Grabbing now with SourceForge Downloader

In 51.0.2704.63 I had a weird issue with GitHub not loading css/javascript properly. I would have to refresh the page. Let's hope 51.0.2704.84 resolves that issue. EDIT> Seems that it does.

Talking of Chrome 26; hmmm. You wouldn't consider sharing the .pet, would you? I wouldn't mind giving it a test run on my own 14-yr old Dell Inspiron, actually; more so if it uses PepperFlash. It should be updateable...

Certainly, that's fine by me. I'll send you the download details.

Thanks! Will let you know how I get on with it....and with PepperFlash.

I keep wondering whether it wouldn't be possible to set up a self-contained newer version of the glibc for use in older Pups, simply so they can run a more up-to-date Chromium-based browser. It needs a few more items, but most of those can be pillaged from other Pup's libraries. 'Twill take some investigation, methinks.

I have just done this to get Palemoon running on Fluppy, a Wary-based Pup from 2011. I originally did a temporary tweak for GlibC 2.11.3 some time ago (see this page: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... start=1065), but now I've also got it working for 2.20 in a similar way, using the GlibC 2.20 PET from here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=806989. I don't install the PET because that would mess up this Pup's existing GlibC. I just extract it to a temporary directory and run:

Code: Select all

/tmp/glibc220/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /tmp/glibc220/lib/:/tmp/glibc220/usr/lib/:/tmp/glibc220/libstdc++/:/usr/X11R7/lib/:/opt/palemoon/ /opt/palemoon/palemoon "$@"

Note the additional libstdc++ library path, containing just libstdc++.so.6 which I pulled from an SFS of Skype 4.2 for Carolina.

Plugins are run separately, so to get the Flash player and other plugins to work I had to rename plugin-container to plugin-container-executable and then create a plugin-container script containing:

Code: Select all

/tmp/glibc220/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /tmp/glibc220/lib/:/tmp/glibc220/usr/lib/:/tmp/glibc220/libstdc++/:/usr/X11R7/lib/:/opt/palemoon/ /opt/palemoon/plugin-container-executable "$@"

You don't actually need all the files in the GlibC 2.20 PET. Here's what I'm using:

So an additional 15MB to get the latest Palemoon to run.

Your system might have other dependencies (e.g. a later dbus) but most of those can be grabbed from other distros as required.

Not too tricky... I haven't tried with Chromium, though. I suspect there may be more significant problems there.

Morning, ac2011.

Hm. Interesting. So it can be done...

I wonder if there might be a way to create an SFS package to run this.....placing the contents in the /tmp directory, as & when you want to run a newer browser. Might even be a way to organise things so that when you click on a desktop launcher icon for a more modern browser, it would execute a script that first loads the SFS, and then launches the chosen browser.....

Worth consideration, yes? Thanks for the info. I'm no expert at this kind of thing, but I am playing around with modifying various scripts more & more these days, so; I may look into this.

Cheers!

Yes, it's possible if GlibC is the only limiting factor, but I'm not sure that's true with Chromium. Have a look at the Pale Moon thread, where watchdog has taken my idea and built a pet for Wary using it.

A further pointer: some apps require a more complete GlibC installation (not just the libs but binaries, gconv, etc.). For 2.11.3 I wrote a separate 'full-glibc' script that temporarily copied them into the appropriate directories (e.g. /lib), ran the application, then reverted (via zip file) to the 2.10 versions three seconds later, i.e. once the relevant libs were in RAM. Sounds insane, but I only did this when discarding all save file changes at shutdown, in case of glitches. Surprisingly I never saw any. I'm not recommending this for 2.20, but it got some apps working that wouldn't run under the method I've described here.

It all may be moot, though. I can't find a security patch for GlibC 2.10.1 and I'm slightly (though only slightly) uneasy about GHOST vulnerabilities in that version. I may end up doing a full upgrade to 2.20, but only if I can get locales working properly - not the export LC_ALL workaround.

UPDATED 06-aug-2016

THIS VERSION WILL ONLY WORK ON "MODERN" PUPPIES - e.g. LxPup, LxPupTahr, Slacko6, TahrPup6, X-tahr, X-Slacko
and then only on versions with kernels newer than 3.14 unless you apply the patch here which does affect sandboxing

32bit sfs:
chromium_52.0.2743.116+pepper_22.0.0.209_lx.sfs

64bit sfs:
chromium64_52.0.2743.116+pepper_22.0.0.209_lx.sfs

older .pet versions are available or use the converter.

Caveats and constraints as detailed above

If you need a .pet instead of a .sfs or you want the 64-bit .sfs to run on tahrpup64 then use this converter.

To use services, such as Netflix, with protected content, you probably need to add the widevine plugin to Chromium (see testing thread). Links to the versions compatible with the above versions of Chromium are below. Just download the .txz file and then click on the downloaded file to install it.

52.0.2743.116 is available see above.

[solex]

I have installed the latest SFS on my Slack 6.3 install on my X61.

Frequently Chromium will freeze up and cause a screen flash. I have launched it from the console and am receiving the attached errors. Particularly when I use the back arrow navigation and when switching tabs.

I have tried installing and un-installing widevine with the same results

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

I did some research and found that this is an intel driver issue, starting chroumium with the following settings seems to mitigate the issue:

Code: Select all

"always_flush_cache=true always_flush_batch=true chromium-browser"

just need to determine how to always start chromium with these flags instead of through the console.

I can't remember if I installed widvine but in July I installed Chromium 43.0.2357.132 and it worked with netflix on tahrpup. FOr me to get it to work I also installed some codec files from the puppy package manager.

Hi Dan

Edit /usr/bin/chromium

and add them to the exec line - suspect you just need the 2 =true flags

Hi,
I tried this but the flags actually need to come before the chromium-browser. I tried editing all of the scripts to start the browser but none will let me put the flags before the actual command.

Thanks,

if they are environment variables rather than cli parameters then they need to go on separate lines preceeding the exec line.....
