Re: How to run chrome

The output you posted indicates:

Your still using the broken script from SliTaz 4.0 repo.

To install a tazpkg of the same name you must either remove the old one first or use --forced to overwrite the old with the new.

Remnants from failed google-chrome-unstable must be removed.

# tazpkg remove get-google-chrome

# tazpkg remove google-chrome-unstable

# wget http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/get-google-chrome-1.03.tazpkg

# tazpkg install get-google-chrome-1.03.tazpkg --forced

# get-google-chrome

Re: How to run chrome

Hi, this thread's a little old but I thought I'd try asking here anyways. I'm trying to get chrome working in slitaz 5 rc2 live. I only went through the commands in Mojo's last post and I'm not sure if those were standalone instructions but from the output in terminal it seems unstable chrome was installed instead(probably because 1.03 couldn't be). My broad goal here is to get flash running in a browser and in my experience chrome(& chromium) has been the easiest way of doing that in Linux. So, even though it seems to have installed, it's not showing up in programs, I can't get it to run from "run" when I go to applications even though it autocompletes with "google-chrome-unstable", when I start typing & I'm not sure what to type in terminal either but chrome, run chrome, run google-chrome-unstable haven't done anything.

Also

Which slitaz would be best if I don't want multiple browsers, terminal programs, etc. included out of the box?

Thanks

Re: How to run chrome

If you haven't already done so, review this discussion thread. Reply from member/username: tvicol worked successfully for me on SliTaz 4.0-core...

[c]http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/slitaz-40-google-chrome-libnss3-libstdc-errors-ultimate-solution-please[/c]

If you want to locate where Chrome was installed run this command as root (of course you already know "unstable" can be substituted for whatever version installed i.e: stable)...

find / -name google-chrome-unstable

You'll need to include the full path when creating a desktop icon and/or editing lxpanel.

Re: How to run chrome

@hop7d5

Google-chrome-unstable won't run unless the cpu supports sse2

Check your cpu with command: [c]cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep -w sse2[/c]

Updated 5.0-rc2 with get-google-chrome script from 5.0 repo.

I don't want to have to re-download 47MB source archive if the script excludes files.

I comment most [c]rm[/c] commands from /usr/bin/get-google-chrome so everything is preserved in /tmp.

There were errors when get-google-chrome script was running the install on generated google-chrome-unstable tazpkg concerning xdg-resource-icon adding google-chrome-unstable icons to the system.

No Applications/Internet/Google Chrome (unstable) shortcut.

There is no google-chrome-unstable.desktop on system.

Browser launches from terminal as user tux with command [c]google-chrome-unstable[/c]

I use [c]dpkg-deb[/c] to get google-chrome-unstable.desktop from google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb.

Add launcher to menu:

Download attached google-chrome-unstable.desktop.txt

[c]cp google-chrome-unstable.desktop.txt /usr/share/applications/google-chrome-unstable.desktop[/c]

Menu icon:

[c]cp /opt/google/chrome-unstable/product_logo_32.png /usr/share/pixmaps/google-chrome-unstable.png[/c]

Logout/in or reboot

Applications/Internet/Google Chrome (unstable)

> did anyone had this error?

> get-google-chrome

I played with it about a month ago. Version installed by this script works well after recompiling kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS=y

v.41 and newer requires Linux-3.18+

Use firefox-official or if you really need chromium-based try [c]get-vivaldi[/c].

Re: How to run chrome

Many hits on google search with error "Bad NaCl helper startup ack (0 bytes)"

Try to start with sandbox disabled.

[c]google-chrome-unstable --disable-setuid-sandbox[/c]
