Workable chromium for Voidpup32

Post by jrb »

I was sad to hear that alienbob has given up compiling chromium-ungoogled for 32bit.:( Can't blame him and I certainly am grateful for the incredible work he does.

However, I wanted a working, update-able version of chromium for Voidpup32. So I made one from Debian Sid files. (Void's chromium32 has bugs I'm not happy with)

I have packaged it as a portable, but it can certainly be converted to an .sfs or installable.

I am attaching Portable32-chromium-AllSid.tar.gz. Just extract it while running Voidpup32, go into the folder and click install-update-AllSid. This will download and install the latest chromium files and the extra libs needed.

After installing, click chromium-Launch and it will create a user profile in the folder and launch chromium.

install-update-AllSid should always get the latest chromium but not the latest extra libs. Hopefully these will last for some time. You can read the extra files needed in chromium-sid-extradebs-i386. Browse the Debian folder they are in if you wish to get updates.

Enjoy, J

Update #1
Debian chromium has updated to 134.0.6998.35-1 and with it changes in the extra_libs required. I have reworked things to accommodate:

  • updated chromium-sid-extradebs-i386
    included a script to open your default browser to https://distro.ibiblio.org/debian/pool/main as well as all the sub-directories for the specific deps needed.
    included a second launch script, chromium-Launch-captcha, which works on "Are you human?" tests which go into an endless loop. It disables webgl so not one to be used all the time.

See Post #1 above for the latest version.

Enjoy, J
