Chromium 38 trouble with syncing?
« on: 2014/10/12, 10:28:00 »
Latest chromium does give me a warning the some API's are disabled and that therefor some services would not work.
Upgrading crashes chromium.
Deleting .config/chromium and restarting does not let me sign in and sync anymore.

According to this

http://www.iuculano.it/linux/apt-get-purge-chromium/

the chromium package is not maintained in Debian any more.

^No, it just says that one maintainer had collaborative issues with another maintainer. It does not mean that it's unmaintained...

Any news - i.e. a fix - for this issue? Installing chromium_38.0.2125.101-3 over 38.0.2125.101-2+b1 didn't bring any change...

Maybe adding to your sources.list
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable main
Rationale:
- If nobody of the opensource community can inspect the code
- if you would have used Pepperflash regardlessly
Why not trust the original package?

Currently, the only Workaaround, either a HOLD on the last version 37 or as proposed by ralul, instead install the Google browser (google-chrome-stable). The 38 version of chromium browser in SID is not usable.

This "history" with the Debian maintainer of chromium gets again negatively felt by the user.

I added the Google repository, but I get the same version, no earlier versions.
Code: [Select]
javi@toshi:~$ apt-cache show chromium
Package: chromium
Source: chromium-browser
Version: 38.0.2125.101-3
Installed-Size: 140297
I'm goint to install Chrome for now, I guess, as bluelupo says, is the only solution.

Hi ajavibp,
You can take as chromium substitute the browser directly from Google (Repo http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/), which is available in later versions. The extent to which versions are comparable, however, I can not judge.

Code: [Select]
google-chrome-stable:
  Installiert:           38.0.2125.111-1
  Installationskandidat: 38.0.2125.111-1
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 38.0.2125.111-1 0
        500 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
google-chrome-beta:
  Installiert:           (keine)
  Installationskandidat: 39.0.2171.52-1
  Versionstabelle:
     39.0.2171.52-1 0
        500 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main amd64 Packages
google-chrome-unstable:
  Installiert:           (keine)
  Installationskandidat: 40.0.2209.0-1
  Versionstabelle:
     40.0.2209.0-1 0
        500 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main amd64 Packages

Eine Möglichkeit die Meldung zu beseitigen ist den alten Key von debian einzutragen:

[Gelöst] Chromium "Google API keys missing" Ungelesener Beitrag height=9von lightonflux am 06.11.2014 13:58:18
 Wenn man Chromium nutzt und immer schön aktualisiert hat, dann kann es passiert sein dass man beim starten die Meldung bekommt dass die Google API keys fehlen.

In die Datei   /etc/chromium.d/googleapikeys   schreibt man:

Code: [Select]
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="AIzaSyCkfPOPZXDKNn8hhgu3JrA62wIgC93d44k"
export GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID="811574891467.apps.googleusercontent.com"
export GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET="kdloedMFGdGla2P1zacGjAQh"

Bei den Keys handelt es sich um die alten, die bei den vorigen Releases in Debian genutzt wurden.

Möchte man nur die Meldung los werden aber die Funktionalität ist egal dann einfach folgendes eintragen:

Code: [Select]
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=""
export GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID=""
export GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET=""

Hier noch ein Artikel von LWN der die Umstände beschreibt wodurch die Situation zu stande gekommen ist.

Vielleicht hilft euch das weiter.
Welchen Sync von Chromium meintet ihr?

I had no /etc/chromium.d/googleapikeys file  :o
I tried creating it with empty data, but nothing change.

I created the file /etc/chromium.d/googleapikeys, added the export lines with the keys and voilà - seems to work, chromium can sync again etc.! :) Thanks a lot, DeKa!
