I have tried to make it simple here is the links to the files needed to make google-chrome work in most puppys
google-libs-9 it also creates the application file for google-chrome
xdgopen-1.pet created by Jimimah so that google-chrome links open properly in puppy. Than download any of the deb google-chrome 32 bit files you want.

I noticed the following error when i tried Firefox after installing Chrome
When i click details, i get the following error
Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 2: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-root/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory)

I am not to familiar with Lucid configuration you will need to talk to someone more informed about how Lucid in configured. They have the system set up to use Chromium and they may have set up special handles for all this. Sorry I can not be of more help.

For what I have to say on the matter is that I myself have stop using Google-chrome a while back and just try and keep updating files to help out puppy users.
Running as root is not the wises way to run a system but with the way puppy is run in mostly frugal installs it is not a major problem and I have done some fire wall test and it stands up very well. I just do not like have anyone tell me I can not to something the way google has. To give a warning yes but to stop it, well that is like having them come into your house a 10 pm and say you need to get off your computer and go to bed lol. Google will be Google I use Firefox now. You can make your own choice.

chrismt good that you tell about these experiences of how they do it.
Chrome or Chromium?
What happens then if you go to Iron browser and look if they have an Iron version of Chrome /Chromium for Developers. Could teh Iron devs maybe have another policy than the Chromg gang have?
http://www.srware.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2293
We released the new Iron 10 for Linux today, which contains all features and updates known from Chromim 10. The current version is 10.0.650.0.
Mainly there is the new JavaScript Engine "Crankshaft", which is up to 60% faster than the known one. There are also many new experimental features in about:flags to discover. Additionaly this release contains some security- un bugfixes.
The userstring in UA.ini is now also used for the JS-UserAgent.
Downloads:
http://www.srware.net/downloads/iron-linux.tar.gz (32-Bit)
http://www.srware.net/downloads/iron-linux-64.tar.gz (64-Bit)
They are still at 10 instead of Chrome 11 but they sooner or later catch up. I have no idea if they have a developer version though or their policy on being root.
Could you maybe join their forum and ask for a version that works for us with Puppy?
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I downloaded Iron for linux but found that it requires glibc-2.11 and as of right now most puppys do not have this version of glibc so will not run on most puppys sorry.

Thanks Grumpy, that was sad. so we have to wait or tell them to not use that Glib then Thanks for the try anyway.
Lobster showed that one could use sudo in puppy to allow the Chrome Dev version to run on Puppy but not as root. So not sure what that means. Spot does have restrictions. Can one tell Spot to behave as if Root but not telling Chrome Develper version about it?
Chris tell us that the Developer version is much faster. Does it casual user notice any difference? I mean they say that FF is slowest. And I maybe can see what they mean. Sometime I have to wait for it to shutdown so it is working on some maintenance thing in the background and then it shut down after several seconds and it is slow at start too.
But Chrome has other issues such as Flash plug in being different than the one for FF?
Grumpy your version and this version both need to have the special Glib and Lupu has the Ubuntu lib and that does not work together I guess?

My pet for Google-chrome is for it to have the libs it needs not the lib.so.6 from glibc-2.11 but yes Lupu I believe has the glibc-2.11 they got from Ubuntu.
I am about to test the new Firefox 4 the test results I have read say it is a lot faster but will see how it does. But if google is going to try and tell me how to run my computer then I will not run there software.

11.0.696.57 & spot?
Deterioration inside browser industry continues . Google-Chrome stable for linux is now 11.0.696.57. Debian package and libs-10 by GrumpyWolfe installed in Quirky-130, console says:
# google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libaries: libpam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Pam placed to /opt/google/chrome/, chrome demands to lower my status:
Google Chrome can not be run as root. Please start Google as a normal user. If you have previously run Google Chrome as root, you will need to change the ownership of your profile directory.
Wrong Pam or what to do?
100th post . Just updated Firefox from 4.0 to 4.0.1. No spot required. Waiting for crash.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issue ... l?id=75575
This put the fixing of not running as root out of my hands unless someone else sees a work around. It is just google develpers way of putting out rules the want everybody to follow the end.

Not running as root. Does running as spot make it work? It is not that bad.
Micko did a good thing with the BrowseSafe pet so do try it. I am using Iron instead of Chromium. Same thing only some months older in versions. Maybe they know how to do the root thing or if I am out of luck them too is non-root obsessed. But the old version 10 don't require root.
