Why can I never sign into Chromium??

[Peter Quigley]

Why can I never sign into Chromium? 

I always get the same message: 

"Uh-oh. Service Unavailable. Try again later".

When I raised this before, I was told to log into Canary (which didn't work either). 
And why must I log into Canary if I want to log into Chromium?

You may need to enable API keys, see https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys .

Thanks, Pawel

I tried to make this work, but, to be honest, I'm not smart enough to negotiate all this.

I can't see why the API keys are not just defaulted to 'enabled' so that people are able to log in.

Thanks, again, for trying to help me

What OS are you on? How did you get a copy of Chromium?

[Peter Quigley]

Hi Jonathan

I am using Windows 7 Enterprise as the OS

I downloaded Chromium from the Web: it works really well with an extension I use called Gmelius for Gmail.

Same problem.

i use portable variant (Win7 x64). I download zip (chrome-win32.zip) from https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html and start with bat file:

set HomeDir=%CD%
set key1=--user-data-dir="%HomeDir%\User Data"
set key2=--disk-cache-size=1
set key3=--disk-cache-dir="%CD%"
set key4=--media-cache-size=1
set key5=--ppapi-flash-path="%HomeDir%\pepflashplayer64.dll"
set key6=--ppapi-flash-version=21.0.0.242
cd %HomeDir%\chrome-win32
start chrome.exe %key1% %key2% %key3% %key4% %key5% %key6% %key7% %key8% %key9% %key10%

Unfortunately, there is message that some Google API is unavailable and nothing happens when I try to enter Chromium.

No one thought you were getting it on a disc from a physical store, I believe. :)

Where did you download it from?

Do you mean that sync will be working only if I install Chrome from installation packet?

[Paweł Hajdan, Jr.]

Why do you use Chromium from https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html instead of Google Chrome?

FWIW, https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys has "Providing Keys at Runtime" section. Does setting the environment variables as described there work for you?

Paweł

[PhistucK]

I am not sure what an "installation packet" is, but if you install Chrome (not Chromium), Chrome Sync should work out of the box, no external API keys needed, yes.

I like to use portable browser. That's why it is easier for me to use snapshot build with .bat launcher.

"Providing Keys at Runtime" section - is totally ununderstandable for me. As I suggest I must create runtime with  pre-built Chromium binary. But I.m not able to do that.

Is there another way to use Chrome/Chromium with sync but portable?

[PhistucK]

It is not official in any way, but I think there is a portable Chrome (not Chromium) which I believe should let you use Chrome Sync.

The problem with portable versions is that they do not update automatically. This puts you at a very great risk.

I've been having an issue with Chrome not saving my password for banking websites (Bank of Oklahoma, TFCU, Paypal, etc) so I figured I'd re-install and that did nothing, tried logging in and out, nothing again. 

Finally decided I'd try Chromium and see if that would work since they ARE saved on googles servers/my account but it wont let me login even after I followed all the steps to get the APIs. So I decided to just un-install chromium and I'll think about using a different browser.

[Peter Quigley]

Sorry. I am not trying to be a smart Alec. 

I downloaded about 2 months ago, from here I believe.

http://chromium.woolyss.com/download/en/

Is there a more appropriate place from which to download? 

-Pete

[SID Soyer]

I think, I've found solution:

1. Download latest build with sync from chromium.woolyss.com (e.g. http://chromium.woolyss.com/#windows-64-bit, Sync • WebRTC • Widevine • 53.0.2764.0 (398822) • Thursday, 9 Jun 2016)

2. Download launcher from http://www.henrypp.org/product/chrlauncher.

3. Set  your own congiguration in chrlauncher.ini (e.g. Command line, Flash Player PPAPI DLL path etc.)

4. Start browser with chrlauncher.exe.

Works fine. Also You can set update period and channel. Perfect thing!
