#168350 — google-chrome-stable on Wheezy

Hell All,
My hard drive in my laptop took a dump on Friday, so after installing a
new one I installed Wheezy since I am not ready to move to Jessie yet.

The thing is, I am running the chromium-browser which is old and seems
to exit randomly. I would like to install my previous working (though
outdated) google-chrome-stable but I can not find a copy of the most
recently installed version. Does anyone know where this might be found?

Thanks,
Mike

Not on Wheezy.  You can't get Google Chrome this way any more.

You can't get 64 bit for Wheezy either.

Is your system 32bit by chance? Then there will be now recent Google
Chrome, as Google discontinued the support for 32bit architectures.

My system is 64 bit. I tried downloading from google with:
wget
http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/google-chrome-stable_50.0.2661.102-1_amd64.deb

but I got a 404.

Try
http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_51.0.2704.63-1_amd64.deb

This is the current stable version at the time of me writing this eMail.

Ah, I see. Google compiled Chrome with a newer C++ library and broke
the dependencies for Wheezy.

I guess they waited until Wheezy was no longer supported by Debian
outside of the LTS-Project and then dropped support for it.

I am running Unstable here, so I was not aware of those changes.

Yes, seems that way.

Only Chromium and Firefox remain. Or time to upgrade to Jessie finally.

Sven.

Flash, (Pepperflash,) for Chromium no longer works in Wheezy i386.
Perhaps Opera and/or Vivaldi, (which has HTML5,) may be an
alternative, for awhile longer.

But Mike is on 64bit, so unless Pepperflash as well needs a newer
libstdc++.so.6 as well, it should be still usable on Wheezy.

objdump -x /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
gives the following:

I don't know, if the requirement for GLIBCXX_3.4.10 can be satisfied in
Wheezy.

No, Google does not care about Debian release cycles.  The reason they
stopped supporting Wheezy is because they need a newer C++ compiler and
library with better C++11 support than offered by g++-4.7.

Chromium in Wheezy was EOL'd 16 months ago, for the same reason that
there is no Google Chrome there:

OK, fair enough.

Right, I misremembered and confused a different fact. Google at one time
said it would not intentionally remove the support for 32bit
architectures from the Chromium source, so that Distributions can still
compile it. But this is of course not valid for Google Chrome.

So the only remaining option for Wheezy is Firefox with Flash 11.2
(which is still supported by Adobe).

Again: time to update.

Grüße,
Sven.

Thanks for all the effort. I do not have time to muck around with this.
I restored all my files and my development tree from backups. I back up
daily - and you should too.

I installed the opera browser and it seems to be an ok browser - and
less memory hungry than google chrome stable.

Again, thanks for all the efforts. I am a bit surprised that there is
not an archive of old chrome versions. One would think they would have
the room with all the email account space that they give away.


Best,
Mike

​We both know it isn't a matter of space, i don't think anybody would fancy
another IE6 era.
Bless them for trying to prevent it.

I know that is your decision and you probably considered it, but i'm gonna
give it a try, do you really need to run Wheezy?
​Maybe somebody can help you with any worries regarding the upgrade.​

Hi Samuel,
It is not an issue of need, it is an issue of time. I am the software
engineer / server guy at work, so I use my laptop at work and home. When
I upgraded from Squeeze it tool more than eight hours. I simply do not
have a day to piss away right now. I will do it eventually as time permits.

The computer is my tool, it is not the other way around.

​Just be careful then, because ​the only computer that never needs fixes is
the ones that are never used, and if you stick too long to Wheezy it can
take some time until you realize you're having more work than with
upgrading it (unless we're talking about a server), the browser issues are
the most easily seen.

I am buying a new laptop in February, this one will be eight years old
by then. Then I shall start clean with Jessie.

By next February (9 months away), shouldn't you be thinking of Stretch?  It 
will probably already be full-frozen, and Jessie will be nearly Old Stable.
