The nightly builds of Google Chrome’s open-source foundation, Chromium, includes a feature that might mean great things for Greasemonkey fans. Click on a user script file, such as at UserScripts.org, and Chromium asks to install it as a working extension.

Judging from the developers’ discussions at the Chromium wiki, Greasemonkey, or at least some kind of user script support beyond the current, very geeky installation method has been a hot topic. The latest builds tackle user script support by re-mapping them into extensions, automatically activated at their relevant sites. You can give it a test by installing the latest Chromium build in Windows. We’ll assume this feature will make its way very soon to those keeping updated on Chromium builds for Mac and Linux.

Before you get too amped, though, it must be said that support is still rudimentary. Scripts that mostly replace one thing on a page with another seem to work fine, but those that pull off custom themes and page manipulations are touch and go. In other words, the more Greasemonkey-specific functions appear in a script, the less likely it is to work in Chromium. That said, it’s reassuring to see some of the great Grease realm opened up to the up-and-coming browser.

TechCrunch’s MG Siegler got all excited over the weekend about the appearance of a Chrome OS build folder on Google’s Chromium.org server. Yes, the snapshots are now being posted – actually, they have been since October 5th, by the look of things – but there’s nothing to get excited about just yet. Sorry, MG.

For starters, what’s in the folder is what’s in the other top level folders – a browser build for a specific OS. This isn’t Chrome OS per se, it’s the Google Chrome browser build for Google’s upcoming OS. You know, like the Mac, Windows, and Linux versions available for download from the very same server.

But let’s move on. Assuming you’re the easily excited type, the screen above shows what you get when building Chrome for Chrome OS versus Chrome on Linux. My thanks to Johnathan Frederickson, who commented on the TC post and actually played around with Google’s .deb packages.

As you can see, there’s really not much to look at apart from the clock and the little circle in the top left corner.
When clicked, the circle takes you to a sign-on page, currently only available internally to Google staffers in all probability. I’ll wager that has something to do with the single sign-on cookie we read about a while back.

In this article we will look at tools that can help those of you who want to develop websites on a Linux platform, from powerful text editors to desktop and system features. How do you edit files remotely without FTP plug-ins? What are package managers, and why they are cool? In which Web browsers can you test your applications?

I wish I could cover many more topics: using the command line, basics of Vim, Nautilus features in detail, Nautilus scripting, neat command line tools, basic server configuration and many others. But if I addressed all of the issues that arise from time to time on the Internet, this article would turn into a small book. This isn’t an article on “How to do X or Y on Linux” or “How to use [insert app name here].” And we cannot cover more comprehensive IDEs such as Eclipse and NetBeans, each of which requires separate articles.

You probably already have some idea of how to find and install applications for your favorite distros. However, we will point you to the right place anyway to download, for example, scripts and plug-ins.

So, let’s begin!

1. Our Tools

Below, for your quick reference, is a list of tools that we will mention or explain in this article.

Text Editors:

  • Gedit
  • Geany

Browsers:

  • Opera
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Epiphany (with the WebKit engine)
  • Chromium (for some other WebKit examples)

General and command line tools:

  • FUSE
  • SSHFS
  • Vim
  • Parcellite

2. Gedit

Gedit is the default and simplest text editor for the GNOME environment. The default installation already comes with some good resources, although not all of them are activated by default. It is bundled with some plug-ins; however, you can add many more plug-ins to make it a nice simple IDE. If you go to Edit > Preferences > Plugins, you’ll see which plug-ins are installed by default. There, you can configure and activate them. On the same screen, you can configure other elements of the text editor, such as indentation, line numbering and current line highlighting.

Xmarks for Firefox

Sure, Google began rolling out the ability to synchronize your bookmarks across various instances of the Google Chrome browser yesterday. And that means you can make sure that your bookmarks are up to date on your home and work computers, as well as your netbook, home theater PC, and any other machines you happen to have that are running Google Chrome. But what if you want to keep your Chrome bookmarks synchronized with your Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari bookmarks?

Xmarks makes a popular plugin for those browsers that lets you not only backup and synchronize your bookmarks, but also your saved passwords. That means you can create a bookmark or save your login and password information for a site in Firefox on one computer, load Internet Explorer on the same PC or another, and have the same passwords and bookmarks.

And now Xmarks is working on a Google Chrome plugin. Of course, the stable version of Chrome doesn’t support plugins yet, so you’ll need to use the developer channel version of Chrome. If you’re already using Chrome, one of the easiest ways to switch channels is to use the Google Channel Changer and then when Chrome checks for updates it will install the latest developer build.

Xmarks for Chrome is still in the early alpha stages. You can sign up to request an invitation. But you should keep in mind that we’re talking about using a pre-release plugin on a pre-release browser, so don’t expect a flawless user experience at this point.

Though you can now enable Flash on Google Chrome for Mac, the Linux still doesn’t have support. However, if you’re willing to run Chromium instead of the official Google build, you’re in luck.

Using a current version of Chromium from Launchpad, adding Flash to the speedy browser is a breeze. As detailed here, a couple minutes in terminal is all it takes. Follow the steps, and at long last you’ll be able to blow your day in Chromium on Linux browsing pointless YouTube videos and racking up high scores in your favorite Time Wasters!

Personally, the inability to run Flash video and games in Chromium wasn’t a major concern. Not being able to utilize Flash-based controls on certain websites, however, was a giant pain in the ass – and it’s nice to have that sorted out.

Now that my love affair with Chromium on my linux machine is past that spark stage, I’m reallizing some serious missing functions.

PRINT!!! You just can’t print, unless I’m doing something wrong. Right clicking, then clicking print does nothing. Javascript print buttons on web pages do nothing. Hell, there’s no option to at least save the dam page!

Just had to rant, but I forsee a bitter brake up if this isnt resolved in new build snapshots.

Happy to report that the auto updating went according to plan.

The AutoUpdating is nice but would be really interesting to know what has changed.

Finaly got Chromium running on my Ubuntu 8.04 Machine.

You could download it from http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/

Below is a script that will download the current Chromium build and get it ready to run.

Theres not much to it, but it automates the process.

6/1/09 Update – I noticed that CRON ran in the user directory, so I fixed that.  Also added an rm to remove any old downloaded zips.  I ran the CRON job manualy and it works.  So we’ll see tomorrow to see if it works.

#CODE START

#!/bin/sh

#Buy Shai Perednik 5/29/09

#Change directory

cd /home/shai/Chromium

#Delete any existing LATEST files

rm LATEST

#Delete any old Chromium Zip Downloads

rm chrome-linux.zip*

#Download the LATEST file that contains the newest chromium build for linux

wget http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/LATEST

#reads the last line of LATEST file

VAL=`cat LATEST |cut -f1`

#Download the latest Snapshot

wget “http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/$VAL/chrome-linux.zip”

#Kill Any Existing Chrome Proceses

killall gchrome

#Extract the archive

unzip -o chrome-linux

#Make the chrome file executable

chmod +x chrome-linux/chrome

#End Code
