Re: Chromium 6
I installed 7.0.517.0 dev from the google chrome website. I downloaded the 32 bit deb and installed w/ gdebi. Seems to be working well, posting from it now

Thanks for the information on gdebi. That's quite handy!pghjake wrote:I installed 7.0.517.0 dev from the google chrome website. I downloaded the 32 bit deb and installed w/ gdebi. Seems to be working well, posting from it now
I searched for Google Chrome Beta and could only find version 6.0.472.55. Am I not downloading from the correct place?
When I installed gdebi gave this message:
Is there any way to fix this?.. Error notice aside, it seems to be working fine.Error: Breaks existing package 'google-chrome-stable' that conflict: 'google-chrome'. But the '/home/user/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb' provides it via: 'google-chrome'

^ You need to get the developer release from here http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involve ... #TOC-Linux

Did you install gdebi yourself, or is it just missing/unassociated on my system?pghjake wrote:I installed 7.0.517.0 dev from the google chrome website. I downloaded the 32 bit deb and installed w/ gdebi. Seems to be working well, posting from it now
Re: Chromium 6
I switched to the Iron browser which currently is running 5.0.381 with ver 6 coming out next week.
Its a nice fast browser w/o the spyware

After you unzip the .gz file, you can just create a shortcut to your desktop and run the browser

I just used synaptic to fully remove chrome and install the new version (thanks for the link omns) and upon reinstalling with gdebi the same error came up:
"Error: Breaks existing package 'google-chrome-stable' that conflict: 'google-chrome'. But the '/home/user/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb' provides it via: 'google-chrome'"
Only this time I cannot find where chrome installed... I then did a complete removal with synaptic and reinstalled. Same results.
Re: Chromium 6
If you want to use the recent Chromium 7 dev builds in Debian, you can use the following repository:
In a terminal enter sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and add
deb http://frickelplatz.de/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
After running apt-get update
enter apt-get install frickelplatz-archive-keyring frickelplatz-keyring frickelplatz-keyrings
I've been using the Chromium dev builds for the last few months, and I have found them to be very stable.
In a terminal enter sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
and add
deb http://frickelplatz.de/debian/ sid main non-free contrib
After running apt-get update
enter apt-get install frickelplatz-archive-keyring frickelplatz-keyring frickelplatz-keyrings

Re: Chromium 6
When I did this firefox somehow disappeared. :shock I looked in synaptic and it showed as not installed. That's okay though, I just reinstalled it and it's fine.Bordee wrote:If you want to use the recent Chromium 7 dev builds in Debian, you can use the following repository:

Thank you all for your help!
* Edit: Chromium 7.0.516.0 is now installed and working great!
Re: Chromium 6
I'm very sorry to ask, but I've bumped into a site that explained the differences between chrome and chromium and I'd rather install chromium now.
Chromium is not in the software manager or synaptic. How can I download it?
Thank you for your patience.

Re: Chromium 6
Chromium is no longer included in the Debain testing repositories, and it is not included in the Mint repository either. The debs that can be downloaded from http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involve ... #TOC-Linux are only for Chrome, not Chromium builds. Thus, you could either compile Chromium from source, or use the much easier options of adding the frickelplatz repository. Follow the instructions I provided above to enable that repository and install Chromium.
Re: Chromium 6
In that case I think I'll keep chrome on for now until the rep's are available in LMDE.Bordee wrote:Chromium is no longer included in the Debain testing repositories, and it is not included in the Mint repository either.

Thanks Bordee for taking the time to answer.
Re: Chromium 6
Yes it is. I just installed it. Just try Synaptic or Software manager, but is version 5.0.375.127~r55887-1Bordee wrote:Chromium is no longer included in the Debain testing repositories, and it is not included in the Mint repository either.

Re: Chromium 6
Change the repository from testing to sid, install chromium and change the repository back to testing. The easiest way.

Re: Chromium 6
A suggestion, maybe Chromium "Stable" (v6) could be added to the LMDE repositories ? Doesn't look like it's going to be back in Debian Testing any time soon, but it's a very popular browser and its release cycle fits very well with a rolling release distribution like LMDE !!indelible wrote:hi guys.i have a problem.is there a way to install chromium 6 in lmde?
Re: Chromium 6
I'm happy to announce that chromium-browser is back in testing!

In other news, they took out Dropbox from testing for some reason. Oh well.
