Google Chrome Stable

corenominal · 2011-01-01 07:27:24

Google Chrome Stable should now be available directly from the CrunchBang Statler repositories. It can be installed with the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

Google Chrome will replace Iceweasel as the default browser in the next Statler release.

apt isn't picking up on the new packages, might be the timezone differences or something.. I'm gonna see if clearing the release or contents.bz2 stuff in /var/cache or something will clear it up. Any recommends to make it take it?

corenominal · 2011-01-01 08:06:59

^ strange, please keep us informed.

rstrcogburn · 2011-01-01 08:50:32

think we may have begun to triag it dude. luckily mom and my little bro are running i686 statler stable so I did updates on their's and apt-cache search chrome.. it came up fine. my main system that isn't seeing the repo updates is amd64. After reading http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debia … thenticity some and browsing different files as well as renaming some /var/cache stuff to ~ and updating. It seems it might be something in the amd64 release files. Hopefully that helps some.

^ thanks for the extra info, I will look into it. smile

rstrcogburn · 2011-01-02 02:53:43

figured it out man, was just a problem with my sources.list.. I had added a deb-src line for the #! amd64 repo, thinking it would just be there for when it's relevant. Little did I know that would bork the binary repo entry. I always thought those 2 were separate :$ Guess we learn something new every day.

^ good stuff, thanks for reporting back. smile

I love and use chrome, so I am very happy to se it move in to the #! repo. But I am also a bit conflicted about it becomming the default. In my experience chrome is much heaviere on ram then e.g. firefox. I guess this is the tradeoff that comes with having each tab run its own process. On my two old machines (512 and 378 mb ram) I therefore use firefox.

Since #! has a deservedly reputation for being light and fast, I fear some users will experience their old machines bork on chrome. Wich would be ashame. Maybe midori is mature enough to be a lightweight webkit browser?

Anyways - thanks for all the new exiting #! things i 2011 :-D

^ Yeah - I guess its mostly a problem if you like I can't help but having 10 open tabs :-D Not a good idea on an old machine - in any browser.

Does "aptitude hold google-chrome-stable" prevent apt-get dist-upgrade from installing chrome when it is in the statler-repository? I prefer opera 11 btw.
