Any luck running Google Chrome on Wine?

[Gonzo_Dark]

Here is a guide for the new browser Google Chrome

Open your terminal and then follow the steps below

First get WINE (the newest version)

wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
sudo apt-get update

Then install Chrome via the offline installer

Download the file from the link below, then place the file on your desktop and double click on it.

http://gpdl.google.com/chrome/install/149.27/chrome_installer.exe

Then install riched20 and riched30

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

and finally to get it all to work, do this

winetricks riched20 riched30
wine "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/$USER/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe" --new-http --in-process-plugins

To use the program in the future(from the terminal), you need to run:

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

If you want to make a program icon in your tray, then do this:

1. Right click on your menu and click and chose the option "Add to panel" and then "User defined program shortcut"

2. Now you can see a new window with the title "Make Shortcut" with the options "Name", "Command" and "Comment"

Under name you should write "Google Chrome", under "Command" you should use this code

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

remember to replace YOURUSERNAME with your user name (both of them)

and then you should use this tray icon (click on the bouncing platform to change icon)

/home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/share/icons/25e1_chrome.0.xpm

and again, remember to change "YOURUSERNAME" into your user name.

Hope it works for you

Enjoy

pps. I am using the Danish version of Ubuntu and Chrome, so if I made any translation errors, then please correct me.
