked up except the following:
        libnss3.so.1d => not found                                            
        libnssutil3.so.1d => not found                                        
        libsmime3.so.1d => not found                                          
        libssl3.so.1d => not found                                            
        libplds4.so.0d => not found                                          
        libplc4.so.0d => not found                                            
        libnspr4.so.0d => not found  

pclinuxos has all these shared objects in "/usr/lib" but they have different names ..copy them to the chrome folder and give them the names chrome expect them to have(most by appending ".1d" or ".0d" to their names)

running "google-chrome" should be launch it.

the folder can be placed anywhere and link to the menu/desktop be created to "google-chrome" for easy launch

firefox gives this error when i click the link: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apturl) isn't associated with any program." and the website doesnt have any info on how to add support for this protocol in firefox(and other browsers)

i already installed apturl from synaptic but firefox keeps complaining ..any info on how to tell firefox to recognize this protocol?

Go here:  http://www.pclinuxos.com/appstore/

scroll down and then Click to Install

muungwana.
From the wiki page on apturl:

Manually configure Mozilla browsers for the apturl protocol

In some instances if may be necessary to manually set up your browser to handle the apturl:// protocol. The following it how to do this for mozilla based browsers.

    * open about:config from the browsers navigation bar
    * Right click and select New> string
    * type in

network.protocol-handler.app.apturl

    * and value

/usr/bin/apturl

Now restart the browser; when you click an apturl or Click2Install link the browser will prompt you to make the association as described in the previous section; Browse to /usr/bin and select apturl, set your browser to remember it, and OK/save.

It should now work.

thanks Neal, your instructions worked

[travisN000]

The other way is to rename your .mozilla profile / directory, launch firefox again, and it should pick up the apturl settings from the default profile.

travisn000,
the version of chromium in the repository is the windows version running ontop of wine ..

this thread is for running linux port of chromium

latest builds can be found here:
http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/

the latest one can play flash videos ..now waiting for extensions, primarily adblock-plus

I just did this and now everytime I click on something in appstore, I get "Failed to find the selected program"

[Ɗα√ϵς§]

Must have done something wrong, I deleted the file: /home/.mozilla/firefox/???.default/mimeTypes.rdf and now it's working.

Thanks for the clarification..  I just assumed the one in the repo / appstore was the same, I didn't really look closely at them.

If i'm not mistaken,

Code: [Select]

lzma -d data.tar.lzma
will give you a simple tar which can be afterwards untared (untarred?) with ark, etc.

Seems not to work for me.

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
/opt/google/chrome/chrome: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by /opt/google/chrome/chrome)

[texstar@localhost ~]$strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

Update: got it working by extracting some more debs into the folder.
