New Iron-Version: 9.0.600.2 Stable for Linux

[SRWare]

We released the new Iron 9 for Linux today, which contains all features and updates known from Chromim 9. The current version is 9.0.600.2. Mainly the WebGL Support was improved, you can test it under http://www.chromeexperiments.com/webgl. There are also some new experimental features in "about:flags". We removed the "Instant"-Feature for more pricacy.

There seems to be a problem with the user agent. My custom user agent doesn't work its magic anymore.

Thank you very much for your great work !

I notice that the "Iron for Linux: Infos and Download" link from the Iron download page doesn't target to this topic.
I don't know what about the sources (if they are Iron 9 sources)...

I would ask you : Is it possible for a next version to make Iron built with WebkitGTK+ to have a better support with GTK+ UI (Gnome/XFCE/LXDE buttons, checkbox...) ?

Thank you in advance for your answer !

Hello,

I'm using iron 32 bit on a Ubuntu machine (10.04). I had problems with the VP8 codec. The browser didn't recognize the video format. I checked the libffmpegsumo.so library, which is delivered with the iron:
$ ldd /opt/iron-linux/libffmpegsumo.so
not a dynamic executable

It seems there is a problem with the codec library. I deleted the iron-version of the library and used the version, which is available on Ubuntu 10.04 together with the chromium browser package. The lib can be installed standalone by calling
$ sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg

I simply copied the installed ffmpeg to the /opt/iron-linux/ directory. Starting the ldd command again:
$ ldd /opt/iron-linux/libffmpegsumo.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x0037f000)
libvpx.so.0 => /usr/lib/libvpx.so.0 (0x0041f000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0x0053f000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00110000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0x0012f000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0x007e2000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0093f000)

Trying with iron a VP8 demo video at youtube.com: it's working well now

Maybe you can check - at least the 32bit - iron package for that problem.

I have had a single issue on all rpm-based distros, so far mainly with Fedora 11-13, and Mandriva 2008.1-2010. Iron browser won't start with the tar.gz extracted to /home. It works in distros such as Arch Linux, but rpm-based distros it fails on, with the following error:

Code: Select all

$ ./iron
./iron: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have installed various things which state they contain libbz2.so, however, it's been to no avail; it stll fails to start with the same error.
As to whether this is related to the previous post to mine here or not, I can't tell.

Thanks.

Try this :

Code: Select all

ls -al /usr/lib/libbz2*

Then link libbz2.so.1.0 to your result.
Ex :
ln -s /usr/lib/libbz2.so /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1.0 (if your result is /usr/lib/libbz2.so)

Sorry, I tried that to no avail. Meant to mention it in my initial post.
