Bump for Google Chrome fix for #!

Thanks Jobester, I've been trying to figure this out for a while.

Problem: [9885:9899:774290913327:FATAL:/usr/local/google/b/slave/chrome-official-linux/build/src/base/nss_util.cc(84)] Check failed: NSS_VersionCheck("3.12.3"). We depend on NSS >= 3.12.3
Trace/breakpoint trap

Note to my noobie self:

Fix:

1.  Open up terminal, copy and paste the following script to add repository (from Medibuntu community documentation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu):

sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update

2.  Make sure all dependencies are installed by running in terminal

sudo apt-get -f install 


Type Y when prompted to update.

3.  Download Google Chrome into downloads folder.  Navigate to /downloads in terminal and type

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-beta_current_i386.deb

4.  Type the following in the terminal to update dependency.

sudo apt-get install libnspr4-0d

5.  Go to Preferences > Openbox Config > Edit Menu.xml and add the following entry under

<menu id="net" label="Internet">

:

<item label="Google Chrome">
                <action name="Execute">
                    <execute>
                        google-chrome
                    </execute>
                </action>
            </item>

Save the file

6. Go to Preferences > Openbox Config > Restart

Sorry, I know you were looking for some help with VB, but I just wanted to add true BMI isn't tally'd against only Weight and Height.  There are 4 critierias of measurement:

Weight
Height in inches
Waistline in inches (measurement around the belly button area)
Neck / Collar in inches

There is a BMI chart for the 4 criterias above.  The military uses it.

Yes, I definately agree.  My uptime now has been 1d 23h 6m and I didn't have to reboot yet.  This is a very good thing, heh.

Welcome back.

Fire up jockey-gtk via the menu under System > Restricted Device Manager. Install the closed source nvidia card and you should be good to go. Development on the open source Nvidia cards is on the move, but for now I've always had better experience with the closed source drivers.

If you want the newest Nvidia drivers--which i recommend--see the "quick reference" at the top of the forum about installing nvidia drivers from their website.

Outstanding.  I'll give that a try.  Thank you.

Is it me or does linux have problems with nvidia cards?  I've installed ubuntu on my laptop w/ the nvidia card, it's really choppy.  Wiped the Ubuntu distro and installed #! and still a no-go.  Basically when I drag windows around, it's a bit choppy.  Videos on youtube may stream ok for a second, then it starts to get choppy as well.  I haven't tried a DVD movie yet, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be choppy.

My desktop (which is much older) is using an ATI video card and everything seems to be working great.

Anyone else had problems with their nvidia cards?

Kind of ran into this website researching video drivers (blew up my video drivers for my Ubuntu box) saw some screenshots of #! and thought, hey, this looks pretty freakn' awesome!  So I'm downloading the .iso as we speak and I'm planning on rebuilding my pc with #!, registered onto these forums, and hopefully everything will work out.   We'll see ya around.
