Portal 7.02 SP6 on Google Chrome throws error.

Portal 7.02 SP6 on Google Chrome throws error:
Could not open iView. The iView is not compatible with your browser, operating system, or device. Contact your system administrator for more information.
Is there a fix for this issue. Please advise. Thanks.

To (freely) quote an SAP executive that I asked about browser support:
"what kind of browsers should SAP support? It does not make sense to support non-enterprise ready browsers".
I interpret that as: when you spent some serious $$$ for the SAP Portal you should get your infrastructure in line with the corporates ERP vendor strategy == buy Microsoft, use IE 6, 7 or 8
At least FF support is speeding up, even when it's impossible for SAP to keep up with the release cycles of Mozilla (when SAP releases a SPS Mozilla already released 2 new FF versions).
This sorts out effectively Google and Opera (what is Statoil using?) and a bunch of mobile browers (all). Why Safari is considered more enterprise ready than Chrome? My 2ct: Apple is an SAP customer and they paid for getting support.
Guess we'll have to wait for Google start using SAP and the Portal.

  • Trying to get google-chrome to run with webgl under bumblebee

    I have bumblebee working correctly, with both 32-bit and 64-bit applications (as far as I can tell simple proof below):

    I am trying to use it to run webgl on google-chrome (and thus run google-chrome with nvidia)
    When I try to run google-chrome with optirun I get:
    ➜ ~ optirun google-chrome-stable
    ERROR: ld.so: object 'libdlfaker.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
    ERROR: ld.so: object 'librrfaker.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
    Created new window in existing browser session.
    and even with checking that the flags are set correctly in google chrome (in chrome://flags disable-webgl is disabled and Override software rendering list, or #ignore-gpu-blacklist is enabled) this doesn't work.
    Now reading on the wiki page it directs me to a note in the installation section (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bu … stallation) that reminds me to install a package which I have installed (and I assume that if that were the problem glxspheres32 would give the same error?) and so I don't know how to debug this.
    Any suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated
    If it's helpful here is a pastebin of the output for journalctl -f (http://pastebin.com/6RgaJcuu) and here's some info I think might be helpful/relevant:

    I used the following the last time (months ago) I tried running it with optirun:

    Note: I am using Chrome-Dev from the AUR, but I don't know that it matters.

  • Google chrome : client certificate install fails

    when i try ti install client certificate on google chrome, the error says : The server returned invalid client certificate.
    This is happening in Google chrome under the certsrv site to install the issued certificate. Does chrome support client certificates?

    Question: 
    What does Error
    207 (net::ERR_CERT_INVALID) mean when I try to collect my certificate (CodeSigning or Email)?
    Answer: 
    This means that you have tried to obtain your certificate using the Google Chrome browser. At this present time Google Chrome does
    not support chained certificate enrollment and you can not use another browser to collect this certificate because the private key was generated with Chrome and you must start the process from the beginning again using another browser such as Mozilla Firefox
    or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

  • Google searches throw Javascript error "Debug Error: Exception...."

    I went away for a week. Everything fine. Since I got back (May 6 2010) when I click on any Google search result a pop-up box appears (sometimes when the search results page first appears before clicking anything) with this message:
    "Debug Error:Exception... "Node was not found" code: "8" nsresult: "0x80530008 (NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_FOUND_ERR)" location: "chrome://ffamazonhot/content/lib/Extension.debug.js Line: 366""
    Continual clicking (100+ clicks!) of the OK button eventually clears the dialogue but any subsequent search starts the whole process again. I also not that the style of the Google results p[age has changed.
    I have to use a different browser for Google searches. IE7-OK Opera 9.64 - OK Chrome - OK (naturally)
    I have cleared Cache, History, Cookies etc. I have tried reinstalling FF. I have disabled JavaScript in he browser. All no good.
    I notice in the forums that others are having this problem in the same time range - i.e it has just started happening. I have tired contacting Google with the usual lack of success!

  • Can't Upload Large Files (Upload Fails using Internet Explorer but works with Google Chrome)

    I've been experience an issue uploading large (75MB & greater) PDF files to a SharePoint 2010 document library. Using normal upload procedures using Internet Explorer 7 (our company standard for the time being) the upload fails. No error message is thrown,
    the upload screen goes away and the page refreshes and the document isn't there. I tried upload multiple and it says throws a failed error after a while.
    Using google chrome I made an attempt just to see what it did and the file using the "Add a document" uploaded in seconds. Can't figure out why one browser worked and the other doesn't. We are getting sporadic inquiries with the same issue.
    We have previously setup large file support in the appropriate areas and large files are uploaded to the sites successfully. Any thoughts?

    File size upload has to be configured on the server farm level. Your administrator most likely set
    up the limit to size of files that can be uploaded. This size can be increased and you would then be able to upload your documents.

  • Possible legal case issue with google chrome pepper flash player.

    Ok so i have been on the phone to adobe for about an hour and this is the result.
    As far as adobe are concerned their flash player works fine which it does.
    However the google chrome Pepper flash player is obviously broken.
    Now adobe say this has nothing to do with them their flash player is fine and googles version of adobe flash player has nothing to do with ADOBE either.
    So why when you go into chrome plugin settings it says ADOBE flash player.
    It doesn't say Google Flash player.
    It says ADOBE Flash player.
    So it seem to me that either google have stolen the Adobe flash player then made their own and broke it. OR Adobe let them make their own version and is fully aware of the issue but doesn't care?
    How can Adobe ignore this issue for so long is disgraceful.
    Adobe should be in contact with google saying what have you done to OUR Flash player.
    Please the CEO of adobe should sort this out OR at least provide evidence that google hasn't stole Adobe flash player and broke it.
    This situation is completely unacceptable and i belive a legal case should be opened if Adobe has NOT given permission for google to use and implement a version of ADOBE's Flash player.

    your not going to like this, but i would of said the exact same thing myself, im a flash developer, i use chrome as my main browser with pepper running for general use. and from day to day im looking at javascript websites with simple little flash video players and adverts with spinning bitmaps, with no issues apart from the usual crashes when running flash videos, followed by that "oh snap" error message, which im sure the 18 year olds developing chrome find very ammusing. And of course when im developing flash applications im using the debugger version of the flash player in all my browsers like you should do, then i come to test my app on a pepper enabled instance of chrome one day and oh look at that nothing works. maybe if your running some basic timeline animation of a spinning dollar sign or a youtube video with some kids jumping off a roof it works, but a hell of alot is broken, loaders, loading fonts, uploading files, reloading cached files, and a plethora of things iv read in forums that i cant even get to try because i cant get anything to load consistently or find a debugger version of the pepper player to do a getStackTrace. i tried emptying all the caches and data from hosted apps, i tried deleting preference folders, tried recreating flash projects in flash builder from scratch, tried different versions of windows, tried testing it in the chrome beta, but that's even worse because instead of posting an error message it just hangs on a black screen in my app. none of this happens in any other version of the flash player i have tested so far, im tracking all errors that users of my app run into by logging them to a database and all of them are specific to pepper, and reproducable. In chromes bug reporting section there's a long list of these kinds of issues, its been like this for months, peoples businesses are being ruined by this stupid tiny little .dll file and the only solution anyone has found, other than the odd hack that fixes some bugs like setting video resolution to 479 instead of 480 to make a video stream play because google didnt bother to test anything other then the most basic default functions... Is to just throw a warning message to people with pepper player to go into their chrome plugins page, press a tiny little button in the corner to show some complicated dll file information, press another tiny disable button under the not very well marked pepflashplayer.dll, and then select always allow at the bottom so you don't have to deal with chrome blocking any working flash player other than pepper from running because its out of date. which in the end probably takes longer than installing the real flash player in the first place, there is literally no need for this damn dll file to even exist and for some mind blowing reason it has the exact same version number as every other flash player i have tried, which all work flawlessly. and also then obviously most people ignore the warning messages, continue to use your app wonder why its crashing, get frustrated and leave... So my only alternative so far is to totally block anyone using pepper player from even being able to load my app and tell them to do all of the above or use Internet explorer which seems to actually have a working built in flash player. so that instantly cuts out, as ofFebruary 2013, 50.0 % of Internet users unless they boot up internet explorer then manually navigate back to my webpage. which can make a huge dent to the amount of people who actually bother to even try your app.
    Now you may be saying to yourself "well he sounds a bit miffed about this pepper player that for me seems to work fine". maybe there's some kind of hack way to get swfs running in pepper that only some of you in the know, know about, google doesn't have any answers, when i rang adobe they were utterly clueless, when i rang google there wasn't even a human being to talk to from that faceless corporate monstrosity. and iv got 4 years worth of development time riding on this damn flash app which, unless adobe pull the plug on pepper, or google learn how to bundle other peoples software. is totally useless just as im trying to deploy it, and im going to have to copy and paste the whole lot into some .js files and try to reverse engineer it all into javascript which means gutting all the stuff that you can only do in flash, which is about half of it. now obviously you start asking questions like, how could it be possible that a version of flash this flea-ridden was ever allowed to be let out into the jungle when sooooo much is at risk for certain types of businesses that rely on this technology. you could literally put people out of a job by doing this, the man on the phone from adobe says well its not our problem its googles version and they are in charge of it, well if that's the case you better pull the licensing quick fast because it makes adobe look bad and the the flash brand look even worse. normal chrome users who arn't even trying to peddle their wares made in flash are even complaining that its "poisoning" their beloved chromium, and the most they have to suffer with is a buggy experience in a flash game but those of us with serious time and work invested into flash and businesses based on it are utterly fuming.
    Now, either you think this is all nonsense, you see no evidence, i must be doing something wrong, and all these cases im reading are just my imagination. Or you are fully aware of this situation and you are just saying the thing devs including myself always have to say to our users when we don't have a good answer or time to worry about it "Everything works great on my system, just submit a bug report". or you are so disconnected that you simply don't know about it yet and this is just a total waste of my time and anybody worth talking to his hidden deep in the bowels of adobe barred from communicating with the outside world.
    What i want to hear is that indeed you are fully aware of and informed about these issues, and within 1 month the pepper player will be removed from chrome and users will be allowed to use the official flash player from adobe which will remain stable and fully functional.

  • My automatic adobe flash player installer tried to install google chrome and did not allow opt out

    my automatic Adobe Flash Player updated tried to install Google Chrome without giving me the opporltunity to opt out?

    I witnessed this myself two nights ago while testing an upgrade in Windows 7.
    It HAS been reported to development, but... like 99% of the people here, we (myself and the MVP user who reported it) are just Adobe users like you, so reporting it with screenshots was the best we can do.
    I use Chrome myself, but only for testing webpages I build, and I've never used their toolbar, because it's an open portal for malware... hence the report filed with DEV.
    All we can do now is cross our fingers and hope they have it worked out by the next update cycle.

  • After upgrade to Mavericks 10.9.1 upgrade Google Chrome w/ Evernote extension cripples chrome

    I just upgrade to 10.9.1 and now my Google Chrome browser is throwing frequent beachballs of death that sometimes tie up the browser for minutes at a time, and overall has cause the browser to become extremely unresponsive and slow.
    For me, disabling the Evernote extension in the browser made the issues go away. I can't say for sure if the OS upgrade cause the problem or not. It's possible that it's purely coincidental but documenting the issue here in case anyone else encounters the same behavior.

    Actually, the Evernote extension thing was just a coincidence.
    It seems the real culprit is the firewire mixer connected to the laptop. After a reboot, I often have to shut the mixer off and then turn it back on before things start working properly.
    Chrome is not the only software affected either. So far, I've discovered iTunes and Safari are also basically crippled after a reboot until I turn the mixer off.
    Something is wrong with Maverick's implementation of FireWire, I'm afraid. I've written about cracking and popping noises I get from QuickTime when playing audio over FireWire.
    Something just ain't right.

  • Watching certain video is slow and pauses on Google Chrome Browser

    Hello, I was hoping someone could help me out with this.
    I watch a fair amount of videos on www.cnet.com and I use Google Chrome as my main web browser.  I have a 13" MBA purchased in Jan 2011 running OS X 10.6.8
    Whenever I watch the videos, the audio plays without a problem but the video will lag/stutter making it impossible to watch without wanting to throw something at my MBA.  When I try the videos on Safari there is on video lag/stutter at all.  It is not the internet connection either as you can see the video loading fine and as I said, Safari does not behave in the same way.  I know I can switch to using Safari as my default browser but I really enjoy Chrome's features and would like to keep using it.  If anyone has any ideas what the problem might be I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance.

  • IMac running 10.7.3 stuck on rainbow wheel right after desktop launches and google chrome trying to restore a previous browsing session

    Hello All - thanks in advance for your help with this.
    The problem I'm encountering is on an iMac 24" from 2008, Intel Core 2Duo 1.3 GHz processor.  I'm running 10.7.3 but have yet to install the client combo update.
    My computer would not wake from sleep this morning after having been left on all night.  The last two apps I had been running last night before this morning's freeze up were Google Chrome and iTunes.  I restarted the computer and noticed at the login screen that one of the login accounts that is normally set up for use had disappeared.  Once I logged in to my account, which had not disappeared, and arrived at the desktop, Chrome automatically tried to relaunch and restore the previous session with a note indicating that the browser had not been quit properly.
    iTunes was running as well but had no functionality - non responsive to mouse click commands, etc.  About thirty seconds later the rainbow wheel appeared and began spinning.
    Tried force quitting both applications applications respectively but the finder was non-responsive as well.  The dock would pop up when moused over but I was not permitted to select any of the icons.  Restarted the computer and essentially the same thing occurred but I was able to quit out of iTunes this time before the rainbow wheel started.
    Tried restarting with all peripheral hardware disconnected.  No change.  Tried booting up in safe mode - didn't work.  Rebooted in disk utility mode - ran disk verification and was told all was well.  Ran permissions verifications and was told there were problems.  Repaired the permissions issues successfully.  Rebooted again but same issue with desktop/apps freezing up.  Rebooted into Disk Utility mode and tried a reinstall of lion - reinstall successul but upon normal reboot desktop still frozen once I launched Chrome and attempted to get to apple site to download the 10.7.3 patch.
    Tried rebooting in disk utility mode to restore from a time machine back up - the external hard drive where my back ups are stored did not appear as a restore source even though I had reconnected the USB cable. 
    I then rebooted again into disk utility mode and tried to use safari to navigate to the apple site and download the 10.7.3 client combo update.  No dice - received error messages saying the download could not be completed because there was insufficient memory available.
    Called Apple - rep said I should take the computer in to the store - refused as of the time of the call because I had already wasted half the day on this and didn't want to flush the remainder down the toilet hanging around at the Apple store.  So much for that - the day is now totally wasted any way.
    Another couple of bits of information which may or may not be helpful:
    When I'm in disk utility mode the disk image icon at the top of the list of disk images/mounts on the left hand side of the utility window is in red text: 320.07 GB WDC WD320...and the main dialogue box says: "This drive has a hardware problem that can't be repaired.  Back up Data and see Apple dealer for help." One might conclude that my computer is therefore dead...not exactly.  This happened once before after trying to set up a bootcamp partition using XP instead of windows 7.  XP is not supported by Lion but I was trying a work around.  Soon thereafter I upgraded my OS to 10.7.2 (or.3 can't remember) using software updater instead of a full native download from the Apple Support site and the computer went bananas.  After the upgrade I was getting the CUI ???? errors which have since become infamous.  While working with Apple phone support on the CUI issue and using disk utility on that issue, that same red text disc image came up and the note about my hardware having failed as described above.  Apple told me I was cooked and my machine was finished.  They were wrong.  I can't remember what I did but I worked on the problem a bit more and was eventually able to upgrade my OS from the native download and get my machine back in order and runnign fine.
    I recently attempted the bootcamp partition (stupidly) work around for XP again without success - last week before all of the latest drama set in.  YES I have learned my lession and will not attempt this again.
    So that's what's going on - sorry for the Moby Dick lenght description but I figured the more details available the more likely some one is to know how to fix the problem.
    Any thoughts, suggestions, HELP please!!!
    Thanks.

    Hello All - thanks in advance for your help with this.
    The problem I'm encountering is on an iMac 24" from 2008, Intel Core 2Duo 1.3 GHz processor.  I'm running 10.7.3 but have yet to install the client combo update.
    My computer would not wake from sleep this morning after having been left on all night.  The last two apps I had been running last night before this morning's freeze up were Google Chrome and iTunes.  I restarted the computer and noticed at the login screen that one of the login accounts that is normally set up for use had disappeared.  Once I logged in to my account, which had not disappeared, and arrived at the desktop, Chrome automatically tried to relaunch and restore the previous session with a note indicating that the browser had not been quit properly.
    iTunes was running as well but had no functionality - non responsive to mouse click commands, etc.  About thirty seconds later the rainbow wheel appeared and began spinning.
    Tried force quitting both applications applications respectively but the finder was non-responsive as well.  The dock would pop up when moused over but I was not permitted to select any of the icons.  Restarted the computer and essentially the same thing occurred but I was able to quit out of iTunes this time before the rainbow wheel started.
