[Request] Google Desktop

Please could someone make a PKGBUILD for this.
I have tried going the way of installing RPM, but build fails, and I rather have a proper PKG of this and give it a spin.

Thanks in advanced!

  • How do i get rid of google desktop?

    My macbook pro has been freezing intermittently since installing 10.6 I've opened the console to see if I could see any problems and I am getting this message, over and over again :

    This pops up every few seconds. I don't have google desktop installed, but did long ago.
    Can anyone shed any light on this for me.
    Many thanks in advance.

    this suggests that you did not uninstall google desktop correctly. it comes with an uninstaller and that's what you should have used. I'm guessing you simply trashed the app which is not enough if an application was installed using an installer. since google desktop is not snow leopard compatible you can not use the uninstaller now.
    do a finder search for com.google.desktop and delete everything you find. then restart the computer. make sure you include system files in the search. they are excluded by default. to include them enter command+f in finder to start a search. then click on "kind", hold the mouse button, scroll and click on "other". in the resulting popup select "system files" and include them in the search.

  • Google desktop and Picasa open Internet Explorer even though Firefox is my default browser

    I am using Firefox 6, and no matter what I do clicking on Google Desktop opens Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. I have set Firefox as the default browser in at least 3 places: In Firefox itself; on the Internet Options section of the Control Panel; In the add/remove programs Set Default Programs screen. This is all in Windows XP professional. The same problem happens with Picasa online albums (when I go from my computer's Picasa to Web Albums). I don't know when this started, but now I cannot get my Web timeline. I have uninstalled Google Desktop.

    Hello nanemy1854, set also firefox as default browser in Add or Remove Programs list in win xp, see for more information : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/setting-firefox-default-browser-does-not-work#w_windows-xp Firefox as default browser in win xp].
    thank you

  • 10.5.2 & Google Desktop??

    Is it just me or has google desktop suddenly appeared in applications (and in 'other' settings in system preferences) when installing 10.5.2?
    Maybe I installed it without realising! LOL
    Tom.

    Welcome to the discussions, JMA.
    There is an application in the Utilities folder of the main Applications called Console. It allows you to inspect the various logs that are produced by applications. You can select lines of text in its display pane for copying. I think the startup default will show the appropriate log, but you can get a list of the logs by clicking the show log list button. Look in All Messages or Console Messages. AB is an abbreviation for Address Book.

  • What happened to google-desktop?

    Some days ago there has been a google-desktop search package in AUR. I have got some aur comment notifications and afterwards the package disappeared. Can someone please explain why? License issues?

      rm -rf $startdir/pkg/etc/
      # Fix the permissions

      # Install the custom google license
      install -D -m 644 $startdir/LICENSE $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/google-desktop/LICENSE
    As you can see, the find should fix all directories with the wrong permissions (700) with 755 instead.

  • Integrate google desktop search with AIR application

    My requirement is to integrate google desktop search with my AIR application.If any one has any idea on this, please help me.

    Yes,
    I think you can use the ImageSnapShot class, and thern use the bitmap data from it as you desire.
    You can use the snapshot to take a grab of any element/child in your application or presumably you can take a snapshot of the main application if you want the whole lot.
    I used this method recently to print a screen state.
    var imgWidth:Number = 400;
    var img:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
    img.id = "appSnapShot";
    var imageSnap:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(myScreenInstance as IBitmapDrawable);
    var imageByteArray:ByteArray = imageSnap.data as ByteArray;
    img.load(imageByteArray);
    img.scaleContent = true;
    img.width = imgWidth;
    img.maintainAspectRatio = true;
    application.addElement(img);
    Maybe that will help.

  • Google Desktop/Gadgets

    I have Google Desktop installed successfully. However, every time I try to open Google Gadgets, it won't open. The icon bounces in the dock a few times, then quits. Sometimes it gives me an error message, but it never mentions what the problem is. I've had this trouble for a while now, and I just updated to 10.5.2. What is the problem? What can I do to fix it?
    I'm not sure if this helps, but I also have CandyBar installed.

    Hiya,
      I kind of doubt this is still a requirement given the age of the post, but please see my recent article :
    [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/70ed80f3-5964-2e10-90b9-e833ade5e8c5|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/70ed80f3-5964-2e10-90b9-e833ade5e8c5]
    It gives a step-by-step of getting SAP to talk to Google Desktop Gadgets.
    I think that the Imagineering(?) Team came up with a similar concept.
    All the best

  • Google desktop shortcut

    I have mistakenly deleted the nice google desktop shortcut & cannot see where to add this back from.
    I can make a normal internet shortcut but I want the desktop size icon shortcut back.
    Any ideas please.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    double tap your desktop,  then a little gear will show up on the top right.  tap it.
    then
    desktop menu/add widget/google
    and this will pit it back on your desktop

  • Google Desktop beta breaks Java

    Has anyone else found that their applet exhibits strange behavior or even fails to run at all one a user has installed the google desktop?
    I found it completely knocked out the plugin on firefox and mozilla and on IE6 our app locks up for 30 seconds or so on startup

    We have experienced the same problem - having Google Desktop installed on the client breaks our applet-based application on IE7, causing the browser to hang forever during startup.
    This only seems to happen when using the 1.5 or higher plug-in. 1.4.2 works fine. Firefox also seems to work fine though.
    The problem appears to be related to caching. If we disable JAR caching, the problem doesn't occur - but since that's not an option, we chose to uninstall Google Desktop to make our application work.
    Thanks,
    Jacob

  • Google Desktop and the spinning wheel of death

    For anyone who is reading this who has installed Google products on Leopard: DON'T!
    I don't know what exactly caused the spinning wheel, but what I can tell you is that I used Onyx on my system. After that, I had huge problems with my node structure. I fixed those problems with Disk Warrior 4 and was able to at least get my computer to boot reasonably fast, but not as fast as it should. I kept getting the dreaded, spinning wheel! Why? Why? Why?, I asked myself.
    Well, after reading someone else's post about running activity monitor to see what could be running, I saw that Google's Dektop analyzer was running. I quit it, only for it to restart automatically by itself.
    I ended up getting CleanApp to delete a bunch of stuff I didn't need to see if that would get rid of the problem. When that didn't, I went back to the Google products and delted anything and everything Google from both Library/Preferences folders as well as from my Applications folder.
    I can tell you that I am now back running smoothly and typing this note faster than I could type anything for the past 5 hours!!! Woohoo!
    You can't imagine how frustrated I was. In the middle of homework and I get crunched by the spinning wheel of death.
    So, for all of you who are running Google Desktop...beware! Even if you quit from your activity monitor, it will launch again immediately after. You just have to delete the darn thing.
    I'm not sure if Onyx affected it or not. That's for someone else to figure out. But I haven't had good luck with both Onyx and now Google Desktop, so I'm steering far, far clear of both of those applications for now.
    Hope this helps someone.

    Here is an update on my situation with Google Desktop. I found out that was not the problem at all. Actually, Software Update - 10.5.2 caused the problem. I even wiped the drive, reinstalled 10.5.1 and then upgraded again to 10.5.2 and the same issues arose. The spinning pinwheel (beachball of death) would appear for a few seconds before most operations and the system would not shut down after the Updating Boot Cache notice appeared.
    I contacted Apple support by phone and they walked me through a number of steps to try and resolve. When those steps did not work, which included setting up an alternate user and trying to log of from that user, they assigned me a incident number and notified me that they'll have to scale it up to engineering to see if there will be a solution.

  • Lost all my google desktop page and email access...again after using Trend Micro System Tuner

    I ran Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2013 System Tuner and lost all the info, gadgets, etc. and even my email (Gmail) access. I was left with a black, blank page. I opened up Google Chrome and everything is still in place. This happened 3 days ago. So, yesterday I ran the system tuner again again as per my own comments from last year....had sorted it out by doing it. Still nothing. This morning.....I opened Firefox (21) and surprisingly had my main desktop page but still without my email. When I tried to open the email on it's own I still got nothing....the computer seemed to try to open it, but got "stuck" and the "loading" bar that goes from left to right never appeared. I could switch to the "slower" HTML version and the mail came up but prefer standard version. Checking on Google Chrome, everything is working just fine. I believe the Firefox Version 21 had only just been updated? Perhaps that is at the core. I really prefer Firefox but will have to continue with Google Chrome until this problem perhaps sorts itself out. Since it is loading properly on Google Chrome I don't want to set everything up again. Any suggestions?

    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

  • Droid RAZR overseas - constantly requesting google play services login

    Hello Community,
    I'm a US customer in the UK, and my phone is a RAZR (that means it's CDMA only - no GSM). I turned off the data, and am only using wifi, but it constantly is asking me to log into google play services. This is beyond annoying. How do I disable this constant stream of requests to log in?
    Standard message at the top of the screen: Account Action Required
    HELP PLEASE!
    Thank you,
    Tim Crowley

        ThisServiceIsPainful we can certainly understand being frustrated with something like this constantly popping up on your phone especially if its not something you wish to use. You have reached the right place however as we will work to get this resolved for you. The device is set to run certain services through your mobile data plan so it will cause it to pop up if it can tell its no longer connected to the network. What we would do in that case is stop the service from running which will prevent the pop up. What you would do is navigate through these menus to get to the process that is running. Please navigate to Settings>Apps>All and then scroll down to select Google Play Services. Once you select this option then press Force stop and uncheck the box labeled "Show notifications". This should stop you from constantly being notified on signing into Google Play service.
    Please try these steps and let us know if this works for you.

  • [Request] Google Video Chat Plugin

    I've googled around trying to find an existing posting of this latest development, that the Google Talk Video Chat is finally available for Linux, but didn't see anything. I'm using Arch Linux 64-bit, but the file they provide is a deb, and 32-bit at that. The link to download the file is:
    http://dl.google.com/linux/direct/googl … t_i386.deb
    I do have an Arch32 chroot so I wouldn't mind having to use a 32-bit browser to use this.
    Hopefully someone nice will package this for me?
