    Did you miss the command give winetricks execute permission?
    chmod +x winetricks

    Hi Tom.

    I get this error:

    $ wine chrome_installer.exe
    err:module:import_dll Library NDIS.SYS (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\npf.sys") not found
    err:winedevice:ServiceMain driver L"NPF" failed to load

    When I try to execute Chrome.

    Hi Tom

    Thanks for this but I think I went awry when I replaced -

    wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/$USER/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe --new-http --in-process-plugins

    in place of the chrome icon launcher command.

    Feeling that I shouldn't have done that. So 2 questions - What did I delete in the launcher command and what should I have done?

    Thanks for any newbie guidance. - Steve

    Is it possible to change the shortcut to run with those tags instead of running that command every time?

    I get this error when I try to get those fonts:

    Just a matter of not connecting to the Sourceforge servers. They're installed now. Looks good, save for this small blue rectangle in the lower left corner of the browser thats persistent no matter which site I go to. Anyone else have this problem?
  • Slippy Lane · 1 year ago
    Hey Tom. Followed all the instructions as per. Chrome installer worked fine, didn't throw up any errors. Everything else worked except for the final command. Cannot find chrome.exe at the location specified. mlocate couldn't find it either, and now running the chrome installer again yields no response at all. Any clues?
  • Slippy Lane · 1 year ago
    ...additional... I did this with wine 1.1.4 installed, so the problem may lie in that direction.

    Steve & Anonymous:
    Working with launchers can be tricky. Change the launcher command to this to start Chrome with the required options (replace tom with your username):
    wine "C:\windows\profiles\tom\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-http --in-process-plugins

    Slippy Lane:
    I just tried the whole process in a virtual machine with 1.1.4, and it installed fine. Does the installer display the start Google Chrome dialog? Maybe it's not completely installing.

    I tried this, but the wine chrome_installer.exe command doesn't seem to work. It just executes, but I don't see any install dialog, and there is no 'Start Google Chrome' to click.

    Same as eamonireland!

    When I execute
    wine chrome_installer.exe
    nothing happens for 10-15 seconds and then I get my prompt back.

    chrome.exe is not to be found nor is there an icon on the desktop.

    This is with a new update to hardy (8.04)

    Get skins and install them:

    http://www.freechromethemes.com/Download-Black-...

    Download and unzip the file. (default.dll)
    Replace the file in the following wind directory:
    /home/USER(Your user folder)/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/choc/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Chrome/Application/0.2.149.29/Themes
  • choc · 1 year ago

    /home/USER(Your user folder)/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/USER(Your user folder)/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Chrome/Application/0.2.149.29/Themes

    I Upgraded wine to 1.1.4, Chrome crashes upon opening
  • Andrey Kostenko · 1 year ago
    eschamp: I had the same bug. It started to work only after "rm -rf ~/.wine" :-(
  • Michael · 1 year ago
    Here worked fine but the fonts still looking awful. I installed the tahoma font and nothing changed...Why?
  • dakira · 1 year ago
    Guys, don't bother. If you want to try Chrome, try a Chromium Nightly in Win to "get a feel" for it. Otherwise wait for the Linux version.
    Or even better, don't wait for it at all. The new Javascript-Engine in Firefox 3.1 puts Firefox ahead again. Also (as many others) I used Wireshark to check what Chrome is doing and the results were not really nice.
    If you deactivate all phone-home options except for search suggestions Chrome sends the unique browser id with every search/url typed in. If you change the search-provider Chrome sends the URL to that other provider BUT additionally sends an empty HTTP-header with your id plus some encrypted TCP-packets to Google. If you deactivate suggestions completely, Chrome STILL sends the id plus the encrypted TCP packets to Google. Only if you activate this incognito-mode nothing goes to the Google-servers. This is just bad.

    there are so many advantages and features with Chrome, such as it's speed, for example; now if only they would take care it's flighty cookie management...

    I installed Chrome on Ubuntu with this easy and clear guide -

    Hope it will work for you as well as it did for me.

    Have a good one.

    FYI, as of Dec 28th, the DL link is:
    http://dl.google.com/chrome/install/154.18/chro...

    However, it's complete garbage. =(

    Here's hoping the google guys stop being evil to the linux world.
