[SOLVED] Chrome in BL

Merlin09 · 2017-08-09 20:35:46

Hello,

I'm pretty sure I'm just too stupid to use the search function, but I didn't find anything relevant.

How could I install chrome stable in bl-Deuterium-i386_20170429.iso.

As it is a 32bits version, I guess it will be version 48, but I didn't find a script in install, and I wasn't able to install the Deb file "as is" because of dependencies.

Is there a way to get it installed? I need it to use widevine drm module, and as far as I know, it is a chrome only plug-in.

Thanks in advance,

OK, I don't know if it is something I did or if it was there from the beginning and I'm just blind, but chrome is installed and working???
I'll try to install again tomorrow to validate which it is... Unless someone knows and is able to tell me

There is a reason that there is a forum HowTo: Getting Started > Introduction to the BunsenLabs Desktop

Menu -> Network -> WWW Browsers -> Install -> Google Chrome Stable

I've seen this post, but it wasn't in the menu, I guess I installed it one way or another... Anyway... I told you it was stupid

Thanks a lot

Chrome is at 60.something now so that version will be highly vulnerable and should not be used at all.

Google have stopped supporting 32-bit so you should switch to Chromium.

I know, but because of this drm, I can't use anything else that I know of. I search from time to time, but for the time being, I had no luck.

Have you tried Chromium with our bunsen-pepperflash package?

https://www.bunsenlabs.org/repoidx.html … epperflash

The latest version of PPAPI should support DRM-restricted playback.

Yes, in fact it is a particular TV provider here in France, for which, under Linux, you can only use Chrome, because it is either widevine and html5, or flash and silverlight, which does not exist for Linux. I heard about a widevine Firefox plug-in, but had no time to test it yet

Sneaky tip if all else fails: use Wine to run a browser for Windows (although probably not so good on old hardware ). That is what I have used for Channel4 in the UK.

I would be with you on this one, but this is a 900MHz processor hardware, with an Intel gma900 gpu. There's no way it would manage to run smoothly

Just a quick heads up, I don't have install chrome in any menu, but I installed the Deb and its dependancy with dpkg , then a

 sudo apt-get -f install

, and that's it

In that case you aren't running the default setup. The browsers menu is populated by "bl-x-www-browser-pipemenu", which gets its entries from "~/.config/openbox/pipemenus.rc"

$ cat .config/openbox/pipemenus.rc
# pipemenu.rc holds the applications which appear in the Openbox pipemenus
# Edit the arrays to add or remove package names, making sure there are spaces
# between each entry.
....
# Browsers pipemenu (bl-x-www-browser-pipemenu)
BROWSERS=('chromium' 'firefox' 'google-chrome-stable' 'opera' )

This is because there is no Chrome available from the Google repositories for i386, and the menu only displays the install item on amd64 systems.

EDIT:

[[ $curApp = google-chrome-stable && $(dpkg --print-architecture) != 'amd64' ]] && continue

Although there may be .deb files available for old 32-bit versions of Chrome, it is pretty dangerous to use them.
