   I have tried to install Google Chrome with failure. Steps I took:

   1. open xterm as root
   2. tazpkg get-install get-google-chrome
   3. get-google-chrome
   4. tazpkg get-install cups
   5. Opened Menu/System Tools/Control Box/Initialization
   5. Added the "cupsd" entry at the end of Run Daemons. Click "Change". Exit

   Google chrome icon shows up in Menu/Internet/Google Chrome. But nothing happens when clicked on. I tried restarting but same. what should i do to get chrome working in Slitaz 3.0?

   (Also: is Chromium available?)

   What happens when you try to launch google-chrome from a term?
   (I'm french, but I have maybe the same errors :
   

   $ google-chrome
   /usr/bin/google-chrome: /lib/libc.so.6: version

   GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /usr/bin/google-chrome)
   /usr/bin/google-chrome: /usr/lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/google-chrome)
   /usr/bin/google-chrome: /usr/lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/google-chrome)

   What happens when you try to launch google-chrome (not google-chrome-unstable) from a term?

   Yes, sure, I installed it "easily" on ArchLinux, I will see about compiling Chromium.

   Hi there,
   Maybe it's mustard after the meal, we say here in Holland but I share the following even if it is to end this topic.
   I just did tazpkg get-install google-chrome in the cooking version and it installed smoothly but when trying
   to launch it from the openbox-applications-bar nothing happened. Then I tried to execute it from the
   terminal and had to do .....sudo chmod 1777 /dev/shm; (something to do with shared memory in /dev/shm??)
   After this all worked fine.
   Greetings.

    Well.
    The computer says that it cannot find glibc 2.11
    because glibc version 2.11 is not installed on your system.
    you must find it, download it, and install it on your on.
    so the next question you probably have is how do i do that?

    first go into a terminal and type tazpkg search glibc
    then hit enter
    this will tell us what virgin of glibc you have.
    i bet it is 2.10.

    now find glibc 2.11 on the internets by gurggling for it.
    now click the link to download it.
    now once downloaded do not OPEN it...
    but right click and EXTRACT it.

    now the simple method is to uninstall glibc 2.10
    tazpkg remove glibc
    yay it uninstalls
    (you may have to be sysop-admin-root to do that...)
    now that we are experiencing success in the removal of old glibc version 2.10
    we must install glibc 2.11
    so easy.
    any question ?

    Key Master

    Glibc is part of the toolchain that builds the kernel and the software in the stable repo.
    You have problems if you run a kernel built with glibc 2.10.1 on a system with a different version of glibc.
    The simple solution is to use cooking which is built with glibc 2.13

    I would like to install Chrome - I'm using SliTaz 3.0. Is that possible? I need a browser that supports Google Docs.
