When reporting this package as outdated make sure there is indeed a new version for Linux Desktop. You can have a look at the "Stable updates" tag in Release blog for this.

You can also run this command to obtain the version string for the latest chrome version:

$ curl -sSf https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages | \
     grep -A1 "Package: google-chrome-stable" | \
     awk '/Version/{print $2}' | \
     cut -d '-' -f1

Do not report updates for ChromeOS, Android or other platforms stable versions as updates here.

As of v89, pipewire is used instead of libpipewire02.

@ablecounter: fakeroot is part of base-devel.

From the Wiki:

Note: The group base-devel is assumed to be already installed when building with makepkg. Members of this group should not be included in makedepends array.

This seems to need fakeroot, so it sort of seems like that should be a dependency, unless I'm missing something obvious, which happens.

@revengel this worked for me $ pkill picom

akhil commented on 2021-03-30 04:26 (UTC)

@revengel same issue here. I posted it in forums also but no response. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263702

@GeneralPoxter does that happen with extra/chromium (Built for Arch, not Debian/Ubuntu)?

E: Oh nvm, you said it's not a Chromium issue. Chrome (.deb, .rpm, whatever) is built for that one distro-set, so there's always gonna be some lib-mismatch issues due to their own versionings and distro-specific patches.

E2: Like even tho I loved maintaining this, I wouldn't bother with it for daily use.

Every now and then, google chrome would appear to timeout on reboot/shutdown:

Mar 26 22:07:35 poxter systemd[401]: app-gnome-google\x2dchrome-1873.scope: Stopping timed out. Killing.
Mar 26 22:07:35 poxter systemd[401]: app-gnome-google\x2dchrome-1873.scope: Killing process 1873 (chrome) with signal SIGKILL.
Mar 26 22:07:35 poxter systemd[401]: app-gnome-google\x2dchrome-1873.scope: Killing process 2192 (ThreadPoolSingl) with signal SIGKILL.
Mar 26 22:07:35 poxter systemd[401]: app-gnome-google\x2dchrome-1873.scope: Killing process 1903 (CrShutdownDetec) with signal SIGKILL.
Mar 26 22:07:35 poxter systemd[401]: app-gnome-google\x2dchrome-1873.scope: Killing process 1918 (ThreadPoolForeg) with signal SIGKILL.
Mar 26 22:07:35 poxter systemd[401]: app-gnome-google\x2dchrome-1873.scope: Failed with result 'timeout'.

Edit: I was able to reproduce this multiple times by simply rebooting, starting google chrome, and then rebooting again.

Edit 2: It appears to be good practice for the user to manually have to kill a browser before rebooting: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234280 . I've decided to turn off the "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" setting and will update if the problem persists.

Edit 3: It seems that even with background processes turned off, systemd timeouts still occur occasionally. I never encountered this issue in my year-long usage of chromium before I switched to chrome, so I'm not sure what's going on.

@FabioLolix if you want to say something about this package do not use the "mark as obsolete" option. Use the comments, that's what they are there for. On top of that, your comment is not very relevant: "[i]gtk3-print-backends no longer exist and can be removed from optdepends[/i]".

marcosfrm commented on 2021-02-14 19:47 (UTC)

/usr/share/menu is as far as I know also obsolete on Debian. Please drop it.
