When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Beta updates" tag in Release blog for this. Do not report updates for ChromeOS, Android or other platforms beta versions as updates here.

This package will automatically get updated as soon as the Debian package is available. This is checked at least once per hour.

Latest version 96 does not work on XWayland. The program opens but no window appears. Works if I run it as Ozone/Wayland.

noabody commented on 2021-07-17 17:59 (UTC)

Apparently Google uses a single standard updated URL for the latest Debian version (beta, stable, unstable): https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-beta_current_amd64.deb https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb

One could 'SKIP' the SHA check and do a blind build with version update like so:

source=("https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-${_channel}_current_amd64.deb"
pkgver() {
  tar -xf control.tar.xz './control' --to-command="grep -Pio '(?<=Version: )[\d\.]+'"
}

Google Chrome stopped working after updating systemd to 249-3, the error is:

ERROR:network_service_instance_impl.cc(331)] Network service crashed, restarting service.

Seems like the issue is related to DNS resolving, as browser can still open simple pages if I use IP address.

Downgrading to systemd 248-3 resolves the issue. Meanwhile Chromium works totally fine with systemd 249-3.

I had the problem with 84.0.4147.30-1 the GUI didn't want to resize properly. I had to revert to 83.0.4103.61-1 for the browser to be useable. Anybody else seeing this? (I'm on MATE desktop BTW.)

Det commented on 2019-06-23 05:33 (UTC)

Well. Bash is part of base, which is sort of assumed to be installed on the system along with base-devel, if you're not a [core] pacakge.

Jaakkonen commented on 2019-06-22 21:48 (UTC)

Please remove bash usage from /usr/bin/google-chrome-beta or add bash as dependency to the package.

LA-MJ commented on 2019-01-31 22:09 (UTC)

Anyone knows what's up with those semi-regular hanged-at-97% downloads? Is it me only?

One would think google knows how to manage their infrastructure.

Det commented on 2018-11-24 12:37 (UTC)

Good-bye, friends.

I've left Arch a long time ago, and now I'm leaving these too.

http://softone1.com/google-chrome-64-0-3282-39-beta/#comment-96 Google Chrome 64.0.3282.39 BETA Google Chrome 64.0.3282.39 BETA

Google’s game changing browser Chrome combines sophisticated technology with a simple UI, to create a faster, safer and easier browsing experience. Launched in 2008, Google Chrome quickly dominated the browser market to become the most used browser globally within 4 years of its public release. Google’s rapid and continuous development cycle ensures the browser continues to compete with the other most popular and advanced web browsers available.

Speed

Perhaps the area Google invested most of its development time to differentiate from other browsers. Google Chrome launches extremely quickly from your desktop, runs applications at speed thanks to a powerful JavaScript engine and loads pages rapidly using the WebKit open source rendering engine. Add to this quicker search and navigation options from the simplified UI and you have a browser that is pretty hard to beat on speed, especially if gaming is your thing.

Clean, simple UI

Google Chrome’s most striking feature and a substantial factor in its popularity – the simple UI hasn’t changed much since the beta launch in 2008. Google focused on trimming down unnecessary toolbar space to maximise browsing real estate. The browser is made up of 3 rows of tools, the top layer horizontally stacks automatically adjusting tabs, next to a simple new tabs icon and the standard minimize, expand & close windows controls. The middle row includes 3 navigation controls (Back, Forward & Stop/Refresh), a URL box which also allows direct Google web searching and a star bookmarking icon. Extensions and browser settings icons line up to the right of the URL box. The third row is made up of bookmark folders and installed apps. Easily overlooked now, this clean UI was a breath of fresh air compared to the overcrowded toolbars of popular browsers pre-2008.

Privacy

Another hugely popular feature, Incognito mode allows you to browse privately by disabling history recording, reducing traceable breadcrumbs and removing tracking cookies on shutdown. Chrome’s settings also allow you to customize regular browsing privacy preferences.

Security Chrome’s Sandboxing prevents malware automatically installing on your computer or affecting other browser tabs. Chrome also has Safe Browsing technology built in with malware and phishing protection that warns you if you encounter a website suspected of containing malicious software/activity. Regular automatic updates ensure security features are up to date and effective. Customization A vast selection of apps, extensions, themes and settings make your browsing experience unique to you. Improve productivity, security, navigation speed, pretty much anything you can think of with apps and extensions from the Google Chrome Store. Install themes created by top artists or make your own using mychrometheme.com. Sign in with your Google Account to back up your contacts, preferences, history as well as access all your Google tools with a single login.

You don't compile anything with this package, by the way. It's an already compiled app by Google.

marwell flagged google-chrome-beta out-of-date on 2017-12-15 for the following reason:

Same issue as Brottweiler: install: cannot stat '/tmp/makepkg/google-chrome-beta/pkg/google-chrome-beta/opt/google/chrome-beta/product_logo_16.png': No such file or directory

It is looking for chrome-beta/product_logo_16.png but I have chrome-beta/product_logo_16_beta.png instead

Looks like it needs to copy the google-chrome-dev PKGBUILD on line 47: install -Dm644 "$pkgdir"/opt/google/chrome-$channel/product_logo${i/x}_${pkgname/-}.png \

Yes, seems they added libEGL.so and libGLESv2.so on top of those in /opt/google/chrome-beta/swiftshader/.

Package size just jumped from 265mb to 345mb for me (using PKGEXT=.pkg.tar). From diffing the v60 and v61 tarballs it seems like the gl and widevine libs increased drastically in size, commonly doubling. Notably opt/google/chrome-beta/libEGL.so seems to be over 150 times its previous size. I don't see anything that needs to be addressed in the packaging, just putting this out there for anyone else wondering. Edit: seems like it's only a difference of 12mb compressed.

build 54.0.2840.16-2 has begun to segfault on me at seemingly random intervals. Sometimes it will go for 30 minutes and sometimes it only lasts 5. It doesn't look like there's a log it's leaving behind either, so I'm not even sure how to debug it or if it is even chrome or some other dependency. Anyone else having similar problems?

Brottweiler commented on 2016-09-09 14:08 (UTC)

Yep, it's fixed. thanks.

Det commented on 2016-09-09 13:05 (UTC)

Should be fixed in -2.

Brottweiler commented on 2016-09-09 12:43 (UTC)

I updated to 54.0.2840.16-1, and run Plank Dock. When starting chrome, it seems to be "disconnected" from the .desktop file, since it is not pinnable. Even if creating a custom launcher file, that only works as a launcher. If anyone else runs Plank, do you have this issue? This could very well be a Chrome bug, but if someone comes here to look for help, I just wanted to put this here.

Det commented on 2016-07-29 08:05 (UTC)

"beta: 53.0.2785.34 dropped a week ago" No, that's the Dev Channel. It was promoted to Beta just yesterday/today: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2016/07/beta-channel-update-for-desktop.html

brycec commented on 2016-02-10 06:47 (UTC)

@Det Oh, good point. I didn't even think to check both files... Sorry for my noise. Guess the PKGBUILD needs to have i686 removed from its `arch=` line then, eh?

Det commented on 2016-02-10 06:42 (UTC)

Thanks, but he probably means the 32-bit build, which apparently was dropped (as you would see in the upstream download section as well): http://linux.slashdot.org/story/15/12/01/1524259/google-to-drop-chrome-support-for-32-bit-linux

I ran md5sum google-chrome-beta_47.0.2526.69_amd64.deb to get the correct md5sum of 52a999c38b1f1622f9db4c6e280cd549. Opened the PKGBUILD and changed line 30 to read: md5sums_x86_64=('52a999c38b1f1622f9db4c6e280cd549') Went back to still open terminal running yaourt and typed Y to redo and it finished as it should.

schultzter commented on 2015-11-05 02:57 (UTC)

So it looks like the problem I'm having is a known issue over at the Chromium project. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=525751 The problem is some older CPU don't have the LAHF instruction.

schultzter commented on 2015-11-04 20:56 (UTC)

Unfortuately I'm still having the "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" issue with google-chrome-beta, but now it's happening with -stable too. I guess whatever changes Google made to -beta at the time have made their way into -stable now. Anyone have any tips to help me debug this? Or at least help focus on what the problem could be? I've tried running with the --debug flag but I don't get any more output; and I can't find the core file any where so I have no idea what's dumped. Thanks,

freijon commented on 2015-10-07 16:40 (UTC) (edited on 2015-10-07 16:40 (UTC) by freijon)

Please modify the following line in the PKGBUILD: - sed -i "/Exec=/i\StartupWMClass=Google-chrome-$_channel" "$pkgdir"/usr/share/applications/google-chrome-$_channel.desktop + sed -i "/Exec=/i\StartupWMClass=google-chrome-$_channel" "$pkgdir"/usr/share/applications/google-chrome-$_channel.desktop The upper case "G" causes plank to show double icons when Chrome is running

schultzter commented on 2015-09-25 01:12 (UTC)

Yeah, the gdb-chromium.txt file is empty. I've also tried upgrading to the latest version, same problem though. Name : google-chrome-beta Version : 46.0.2490.42-1 I guess I need to figure out how to use gdb...

Det commented on 2015-09-18 22:17 (UTC)

You don't have to reinstall the thing, it doesn't do anything at all. What you're doing with that command is just writing gdb-chromium.txt to the current directory. You could also try GDB or Strace, if gdb-chromium.txt is empty.

schultzter commented on 2015-09-18 22:07 (UTC)

I figured I might as well dance, so I completely deleted those two directories, then re-installed google-chrome-beta - same result. Then I tried this command to debug, google-chrome-beta --debug 2>&1 | tee gdb-chromium.txt (found on the Ubuntu forums, for Chromium), but nothing happens, Nothing at all!!!

Det commented on 2015-09-18 09:07 (UTC)

Ok, don't yell(?!) about the font, it's a virtual dependency, provided by any font package you have. It means you need some of them. Did you try with a clean profile or debugging the app? If you haven't replaced the dependencies with AUR versions that might not work, try renaming the folders ~/.config/google-chrome-beta and ~/.cache/google-chrome-beta.

schultzter commented on 2015-09-18 03:25 (UTC)

Also noticed this package depends on ttf-font, which doesn't seem to exist any more?!

schultzter commented on 2015-09-18 01:41 (UTC)

Am I the only one? I tried completely removing and re-installing. It happened with the 46.0.2490.22-1 version as well. I'm running stable now and it's working fine (so are Firefox, Chromium, and Vivaldi). Nothing in the forums.

The reason the checksum fails is because there is a new beta release.

It's sweet how you guys always assist each other what exact line in the PKGBUILD needs to be changed to have the MD5s match. You could also run: $ makepkg -si --skipinteg Or use: md5sums_x86_64=('SKIP')

For anyone else out there using Docky as a taskbar and having Google Chrome show up with the Google Keep icon rather than the correct icon: I fixed it by adding the following line to /usr/share/applications/google-chrome-beta.desktop : StartupWMClass=google-chrome-beta

kerberizer commented on 2014-04-18 12:05 (UTC)

@Det, thanks for taking the time to explain it. I haven't quite realized a few things and they are certainly good to know -- I'll keep them in mind.

Det commented on 2014-04-18 11:55 (UTC)

No, I didn't think you were being ungrateful, it's just the best way to make sure the maintainer gets notified. In case a package doesn't build (even with special instructions), you are allowed to flag it out-of-date, since that's still the only button we got: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18829 I usually, if I get a lot of comment notifications from many different packages, just delete all of them and take care of the packages that have been flagged anyway. So feel free to flag it, if it doesn't work. E: Don't think of it as lazy just because we've made it such a simple function.

kerberizer commented on 2014-04-18 11:35 (UTC)

@Det, if that comment was directed me: flagging a package out-of-date, especially when the package is in fact not outdated, is IMHO a rather non-descriptive and even confusing (not to mention lazy) way to notify the maintainer of some technical problem. My only desire was to be as helpful as possible, and I'm sorry if I might have offended or otherwise annoyed you somehow -- this certainly has not been my intention. In any case, many thanks indeed for maintaining these packages -- I know too well from my own experience how this can be a rather ungrateful task. ;)

Det commented on 2014-04-18 09:26 (UTC)

If there really was a problem with it, why couldn't you just _flag_ it out-of-date?

kerberizer commented on 2014-04-18 05:03 (UTC)

Oh, and of course the MD5 hash for x86_64 will also need to be updated.

kerberizer commented on 2014-04-18 04:56 (UTC)

@Det, could you please fix the tarball -- right now it erroneously contains a google-chrome-beta_35.0.1916.47_amd64.deb file, which is simply an HTML page with the Google's 404 error code. Hence why the package is broken, unless, of course, that file is removed manually. Thanks a lot!

bulletmark commented on 2014-04-18 04:25 (UTC)

If you really want it, the link https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-beta_current_amd64.deb is valid so fetch that and replace it: cd /tmp/yaourt-tmp-xxxx/aur-google-chrome-beta cp ~/Downloads/google-chrome-beta_current_amd64.deb google-chrome-beta_35.0.1916.47_amd64.deb makepkg -s --skipinteg sudo pacman -U google-chrome-beta-35.0.1916.47-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Det commented on 2014-04-17 23:56 (UTC)

That is 'google-chrome'. People keep adding the '-stable' suffix, even though such package doesn't exist.

brycec commented on 2014-04-17 22:32 (UTC)

Only Google could comment upon whether it will soon be fixed. If you wanted something more stable then you should run google-chrome-stable instead.

JesseObrien commented on 2014-04-17 20:53 (UTC)

Is there a fix for this coming? I'm getting a huge amount of crashes today and I can't upgrade.

It means there's a new version. We have the *flag* button for that. And it's much easier to just use "- - skipinteg" when updating on your own (might also wanna bump the pkgver).

Det commented on 2013-12-26 13:53 (UTC)

For those of you who have [testing] enabled: the new libgcrypt.so.20 (provided by: libgcrypt 1.6.0-1) is incompatible with _all_ versions of Chrome. In order to update to the latest libgcrypt you need to rebuild this package, which will now pull the libgcrypt.so.11.8 from [core] (libgcrypt 1.5.3-1) to the install location (/opt/google/chrome/). Alternatively you can just place the correct libgcrypt.so from the package to either /opt/google/chrome/ or /usr/lib/ and rename it as 'libgcrypt.so.11'.

kicka commented on 2013-12-19 15:20 (UTC)

Thanks CharlesAtum! Your suggestion worked!

commented on 2013-12-19 13:20 (UTC)

Looks like they moved the desktop file from the opt/google/chrome folder to the usr/share/applications folder. Commenting the following lines should allow compilation and, possibly, solve the problem: msg2 "Moving stuff in place" # Desktop mv "$pkgdir"/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome.desktop "$pkgdir"/usr/share/applications/

chrome://downloads/ is actually enough (or just placing the rpm in the build dir).

commented on 2013-06-01 16:08 (UTC)

As a workaround, you can go to the Chrome Beta install page, get it to give you a download, then visit chrome://cache and check what URL to use. For example, mine was: https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-beta_current_x86_64.rpm Just edit the PKGBUILD before installing and change the source to whatever you need. The md5sum should continue to match.

I've added the workaround to the pkgbuild. You can remove the simlink to keep the system cleaner.

Just updated google-chrome-beta after taking the update for systemd to replace udev, now google-chrome won't start. It gives the error /usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Just dropping in to say I'm getting a 404 on the 64 bit version too.

samueldr commented on 2012-04-14 04:48 (UTC)

If you want to find the new package URL for the rpm, you can always find it in the repository information at this URL: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz Here is a COMPLETELY UNCLEAN one-liner to get the latest package name: wget --quiet -O- http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386/repodata/primary.xml.gz \ | gunzip | tidy -qmi -xml \ | grep 'location href="google-chrome-beta-.*rpm' \ | cut -d'"' -f2 Yes, parsing xml with a regex is asking for trouble. This *should not* go in the PKGBUILD. I only pasted this monstrosity here to have a quickfix for when google updates their repo.

Det commented on 2012-04-06 16:51 (UTC)

Google doesn't move the link anywhere. They just remove the old version when uploading the new one. The link you provided is the general one. It's linked to the latest (and only) version.

Google moved the dl link to http://dl.google.com/dl/linux/direct/google-chrome-beta_current_x86_64.rpm; however, I don't know where they keep the md5 sums.

I got "install: cannot stat `/tmp/packerbuild-1000/google-chrome-beta/google-chrome-beta/src/usr/share/man/man1/google-chrome.1': No such file or directory" - changing the .1 to .1.gz in the PKGBUILD fixed it for me.

Important for all KDE-Users: Chrome uses from version 16 on the default KDE-dialogues. Therefore the packages kdebase-kdialog has to be installed. Otherwise Chrome won't show any dialog-box under KDE.

Nice! Installed right beside Chromium and works great. Had to manually install the libpng12 dependency...well from AUR, but that went well also. Thanks!

this line: "ar -xv google-chrome-${_channel}_current_${_arch}.deb" extracts the deb for rpm you need rpmextract then you have to install the extracted files to the proper position into pkgdir

Arch Linux AUR Noob Question: How do you use a non tarballed and gzipped source from another package manager (like debian or rpm) so that you can extract the source and build a package with makepkg?

Oh, I thank you for the answer.

t3ddy commented on 2011-05-23 19:26 (UTC)

The original .deb file has gconf as dependency, you could try remove it and see what happens

commented on 2011-03-26 01:16 (UTC)

When pciutils now in testing enters core the libpci dependency should be dropped: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38263

dhaines commented on 2011-01-11 21:25 (UTC)

That sounds absolutely correct. Thanks!

t3ddy commented on 2011-01-11 21:23 (UTC)

As I said before, in then next release I'll remove the grep in the "if", since I know there are files that contain that string. Checking if there are files that contain that string, when I know that there are, is unecessary in my opinion. Are you in accord with me (despite of my english :))?

dhaines commented on 2011-01-11 21:13 (UTC)

I think I figured out the problem. I'm referring to the grep in the "if" section, and you're referring to the one in the "then" section. Keep the one in the "then" section as-is, without the "-q" (or pass "-s" if you want to suppress error messages). The one in the "if" part is only there to make sure that "/google/chrome" appears somewhere in the directory before you run sed, so you only need it to return the right code (0). In sum, it should be: if grep -Rlq "/google/chrome" * > /dev/null 2>&1 then sed -i "s/google\/chrome/google-chrome/g" $(grep -Rls "/google/chrome" *) fi

t3ddy commented on 2011-01-11 21:05 (UTC)

With -s I get exit code 2, but it gives me the files I'm looking for. With -q I get exit code 0, but it doesn't give me the files I'm looking for.

dhaines commented on 2011-01-11 20:39 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that it should be either "-q" or "-qs" as "-s" doesn't change the exit status of the command, and thus wouldn't change the operation of the conditional. As an example: "echo string > realfile; ln -s fakefile brokenlink; grep -s string realfile brokenlink && echo success" prints realfile:string, but "echo string > realfile; ln -s fakefile brokenlink; grep -q string realfile brokenlink && echo success" prints (to stderr) grep: brokenlink: No such file or directory and (to stdout) success. If you combine the two, you skip the error message and you get the right exit status.

t3ddy commented on 2011-01-11 20:27 (UTC)

Ah, ok. Thanks for the explaination! :) After some proof, the right flag should be -s, because -q neither tells the files.

dhaines commented on 2011-01-11 19:49 (UTC)

Because if there's a symlink to a nonexistent file in there, grep throws an error when it tries to read it. Skipping the conditional should work just fine.

t3ddy commented on 2011-01-11 19:44 (UTC)

mmm... I don't understand quite well. With grep I'm searching in pkgdir, why should it be important if chrome has been already installed or not? Anyway, I was planning to keep only this part: sed -i "s/google\/chrome/google-chrome/g" $(grep -Rl "/google/chrome" *) and removing the "if-fi", since there's no reason to check if there are those kind of occurences, because they're present and I know that. What do you think?

dhaines commented on 2011-01-11 19:06 (UTC)

The pkgbuild *almost* corrects this. Here's the skinny: the installation makes symlinks inside the pkgdir to things outside of it. It then runs a test with grep to fix the issue I raised. If the things outside the pkgdir don't exist, i.e. google-chrome isn't already installed as of the time that it's being built, the grep returns a non-zero exit and the sed thereafter doesn't execute. You can fix this by running the grep with a "-q" which will return success on the first hit and will otherwise ignore errors. The sed is fine as is.

t3ddy commented on 2011-01-11 17:50 (UTC)

I don't want to say something stupid, but the pkgbuild corrects this. So, could it be a problem of cache? I don't know :/

dhaines commented on 2011-01-11 17:19 (UTC)

I installed this (via aurget) and /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop points to /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome, while the actual executable (script) is at /opt/google-chrome/google-chrome. Thus, the Applications menu item no longer works.

Det commented on 2010-09-08 19:02 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very dearly then but it doesn't touch the fact that a PKGBUILD shouldn't have both 'contributor' and 'maintainer' lines when defining the same user. Also is there a specific reason you didn't change/update the pkgver to '6.0.472.55' on the same go you came here to answer my comment?

commented on 2010-09-08 16:23 (UTC)

all chrome pkgbuilds has been completely rewritten by me.

Det commented on 2010-09-08 15:56 (UTC)

Why did you add yourself as both a maintainer and a contributor to the beginning of the PKGBUILD? The maintainer line is meant for whoever is the current maintainer and no matter how many times (s)he has been adopting/disowning the package you still get only one entry. The contributor lines are for previous maintainers - one for each one them, too. Additionally there should be a "Based on [a-package-name]" line if you started out with somebody else's work.

Eothred commented on 2010-09-03 07:23 (UTC)

Nice package, two comments: 1. Shouldn't the .deb file be in the source array? 2. Shouldn't you include the EULA in /usr/share/doc/ ? The eula can be found at this link: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_text.html I'd consider a source array which looks something like this, instead of using wget (move it just before build()): source=('args.patch' "EULA.html::http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_text.html" "google-chrome-${_chanswitch}-${pkgver}-${ARCH}.deb::http://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-${_chanswitch}_current_$ARCH.deb" )

I am not the mantainer, but on my installation I have got icons also under /opt/google/chrome.

caspian commented on 2010-05-10 06:53 (UTC)

One question for the maintainer: I want to change the default chrome icon with the one from my icon theme. In kde menu the right icon is shown, but in the task manager the default chrome icon is shown. I've replaced all the icons that came with the package (the ones in /usr/share/icons and /usr/share/icons/hicolor), but this didn't solve the problem. Do you know how to solve this, or are there some more icons that come with the package (although I doubt this)?

commented on 2010-05-06 05:02 (UTC)

This package is really hard to be out of date since it just fetches "google-chrome-beta_current_amd64.deb" from google.com ... however the version it fetches is newer than what the package name reflects. Currently as of now this package installs "5.0.375.29 beta" according to the about dialog inside chrome.

commented on 2010-04-25 22:03 (UTC)

At first opening downloaded files (e.g. by clicking the file on the download bar) from Chrome didn't worked, i later discovered it is caused by missing "xdg-open" tool. Solved by installing package "xdg-utils". Should it be added to dependencies?

commented on 2010-04-01 06:56 (UTC)

SSL isn't so happy right now because of this http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=37722 Workaround would be to go to Options>Under the Hood and tick Use SSL 2.0 - but do so at your own risk as 2.0 has some security problems associated. A fix for this is in the beta channel now so once this package updates this shouldn't happen anymore.

AapoAlas commented on 2010-03-26 05:23 (UTC)
