@kirk, no they not required if they optional.
Not sure what u mean? KDE has KDE stuff, GNOME has GNOME stuff.

@kirk, no they not required if they optional.
Not sure what u mean? KDE has KDE stuff, GNOME has GNOME stuff.
Can someone clarify why the following optional dependencies are are required, especially taken into account that not all users are using the same window managers or environments?
optdepends=('kdialog: for file dialogs in KDE' 'gnome-keyring: for storing passwords in GNOME keyring' 'kwallet: for storing passwords in KWallet' 'gtk3-print-backends: for printing' 'libunity: for download progress on KDE' 'ttf-liberation: fix fonts for some PDFs (CRBug #369991)' 'xdg-utils')
Lot's of kde stuff here and keyring software, are those even necessary at all?
@rsevero the message you've posted looks to me like a broken package file… Just try to build the package again. (If you're using makepkg just delete the tar.xz
file and rebuild)
Having trouble updating to version 78.0.3904.108-1. After tons of warnings I get the following error:
(1/1) reinstalling google-chrome [########################################################] 100% error: could not extract /opt/google/chrome/chrome (Lzma library error: No progress is possible) error: problem occurred while upgrading google-chrome ==> NOTE: Custom flags should be put directly in: ~/.config/chrome-flags.conf ==> NOTE: The launcher is called: 'google-chrome-stable' error: could not commit transaction error: failed to commit transaction (transaction aborted) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
And the worse is that now I have no Chrome at all as apparently the previous version was uninstalled.
Any ideas on how to get Chrome back?
I have managed to resolve the issue with version 78 by deleting the contents of ~/.config/google-chrome and restarting. It appears to be a chrome bug and not specific to Arch.
@quite hmm I'm not sure this should be done. In the end the packages requiring chromium
are expecting to find a Chromium browser while this package contains a Chrome browser. It doesn't listen on the same binary (and to prevent collisions it shouldn't do so) and it behaves differently… So I think I'll refrain from adding this as basically Chrome is not Chromium…
@luzifer, would you consider provides=('chromium')
? Or is that mad? It would help pkgs that work with any chromium-based browser.
I tried to update from v72 to v78, but I got the following error message:
error: could not extract /opt/google/chrome/nacl_helper (Lzma library error: No progress is possible) error: problem occurred while installing google-chrome
The update to chrome 78 has also broken it for me. Running chrome starts a number of chrome processes, but no window appears and it hangs. Neither --disable-gpu, nor --disable-software-rasterizer worked.
As NeonCloud noted, sudo google-chrome-stable --no-sandbox allows Chrome to load and display, but it's far from ideal.
Unfortunately, I am unable to downgrade to version 77 as only 78 is available to download from Google. I have installed Chromium, which at the time of install was version 77, and I am able to use that for now.
@NeonCLoud, did you try clean profile or Chromium that's actually built for Arch?

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