Im a complete newbie to Ubuntu Server and am looking for a web browser which I am learning to use as it is a requirement of the course I'm doing.It's been many a year since I've spent any time poking around a CLI and am constantly going back and forward between various websites for hints on coding.I'm running this in VMWare and it would make life a bit easier if I could find a decent web browser to use.I won't use Firefox as I find it too unstable and don't use it on my windows box... I've tried Links2 and a couple of other light weight broswers but I'm not keen.

Step-1: First, add (if not added already) the Google Chrome repository on your system using the following command. While using PPA to our system we also receive the latest updates whenever you check for system updates.


After adding Google Chrome repository in our system use following commands to install the latest Google Chrome stable release. If you already have installed an older version, It will upgrade currently installed version with recent stable version.


I think that the easiest way would to run your VMWare OS and have chrome open in the background- other than having Chrome in a Command Line Interface environment. Then when you have them both open, Ctrl + Alt then use Alt + Tab. to swap between chrome. Ever tried using 2 screens or using a phone or tablet as another way of accessing help?(sorry I can't figure out or find how to make my key presses look like keys)


Please note that Google Chrome is proprietary software, and all users

considering the installation should consider whether or not they wish to pull

proprietary software into a system consisting otherwise of Free Software

(other than firmware).


This is the great thing about the SilverBlue workstation OS. You have a lot of choice about what software to install and how. You can install RPMs as overlay packages from third party repos or downloads, Flatpaks from multiple online repositories/stores (e.g. Flathub), and premade containerized applications from Dockerhub or other registries. You can also download and build from source easily using the toolbox. All these options are great and run on a totally free open source base. And with the Fedora IoT rpm-ostree distro, it is very easy for companies and projects to release customized devices running both open source and proprietary software together. This is totally awesome!


I thought the TK1 would do it, but Firefox was crushed by the 2nd page in his example. I wonder if it is just the Firefox browser, though. So, I went to install Chrome or Chromium and found no helpful pages. The NV site sends you to a page to install x86 Chrome. Bah.


I also get better performance from Firefox on that page.

Looking at the CPU while running I think you will be better off with the Denver version of the Jetson board if/when it becomes available. (assuming the software will work correctly on it out of the box, since ARM V8 is so new that might be a problem)


If you redesigned the page to use WebGL though it would probably run at 60FPs at 1080p on the current Jetson though.

You could of course also get a cheap x86 SBC with an Intel Bay Trail atom CPU. These have Ivy Bridge class Intel HD graphics and run up to 2.4GHz with most instruction features found on ivy bridge.

Also a webgl version of the page would still run faster on the intel CPU anyway.


To install chrome, I download ChromeSetup.exe file and run it.Now it needs to connect to the internet in order to download the actual software. But I am behind a proxy. The ChromeSetup.exe file that I just executed does not detect/ask the proxy and tries to connect to the internet and fails.


After that, it started a continuous access to the hard disk so that it was impossible to work, everything was blocked: the keyboard, mouse. I waited 20 minutes, my patience ran out and I reloaded computer. After reloading : Logs only system.journal, user-1000.journal and Xorg have information and they are suspicious :


After that I stopped using ports and I reinstalled FreeBSD from packages. In this case, Midnight Commander is installed using the package manager in 30 seconds. But if the computer has non-standard hardware, you have to install the system from ports


I did help a small company that was allowing app self-installing (shudder). To keep things on an even keel and eliminate user installs, we deleted the non-enterprise version & all local profile data under appdata\local. We then pushed the Enterprise version to the machine (not by user). Since they were Google Workspace customers, the next step was easy. Their staff just had to login to the browser and all of their data synced again. All and all very little disruption to the end user.


I am not able to download the browser extension on chrome.

The message says it ist blocked by my organization (I am on a private, not policy-driven standard pc).

The message keeps the same even when disabling safe-browsing.


I'm new to Linux and am trying out Elementary. I need to install Google Chrome and do not see it in the app store, but I downloaded it directly from the Google site. However, I don't understand what I need to do with the file that downloaded. It contains some .tar.gz files and a binary file, how do I install an app from that?


If you really want to install Google Chrome, in the Google Chrome's official page you can to download the Ubuntu's .deb file for 64 bits, and install via console with apt. But you can to download and install with the next command:


It doesn't matter whether content blockers and tracking protection are enabled or not. Compatibility mode doesn't work as that will on button press just open the web page to download the Chrome browser.


ryuheechul Thanks for your reproduction steps! It seems that indeed installation only doesn't work when opening the store via a deeplink instead of from the extension menu. ? Opening the store from the extension menu and then searching for the extension and installing it from there seems to indeed work as it should.


Hi

I am not sure if I do something wrong or something has changed. ? But lately if I try to download a extension from Google chrome web store I get redirected to download Google chrome browser. If its a bug okay but if I do something wrong please let me know what to do.


I'm trying to install google chrome on the iPads and it looks ok but when I search for the app and try and open it on the iPad it tells me that the Jamf configured restrictions are not allowing it. I don't want to remove the restrictions but I also need to check if an app works properly through chrome. If anyone knows which restriction would keep chrome from loading on the iPads that would be awesome.


This depends on multiple different factors. The listed one already is the age restriction, but it depends on your profiles and how they are setup. If you are using a profile that is ONLY allowing certain apps under the "safelist and Blocklist" then it would not show up. Typically in my experience, you have set only a certain number of apps that are allowed in the profile to run. Another place to check is under the "restrictions" section in the profile, check if the option "Allow use of Safari" and see if that is not checked. This can also cause problems for third party web browsers.

I have been through the site and have come across several links to this effect, but they all seem to be installing the Chromium Browser from the official Canonical PPA (ppa:canonical-chromium-builds/stage)


From my understanding, the DBX runtime 10.4 is based on Ubuntu 20.04 - focal for which builds do not seem to be available in that PPA. Maybe because Ubuntu moved from official deb to installing Chromium as a snap ?


Would be really nice if Databricks can provide a recommended way to handle this, since this is a very common use case and there are so many such questions around this topic in our community forums itself...


Also regarding the other browsers, since we are using databricks, requirement is limited to linux and open source browsers only. I hear that not many websites are tested with firefox, hence a little hesitant there...


But I have been told that google-chrome is proprietary and chromium-browser is open source. Usage of proprietary software in code might cause license issues or some other issues such as telemetry etc. right ? Hence I was looking for some way we could use the open source version i.e. Chromium on which chrome is based on.


Is there a databricks hosted repository available for such use cases or does selenium work with the snap version of chromium-browser ? I hope I am not the only DBX user using DBX runtime 10.4 and trying to use chromium-browser...


I have also gone through the other options of installing Chromium without a snap. But we are finding the options either too complex or not from an official source. I found the following options from the link you had shared. Which option would Databricks recommend ?


Option 3 should be good but as there is a doubt with the licensing then I would not take a risk. If you want to go with this option then do all possible research w.r.t the license part and then go for it.
