How to Get Chromium Browser Port on Nokia N900
Posted on 09. Apr, 2010 by Daniel Cawrey in Tips
Now, this is what i like to see.
For anyone with some time and perserverance, you can put an open source browser on a mobile phone. Sure, it may not work perfectly, but its a start. That’s why when someone puts Chromium on a Nokia N900 phone – which is running the open source Linux-based Debian operating system, you’ve got to put the instructions up, right?
These points are included in the readme:
- This package doesn’t work with app manager – you have to install them using dpkg in console
- Chromium should work with libxss from extras-devel repo or libxss from here
- Note: If you use extras-devel repo version you will have to use some –force when installing chromium
Installing Through X-terminal in N900:
- Download these files to root directory in Nokia N900 then
- Type root
- type cd /home/user/MyDocs/ dpkg -i name-of-the-lib-file.deb
- dpkg -i name-of-the-chromefile.deb
