Any luck running Google Chrome on Wine?

[kendon]

sweet, Gonzo_Darks howto works just fine, writing this in chrome on hardy, thx a lot.
it is actually slower than it is in my virtualboxed windows xp, so i still can't wait for the official linux version...

same thing for me, i cant browse any site. just want to share this.

flaws already discovered on google chrome that could exposed windows users to malicious hacker attacks (http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=1843)

It is working for me even though it does not like this command


Code:

winetricks riched20 riched30

scott@scott-desktop:~$ winetricks riched20 riched30
bash: winetricks: command not found

[quazi]

I actually followed the instructions exactly,

wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh ./winetricks riched20 riched30

worked perfectly.

However I get

$ winetricks riched20 riched30
bash: Permission denied
$ sudo winetricks riched20 riched30
sudo: winetricks: command not found

and while running

wine "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/$USER/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe" --new-http --in-process-plugins

successfully opens chrome, it fails to render pages and closes immediately when I try to drag it.

I may just wait until it comes out for linux regardless as firefox is pretty damn good.

Apparently it was a mistake and they have removed it from the new EULA.

I loaded Chrome in an XP vm, and it's pretty nice, but what concerns me about it is the lack of information from Google. We didn't know about it until it was upon us. When are Linux and Mac ports due? Google isn't saying. Even Apple is more forthcoming about future releases than this. Given that this is an open source project, a little more transparency would be nice.

Has anyone gotten a launcher to work for this yet? Using

env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine "C:\windows\profiles\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-http --in-process-plugins

Does NOT work correctly from the launcher, but DOES work from a terminal window.

Any ideas?

I do not get the permission denied error and message, but I do get command not found duo, although it says the following with bash instead of sudo as the shell. I have to assume you have to be running as your home directory user, not sudo to get the correct permissions, as that is the only difference but that makes no sense.

winetricks riched20 riched30
bash: winetricks: command not found

I was able to open up a forum I visit regularly and it worked, so are your home directory permissions setup in a non-default way that would cut off Wine or anything else in all this?

You need to make sure you use this command or it won't work.

sh ./winetricks riched20 riched30

Just copy and paste the command and it will work.
