ReplyDeleteGoogle Chrome and Chromium arent the same thing.
ReplyDelete"The Chromium projects include Chromium and Chromium OS, the open-source projects behind the Google Chrome browser and Google Chrome OS, respectively."
If you want to install google chrome, for example because of easier install of extensions, you have to do this:
Download the latest .deb from google chrome website.
-Open terminal
-Type: dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
(or whatever ur filename is)
-When you have installed it, you have to do this to be able to run it:
-In terminal: cd /usr/bin
gedit google-chrome
(or if u are using kde, then "kate google-chrome")
At the end of exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@"
Add --user-data-dir
So it looks like this
exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --user-data-dir
start the app from menu or type google-chrome to terminal
I have try that steps..
DeleteBut thanks for your information and your time to visit my simple blog.
thanks a lot dearie, we got a nice guy out there!
Deleteyou're welcome. :)
DeleteOh my goodness this was so awsome.... really really grateful for this little bit of info!! thank you much my friend!!
ReplyDeleteJust add this to the short-cut
ReplyDelete/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome %U --user-data-dir
In step 3, while replacing to getppid , an error message- File is read only.Press any key..
ReplyDeleteSo what should i do ??
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 79244308 May 18 00:16 chrome
ReplyDeleteEven Says that it is a read only
Here's another good option if you have trouble with the above:
ReplyDelete1. Go to /usr/bin
2. Make a copy of chromium-browser
3. Rename this copy chromium-browser-start
4. Open original chromium-browser with gedit, erase everything
5. Type "chromium-browser-start %U --user-data-dir" (minus the quotations)
6. Save
So what we've done here is: When you call the Google Chromium browser (Chrome) either through the command line, clicking on the script in /bin, or through clicking on the Applications, Internet, Chromium Web Browser link, it runs the new chromium-browser script which just makes us a temp directory that Chrome will run in, then calls the Chrome browser.
Easy!
works great thanks...
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying with chrome....thanks....
