[SOLVED] Using chromium-browser-bin with tsocks

Has anyone else tried to to use chromium with tsocks? I thought it would be transparent and work fine, but it doesn't seem to work at all. I just get error messages that chromium can't load the web page, but no site errors. I've tried both by setting LD_PRELOAD and by running 'tsocks chromium-browser' with an existing /etc/tsocks.conf that works perfectly with other applications (mutt,irssi, pacman, etc.). Is this just a chromium bug? Anyone else care to test this?
Thanks!
Scott

EDIT: I should have had SOCKS_VERSION=4 or just left it alone for the default of 4. Works as expected now.
I have a computer ($BG) with sshd open on port 81.
from my .bashrc
function unblock() {
port=5432
export SOCKS_SERVER=localhost:$port
export SOCKS_VERSION=5
chromium &
ssh -p 81 -D $port $BG
"unblock" brings chromium up but with no change in it's behavior. It's not using SOCKS.
man chromium wrote:
ENVIRONMENT
Chromium obeys the following environment variables:
all_proxy
Shorthand for specifying all of http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy
http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy
The proxy servers used for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. Note: because Gnome/KDE proxy settings may propagate into these variables in some terminals, this variable is ignored (in preference for actual system proxy settings) when running under Gnome or KDE. Use the command-line flags to set these when you want to force their values.
auto_proxy
Specify proxy autoconfiguration. Defined and empty autodetects; otherwise, it should be an autoconfig URL. But see above note about Gnome/KDE.
FILES
The man page does not mention any SOCKS_* settings.
However, wrench icon->options->Under the Hood: Network (Change proxy settings) launches about:linux-proxy-config which does.
about:linux-proxy-config wrote:SOCKS_SERVER: SOCKS proxy server (defaults to SOCKS v4, also specify SOCKS_VERSION=5 to use SOCKS v5)
pacman -Qi chromium wrote:Version : 5.0.375.55-1
Am I doing it wrong?

[semi-solved]chromium-browser-bin

Hi,
I had to do a full system upgrade today and when I came to the point where I wanted to install my favourite browser, yaourt failed.
I typed:
$yaourt -S chromium-browser-bin
A list of the usual stuff pops up, eg. the comments and what not.. Then I get the typical warning about whether or not I would like to modify the pkgbuild which, of course, I would select yes (problem still happens if I hit no).. Immediately after that, I'm back with
chromium-browser-bin LATEST-12 : The open-source project behind Google Chrome
( Unsupported package: Potentally dangerous ! )
==> Edit the PKGBUILD (highly recommended for security reasons) ? [Y/n]("A" to abort)
==> ----------------------------------------------
==>n
[molecular-bio@archbox ~]$
Does this potentially mean that this package is deleted?
yaourt works for other packages, so I'm not sure here... I really, really liked the chromium-browser-bin package.
Thank you

The problem is with yaourt's parser. Using a different AUR helper, this problem disappears.
However, I can understand the attraction of using Yaourt. You can make chromium-browser-bin and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree-bin work with yaourt by editing the PKGBUILDs. Where it says:
case "$CARCH" in
i686|i[3-5]86) _bldarch='chromium-rel-linux';;
x86_64|amd64) _bldarch='chromium-rel-linux-64';;
# The following should not happen; provided you're using 'makepkg' ;)
*) error "Unknown or invalid CARCH=$CARCH"; exit 1
esac
Replace that with the one for the version that you have:
64-bit Arch
_bldarch=chromium-rel-linux-64
32-bit Arch
_bldarch=chromium-rel-linux
(Edit: stupidly had the two swapped)

Chromium-browser-bin woun't start

I've installed chromium-browser-bin from aur, and it woun't launch.
So, I deleted it and installed "chromium" package from extra. After using it for a while I wanted to try latest build again.
And so today, I tried for the third time installing chromium-browser-bin from aur.
And got the same error.
$ pacman -Q chromium-browser-bin
chromium-browser-bin 56505-1
$ chromium-browser
Illegal instruction
What could be wrong with it?

Chromium 6 is in its early stages if I'm not mistaken. You should probably wait a little while for them to get this whole thing straightened out.
EDIT: Actually, from reading that thread, I see that it is happening on x86 CPUs. I'll attempt it on my Arch64 machine and see what happens.

How can I get HTML5 support in chromium-browser-bin?

Here is the package I have now:
chromium-browser-bin
chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree-bin 50002-1
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.10-1
x264 20100607-1
And something as dependancies for the above.
But I cannot watch video in HTML5 mode in chromium.
Is there anything I missed?
Thanks a lot.

1. Why not use chromium from extra?
2. chromium does not support all vide encodings, only a few of them. This is due to licensing, software patensts, politics and other fun stuff.
Blame the ones who desided to not make thedora the standard encoding in html5.

Can I use "In-browser editing" with my site hosted externally?

Hi
I have my own reseller account here in the UK. I designed and created my own CMS, but as I've designed my first site in Muse, I thought I'd give the "In-browser editing" facility a go.
Does this still work if my website is hosted externally, or do I have to pay for this feature if I wish to use it?
I've looked everywhere and can't find any information that to use "In-browser editing" is chargeable or can be used in conjunction with an externally hosted website.
Cheers
Glynn

Hi Both
Thanks for your replies.
Sanjit, Adobe could perhaps make this clear on this page http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/muse/features.html where it is listed as:
"In-browser editing
Let website owners make changes to the content of their live sites through a browser. Choose whether to merge changes with the original Adobe Muse files."
Perhaps it could say
"In-browser editing
Let website owners make changes to the content of their live sites through a browser. Choose whether to merge changes with the original Adobe Muse files. [ONLY available with Adobe Business Catalyst]"
or in the video if you click the title.
Cheers

Why can't I use in browser editing with synchronized text?

I have created a muse site that has a desktop version as well as a phone version. I have synchronized the text on the site and I want to enable in-browser editing, but it tells me that I cannot because my server does not appear to support page redirects. Upon further investigation, I have found that PHP 5.1 or greater is needed. My server is running 5.3. I spent an hour on the phone with adobe tech support last week, and that was a joke. Any suggestions?

.htaccess is a file. I would expect there to be one in each folder that represents a website.
Every export from Muse 2014.2.0 (or later) will attempt update this file or will attempt to create the file, if there is none. If you're not using synchronized text, the file will contain an empty section that's maintained by Muse that will look like the following:
# Begin Muse Generated redirects
# End Muse Generated redirects
If you're using synchronized text, there will be a series of commands that associate the new *.php file names with the former *.html file names for any pages that use synchronized text.
I frankly don't know what would cause GoDaddy to be refusing to let Muse create or update this file. If the file doesn't exist, you might try using File > Export as HTML from Muse and then manually put the .htaccess file in place (with Filezilla, etc.). Once it's there, perhaps subsequent FTP uploads from Muse will be able to update it.

Ipd 3 keeps on freezing using chrome browser same with Safari

Keep on freezing using chrome and Safari browsers

Try clearing Safari and Chrome, close both apps and then reset the device.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. In Chrome, tap the 3 horizontal line in the upper right corner. Then go to Settings>Privacy>Clear Cookies, Cache and Site Data.
Now close both apps. To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Safari app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Now the reset - Reset the iDevice by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the device start up.

Use Chromium OS text-to-speech voices with Chromium browser

...and he's at it again!
TL;DR chromium-ext-chromiumos-tts-git - all TTS voices from Chromium OS for use with Chromium desktop browser. Install as unpacked extension (no more auto-install, sorry, damn you Google!)
So you've heard about the text-to-speech capabilities of Chromium OS, and you would like to use them with your desktop browser?
Perhaps you have dyslexia, a visual disability, or just a desire to learn a new language, have Web pages read out to you, or you simply want to show off your digital-fu to your friends?
Then you may have noticed that the Chrome web store does have plenty speech synthesizers from third parties, but in most countries, the one from Google usually shows up with just one voice (US English).
For those who don't (want to) speak English, are bi-/multilingual, or who just are more open-minded with regards to the world's languages, here's my way to help make this happen: chromium-ext-chromiumos-tts-git on the AUR.
This extension packages the TTS engine and all the voices available from the Chromium OS project...as a Chromium extension.
To install it:
Download the taurball, build and install the package
In Chromium, browse to chrome://extensions
Enable Developer mode by ticking the box
Click the button named "Install unpacked extension..."
Navigate to /usr/share/chromium/extensions/chromium-ext-chromiumos-tts
Click on Open
That's it, you should now have a new extension named "Chromium OS Text-to-speech (by Google)" enabled and ready to use.
Note: Before rushing off to try out some HTML5 / TTS demos out there on the Web, please realize that not all of them work well (or at all), since text-to-speech on the Web is quite new and still in development.
The easiest way to get a quick glimpse (or rather soundbite) of what this thing can do, is to install the ChromeVox extension from the Google web store. After installation, click on its Options link, scroll down to Voices, and try out the different languages from the listbox.
Suggestions, questions, etc. are very welcome.
Enjoy :-)

To make it clear, this is not ripped, reverse-engineered, "warez" or anything like that. It uses publicly available material from the Chromium OS project, and modifies only BSD-licensed source files.

Strange behaviour in Chromium browser with PDF links

I am using the Chromium browser from the repository (v4.0.249) and xpdf as my PDF reader. xpdf launches fine from Firefox and Opera when clicking a PDF link in a website. Before I had Chromium set as my default browser Chromium would actually launch Firefox(!) and then FF would load the PDF document into xpdf. That in itself is strange. Now that I have Chromium set as my default browser (using "export BROWSER=/usr/bin/chromium" in ~/.bash_profile) when I click a PDF link Chromium opens a new tab and gives me this error:
This webpage is not found.
No webpage was found for the web address: file:///home/larry/Downloads/Hardware
The Downloads directory is where all my downloads go. Any ideas on how to set up Chromium to use xpdf properly would be greatly appreciated. I went to the Chromium forum and there was a similar query with no response as of yet.

Works for me™
Do PDFs open in the right app if you open them with 'xdg-open path/to/pdf/file' ?
Edit:
I forgot to mention that I haven't set any "special" environment variables before using chromium.

What's going on with the Chromium browser packages ?

They are too many !
1 bin32-cxchromium--> An old chromium package. Do we need it ?
2 chromium-browser-{buildnumber}~-svn{date}{upstreamrev} --> it's the repackaged deb of a rebuilt svn chromium. 32bit only.
3 chromium-browser-dev --> OK. it's the same as the previous one + 64bit package. So (2) isn't needed ?
4 chromium-browser-inspector --> Don't really know what this is.
5 chromium-continuous / fresh / lkgr --> Don't they provide the same package ? They drag the .zip from build.chromium.org. What if they provide different svn versions? In an experimental browser, don't expect much stability, so why should we have now three different stages of the svn history of chromium ?
6 chromium-snapshot --> same as chromium-continuous. 32bit only.
7 chromium-snapshot-64 --> it's the native 64bit package of chromium-snapshot. 64bit only.
8 chromium-snapshot-64-last --> Don't really know what this is. It seems the same as (7).
9 chromium-browser-svn -->The only one that provides the source for building.
Well, they are too many. Some of them provide the same thing, others should be merged.
What we should need:
One PKGBUILD to repackage the deb package from ppa launchpad for both architectures. Too difficult to create a PKGBUILD that will (with the aid of wget or curl or even elinks) automatically check the latest version possible.
One PKGBUILD to repackage the zip package from build.chromium.org. I have a suggestion for this.
One PKGBUILD to make an archlinux package from sources. It already exists, this should be the base for the future chrome (stable) package.
Not all of these.
Just a suggestion

As far as I'm concern, Chrome is the spy-ware browser...
But not a spy-ware for a specific type of users, but one for a major company like Google. Which means, you don't have to worry about Credit Card frauds or something like that... There's an old saying: "information is power" - Google being the biggest marketing corporation on the Internet has a very good use for this power. So, they won't harm users in any way, that would be against their "current" interests... They just want to gather data regarding users interests.
As you all know by now, at current times Internet is the best place for that:
-you want to buy something, you browse the Internet
-you're interested in some future gadgets, you browse the Internet
-you're looking for a specific product (from any domain) you browse the Internet
-you're looking for a specific place for a vacation, you browse the Internet.
... and so on.
Until Chrome was released, their search engine (Google) and their mail client (Gmail) was a very good tool for that, yet with Google Chrome they have even more control which obviously, can lead to more accurate results. This will increase their profits significantly, as mentioned above - without hurting those involved.
It's all up to you as user, if you agree with that or not... which is obviously coved by their EULA Yet, I strongly believe 99.9% of all Goggle Chrome users never looked at it (same as they proceed with any EULA).
========
I use Firefox for general usage, yet I also have Chromium installed for YouTube - since under Linux 64 bit flash doesn't work as wanted under Firefox, yet works pretty decent under Chromium. YouTube is also part of Google, so it makes no difference. And yes, I one of those rare people that don't accept their entire policy and also read EULA's.
and how does your rant against Google add anything to this 7 month old thread which was created only to clarify the hassles about so many chromium packages in AUR

Problems with dating downloaded images using Image Browser

When I download a day's pictures with Image Browser to my Mac, and some images were taken before 5 p.m. and some after 5 p.m., any of them taken after 5 p.m. are kicked into the next day's folder on my computer.
My camera and computer dates are correct. Time zone (Pacific) is correct. Even my tech savvy son can't figure this one out. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

Hey RJ, I was able to create it no problem using either Rectangle Tool with 10px roundness (left), or the the Rounded Rectangle Tool (right).
See live example here with drop shadow.
Download original sample file here.
Couple of tips to remember.
- Use .jpg (100 quality) or png for each of the slices for them to show 'smoothly'. (I notice your screen example uses .gif, and it's not recommended when drop shadows are used)
- For the top/bottom make sure the slice extends just a tab bit beyond where the 'corner' on the shape occurs. Thats why your seeing a little 'extra' graphic on your edges.
hope this helps

Firefox seems to be my only browser that puts ads on my Facebook page. How can I stop this? I love Firefox but hate the ads and will use another browser until it's solved.

Whenever I open Facebook through Firefox I get pop up ads and such. I do not seem to get this when using other browsers like Safari or IE. It's sooo annoying!!! I will use another browser until it's solved.

Since you have encountered the problem at other sites, not just Firefox, I'd bet that it is an Internet Explorer problem, not the web sites. Actually, I am sure it is an IE problem.
Try running Windows Update, perhaps there are some updates for Internet Explorer that might resolve the problem. If you don't know how to run Windows Update, use the Help on your system to look for information on Windows Update.
If that does not help, use Google to search for information on IE9 locking up when downloading.

look people, i may have a solution for this. This happened to me a few times before and resolved alone, but last time it happened was when i turned off my router and back on while my comp was running and appeared when i tried opening firefox after that. so wat i did was i shutdown the computer and the router and tried turning both on again, and it resolved.
Therefore, Summary: Shutdown computer then turnoff router then turn both back on
Hope this helps anyone.

With Muse, can you use In-browser editing of websites using Third-party Hosting Service Providers or not?

On this page:http://www.adobe.com/inspire/2013/12/in-browser-editing-muse.html, it says you must use Adobes hosting. On this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/muse/using/in-browser-editing-websites-third-party-hosting.html, it indicates you can purely from the title. Which is it?

Hi Bob,
I found out how to do it, you drag the bounding box of the image container or rectangle to the edge of the browser boundary - as in the gray area around the edge - it snaps to it and the edges of the container go red to show this, and when its previewed it spans 100% of browser width. This video from Lynda explains how:

I can't upgrade as I have windows vista and the new version doesn't run on Vista, don't really want to buy a new computer just to run the latest Muse!
