[SOLVED]:Chromium-Browser and Chromiun the game.
« on: May 08, 2010, 09:01:07 PM »
I have Chromium-browser and Chromium the game installed in PCLinuxOS KDE 2010.1 with the latest nvidia drivers.  Chromium the game will not start and I have starship icons for the browser. What can I do to fix this?

Here is what I get when I try to start the game for konsole:

WARNING: could not read config file (/home/chris/.chromium)
WARNING: could not read score file (/home/chris/.chromium-score)
randomizing.
SDL initialized.
Couldn't set GL mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

I have also tried reinstalling the game. Thanks

Thank you. I'm sure the game will get fixed soon. I'm not in a hurry. :)

How can I go about fixing the icon for Chromium browser? I sure would like to get rid of the spaceship icon.

right on the menu and then select "menu editor" and then expand the "internet" section and look for chromium entry(it could be some place else0, select the entry and then click on the icon on the right hand side and you will be given an option to select another icon.

the icon collision btw these two programs should also be looked at

Thank you. That fixed it. I had to find the icon in the "other icons" tab. I'm going to mark this thread solved since there is a broken package thread open for Chroumium-BSU the game. I do agree that the icon mix up should be looked into.
