https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hello.I'm having a little problem with Google Chrome. Made package from AUR.Everything is working fine, but I can't get chrome to open any files it downloads, I have to manually go to the downloaded file and open it.I'm sure the answer is trivial, I just can't figure it out.Anyone know? twilightbeach43 https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=66816 2012-12-23T07:31:37Z (HowTos)

Stories similar to Google Chrome can't open downloaded files

Hi,the google-talkplugin in combination with the google-chrome-dev I am affecting an 100%+ CPU usage of the pluginwhen starting a google+ hangout. The small webcam preview comes with very bad resolution and the hangout is unusablewith this high cpu usage.

Download a torrent file, and then click the arrow next to it in the downloads bar and select "Always open files of this type". Is this what you were looking for?

My os is ArchLinux with KDE. Thands for your help.

Google Chrome switches. 34 weeks 1 day ago

Nah, I can't find anything.I grepped the whole filesystem for "CHROME", this is insane. So, is it okay to use google-chrome for the launcher and create an alias with the switches?

Is it possible that chrome stores its files in another folder? If so, you had a clean start of chrome, whereas chromium has a long browsing history etc. So please start chromium with a clean config and see if there's still a difference.

I have this problem as well. I have tried installing jre from the AUR and also java 6 instead of 7, but to no avail.*Edit* After posting this I noticed my version of google-chrome was out of date, upon updating chrome the problem was fixed.

chromium leaving zombies 11 weeks 2 days ago

The same is happening with Google Chrome Dev on AUR so it's probably not a package problem, i always need to kill the "chrome" process and also "Chrome_ProcessL", it's getting annoying.

I am using google chrome (not chromium) in ubuntu 11.10. I have installed all bangla fonts, set encode to unicode and set bangla font in chrome. It shows all bangla fonts excepts facebook profile name. Chrome show blank box instead of facebook bangla profile name. But it shows the bangla profile name in title bar. What kind of problem is this?
