Google Chrome in FC10, F11, F12

Update: There is official Chrome Beta for Linux (rpm and deb format)
http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.ht...rm=linux&hl=en
Works great!

I was searching for Chromium in Fedora and there is

Code:
sudo gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/chromium.repo
Put this in chromium.repo file
Code:
[chromium]
name=Chromium Test Packages
baseurl=http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium/F$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
Code:
sudo yum -y install chromium

Polished Chromium with Flash and extensions

Starting Chrome with Flash support
Code:
 chromium-browser  --enable-plugins
---

Starting Chrome with extensions
Code:
 chromium-browser --enable-greasemonkey --enable-user-scripts --enable-extensions
Download and install extension from http://www.adsweep.org/

Open chrome://extensions/ and check installed extensions


----
Configuration directory is located in user home directory
Code:
.config/chromium/
If you have problem with flash etc remove this dir.

With latest update (chromium-3.0.194.0-0.1.20090713svn20473.fc11.i586) flash really works:



Adsweep can genereate problems, so better is to uninstall it.

confirmed! I just installed fedora 11 after being away since fedora 8... the one thing I missed most was chrome... and now it installs and works great. I havent hit any bugs (yet) and flash seems to be working correctly.

Dns?

Installs ok, but all pages returns:
Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): The server could not be found.

F11 x64 here

//ok solved by updating nss-mdns.i586, thanks

I think this is because you dont have nss-mdns.i586 on 64 bit machine, please install it and try again.
Alternative solution is to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf, search line for hosts
Code:
hosts:      files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
Then remove [NOTFOUND=return] or move dns before this.
Source: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/is...etail?id=13409



Code:
sudo yum install nss-mdns.i586

Thanks for the post, I reposted it on my blog - hopefully, this will give it more traction. I had a problem with the flash, but I immediately got an update for the v8 packages. Once I ran that, I was good to go. I love package management.

Nice post - http://www.fergytech.com/2009/07/a-c...a-11/#more-602

Im not sure if libcanberra-gtk2.i586 and PackageKit-gtk-module.i586 are required for flash support, but I saw in logs than chromium want this libs. So probably this is not related to flash.
