We released the new Iron for Linux 54 today, which contains all features and updates known from Chromium 54. The current version is 54.2850.0.

Main improvements:
- HTTPS-Error fix on some sites
- performance improvements
- Bug-/Securityfixes

On Debian and distributions which use an older Kernel the following commands may be necessary (the .deb packages already do it automatically):

Code: Select all

cd [insert Iron directory here]
sudo chown root chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-wrapper
./chrome-wrapper (for the start of Iron)
To enable Netflix oder Amazon Video you have copy libwidevinecdm.so from an original Google Chrome installation to the Iron folder.

How to get Flash working:
http://www.srware.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8295

You can launch the "Config and Backup Tool" via ./IronConfigBackup or via the Shell as "SRWare Iron Config and Backup Tool" under Networks

Hello

Unfortunately I had to return to previous version (53-rd) because:

1. In "maps.google.com" ALL text I see is painted out. I have attached screenshots from two versions
2. 54-th version uses CPU much more then 53-rd WHEN in plays movie via flash player. I use it on laptop and this is critical
3. Giff animation is still irremovable.

Actually both of this problem is critical to me.
Will use 53-rd version.

Thank you,
All the best

Afternoon, one and all.

This is my first post here, although I suspect it won't be the last.

I'm a long-term Chrome user; ever since it was in beta back in 2008, in fact. I fell in love with its speed and simplicity.....although it, like so many other browsers, has turned into a lumbering 'super-tanker' due to all the additional security features that have needed to be added over the years.

Originally an XP user, for the last couple of years I've been happily running 'Puppy' Linux, and currently multi-boot around a dozen of the little darlings. Puppy has, until fairly recently, been 32-bit only, mainly because it targets elderly hardware; 64-bit 'Pups' are a fairly recent addition. I re-package the 64-bit versions of Chrome into the SFS 'load-on-the-fly' package format that Pup uses.

Since Google dropped support for 32-bit Chrome, we've been experimenting, on the Puppy Forum, with various other Chromium-based alternatives. We've developed a liking for FlashPeak's Slimjet browser.....but it has one major flaw.....it doesn't support NetFlix. (FlashPeak don't integrate the necessary h264 support into Slimjet.....for 'copyright' reasons!) Iron, however, does. It also has a somewhat different interface, despite being a Chrome 'clone'; the tabs are reminiscent of pre-Australis FireFox! (Ugh!!)

I run two elderly machines; a 12-yr old Compaq desktop PC (pre-HP buyout, so of amazing build quality, and still going strong).....and a 14-yr old Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop.

I wanted to say 'Thanks!' for the current version of Iron. It is finally enabling me to run a bang-up-to-date Chromium 'clone', even on older Puppies with very much older versions of the glibc....all on very elderly hardware. Current versions of Chromium will no longer run on older 'Pups', as it's been compiled against a much more recent version of the 'C' library.

We're using the .deb package, extracting, correcting the permissions for Pup's unique method of operation (it runs as root!!), then re-packaging into the SFS package format. And it runs perfectly.

Cheers! Much appreciated.


Mike. ;)

deb install displayed this;
You should be able to find it in the "Internet" Section.
If you have no luck after all, then launch "./chrome-wrapper".

If you get any error, please run:
cd [insert Iron directory here]
sudo chown root chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 chrome-wrapper
./chrome-wrapper (for the start of Iron)

(We had to change it because otherwise Debian users were not able to run it with proper sandbox)

Hiya, Steve.

I run Iron myself, in Puppy Linux. I re-package Iron for the 64-bit Pups, and an acquaintance does the same for the 32-bitzers.

I think you'll find that in the current release there is no 'iron' file; the binary is the 'chrome' one instead.

Code: Select all

/usr/share/iron/chrome
8th line up from the bottom of your list of files. At least, that's what's there in my downloads.....and I'm posting from the 64-bit right now.


Mike. ;)
