I got a bit further by using winetricks.

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

I now get a working location bar, but still no web.

I am able to browse most pages, though no https.

This is a recap of the wine appdb page.

Grab wine 1.1.3 from the apt repository, instructions at http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb .

Grab the offline installer, eg at http://gpdl.google.com/chrome/instal..._installer.exe

Grab winetricks, instructions at http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
.

Run

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

It runs very slow though, apparently the processes aren't lightweight at all.

Wine AppDB shows it working with some tweaks, though i'm not able to reproduce

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.

I can't quite get it to work. I get as far as this line

sh ./winetricks riched20 riched30

but I can't run the second winetricks command (under user I get permission denied and sudo spits out command not found).

Then when I run the browser using that wine command it cannot load pages and crashes immediately. Presumably my problem's coming in with the line

winetricks riched20 riched30

I tried Gonzo_Duck's instructions. I tried running installer under wine and got:

fixme:shellllCanUnloadNow stub
fixme:shellllCanUnloadNow stub
fixme:shellllCanUnloadNow stub

I got the latest version of wine (1.1.3)

Any help?

This works for me on Hardy 8.04 with the new Wine. Many thanks!

No https and very slow, but functional and pretty.
