In Ubuntu: Not working in Chromium Browser : solved

[Cprq CepercheMember]

At the same time cannot import or export

I get this error:
This webpage is not available

The webpage at chrome-extension://invalid/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Error 2 (net::ERR_FAILED): Unknown error.

… while in Google Chrome all works fine.

I am referring to all in latest versions

Tested also the 3 beta version to no avail.

Any idea?

Which version of Chromium do you use?

[Cprq CepercheMember]

Version 20.0.1132.47 Ubuntu 12.04 (144678)

 

that is now the latest in Ubuntu/Lubuntu

[adminMember]

Please install 21.x or later.

[Cprq CepercheMember]

thank you, but that is the latest in Ubuntu sources. otherwise i might just use google chrome. i will try to get a new version of chromium for linux although i do not know how exactly. could I not install instead  an older version of x notifier ?

 

is that possible and if yes, what would that be?

thnx for your quick reaction

If you Google, there are ways to add a 3rd party source… for later Google Chromium versions.
(Such as from Alex Shkop… a python developer.)

I got a mail answer from RpD that I cannot see here regarding a link for beta and dev versions of Chromium
The link is this

Also, in order to add PPA for dev versions, here.

I edited my post… as the link I had was to the same Chromium page… which is only version 18.

The PPA link is a 3rd party developer… and here’s his page (he has links for both ‘stable’ and ‘dev’ releases:

Thank you all.

There is in fact an unofficial stable release that is newer than the one in the Ubuntu official sources and up-to-date with X-notifier and Google Chrome versions.

To install, the Terminal commands are:

 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:a-v-shkop/chromium

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser


This solves the problem.

Solution did not work for me:

 

jb@Compaq-PC:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:a-v-shkop/chromium

You are about to add the following PPA to your system:

While Chromium Team won’t release new versions of Chromium browser I will try to maintain more-or-less fresh releases of Chromium
