Hi all,

I installed Zenwalk-7.2 RC3 and while using chromium browser, I found this error,


Any solutions ??

Thanks in advance

can you try this following this steps to check if it is a problem in your system or in our pkg (our pkg for example never became default browser in my system)
1-remove chromium from .cache and .config in /home/usr
copy this to mousepad or geanny and save as
get-chromium.sh
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#/bin/sh

# quick hack to automate local user bleeding-edge chromium build installs

# NOTE: over time this script will build up a directory collection of
# old installs in ~/$APPNAME. This is by design so you can easily
# roll back to a previous install by changing the symbolic link
# to /usr/local/bin. After awhile you might want to delete some of the
# old directories.

# how do you like to call this program? (chrome-linux, chrome, chromium, google-chrome?)
APPNAME="chromium"
# get the latest build number (JSON)
VERSION=$(wget -qO- http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com ... AST_CHANGE)
# get some extra metadata to display on the command line
LOGURL="http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/Linux/"$VERSION"/REVISIONS"
LOG=$(wget -qO- $LOGURL)
# build the URL of the file we'll be downloading
DOWNLOADURL="http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/Linux/"$VERSION"/chrome-linux.zip"



# Here's some command line output ...
echo -e "\r\n-------------------------"
echo "BUILD: "$VERSION
echo $LOGURL
echo $LOG
echo -e "-------------------------\r\n"

# if this was already downloaded, then it would either need to be deleted or aborted

# where should we put this 37MB download?
tempfile="/tmp/chrome-linux-"$VERSION".zip"
tempdir="/tmp/chrome-linux/"$VERSION
# just putting this in my home directory now because i'm lazy
permdir=~/$APPNAME"/"$VERSION

# get the large download ...
wget $DOWNLOADURL -O $tempfile
mkdir -p $permdir
unzip $tempfile -d $permdir

# if the symlink exists it needs to be removed now
# actually, this should be linked to the user's personal bin space and sudo/password wouldn't be needed ...
# (so for time being it's needing password
sudo rm "/usr/local/bin/"$APPNAME
sudo ln -s $permdir"/chrome-linux/chrome" "/usr/local/bin/"$APPNAME

echo "All done! ...."

# you forgot to delete the tempdir stuff after the unzipping
# although it's in /tmp and should be wiped next reboot
----------------------------------------------------------------
2-give permission to run
3-run as normal user in a terminal
4-when at the end of the download it will ask you for a password, just close the terminal. You will find in /tmp the chromium.zip and in home a chromium folder, open the folder and look for chrome-wrapper, just click on and see if it works.
In my system works.
There is also an extension in chrome call
chromium updater
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... jlbigkcddl
This is the one I normally use.
If in this way works means that our pkg need rebuild
I'm still using kernel 3.3.6 (I will not able to be here and I don't have any of your problems of your graphic card so I cannot post really about rc3.

Hi franco,

I did everything as you specified and after running chromium wrapper,
I got the reply as follows :



Any solutions ??

Thanks in advance,

I try to reproduce your problem. I did not have any success.
Here any version of chrome-chromium is working.
Sorry



PS-new kernel has brcmsmac module. It should work out of box. At least
I hope.

Hi franco,

I dont know what the problem is. But, chromium was working fine in my Zenwalk 6.4 stable version. After that, I didnt change to Zenwalk 7.0. I am using 7.2 RC3 directly. Probably, there must be problem with the new kernel or may be a problem with the pkging. I will try to rebuild the pkg from source customizing it to my system and check the output and report it here. Let me see, what I will get.

Thank you,

I found this place
http://download-chromium.appspot.com/
The good is that you can use firefox or any other browser to download the zip.
What I don't understand is why google does not use this zip for all linux distro.
You can find also in slacky.eu a slackware pkg
chromium - 20.0.1104.0 - Slackware 13.37 (network)
Dep mozilla-nss
build 18-04-2012

Hi franco,

Thanks for the link

I will check and get back to you soon

chromiun work here on snapshot, no problem.
