After porting Firefox on N900 a new project is moving the masses: Google Chrome

Jacekowski has done an amazing  job to port Google Chrome to N900.

what you have to do is to down load 2 packages from jacekowski.org and install them on your N900:

- chromium-5.0.369.2.deb

- libxss-1.1.3.deb

Download the packages on N900 folder directly.

here are some things he wrote before installing it:

 

this packages don't work with app manager.

you have to install them using dpkg.

in console, chromium should work with libxss from extras-devel repo or libxss from here

( if you use extras-devel repo version you will have to use some --force when installing chromium )

and here is how you install it on your N900:

you need: xterm (rootsh)

// 1. login as root

sudo gainroot

// 2. goto MyDocs folder

cd MyDocs

// 3. install the packages:

dpkg -i libxss-1.1.3.deb
dpkg -i chromium-5.0.369.2.deb

that's it: the Google Chrome browser should be installed now.

i would reboot the N900, to clean some temp files.

and if you want to uninstall Google Chrome from your N900:

you need: xterm (rootsh)

// 1. login as root

sudo gainroot

// 2. uninstall the packages:

dpkg -r libxss
dpkg -r chromium

Don't forget to thank Jacekowski for deveolping it :-)

you can download it right with you App manager :-)
