    Chromium Browser Nightly PPA

    I've tried searching (as you do).

    I have the Chromium Nightly builds PPA added but this hasn't seen any changes for the last three weeks (same as Dev and Beta PPA). The Stable PPA, however, had a build 12 days ago.

    Does anyone know what is happening with these PPAs? I'm having problems running a stable version...

    Choices. That's what it's all about.

    First items on a new lubuntu install is synaptic complete removal of chromium which automatically installs firefox.

    Now one of my quantals updates to firefox 12, the other is at firefox 11. Go figure. They both work fine, quantal's not broken for me yet...

    p.s. just updated quantal, Firefox 12 installed fine.

    Sometimes the people uploading to the ppa's get lazy. Keep a lookout for new builds.

    yes its the ppa maintainers either being lazy or for whatever reason not updating it, i noticed about 2 months ago its been like that for ages now,
    the nightly ppa only updated to version 18 about a week before the stable release, whats more according to the timeline the last update before that was over a year ago

    you can grab the latest unstable (dev) direct from google http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel it is at 20.1115.1

    it runs fine on amd64 + nvidia sys .
    if it ain't broke you haven't tweaked it enough

    Thanks! That explains the reason why, glad it's not just because they forgot about it.

    That looks promising though it's Chrome and not Chromium. This could have changed but it used to be the case that Chrome sent a lot of information back to Google but Chromium did not. I've noticed that there's a "Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Google" checkbox in Chrome settings now, though, so maybe this has changed.
