http://ubuntuforums.org – I just upgraded my 12.04 box to 12.10. I have a few problems: 1) In 12.04 I added google's repo to install chrome. Web apps are not working with chrome for me right now 2) I installed chromium from the software center. Web apps are not working from chromium 3) I opened gmail from firefox. It almost looked like webapps were going to work with firefox as I got a popup from gmail to enable desktop functionality. However, I don't get a gmail icon in sidebar, and none of the webapp integration is present on my ubuntu! 4) I saw in a youtube video that gimp was integrated with unitu (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04.. Webapps not working??

I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 and I'm exited to use the web apps feature but it's not working! I did everything by the book:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webapps/preview sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview

I integrated my online accounts and installed gmail web app on chromium (Version 22.0.1229.94). I got in my password and the magic didn't happen.

I'm on 12.04 32bit using Chromium. I installed Unity Web Apps preview. When i go to Gmail i do not get a Webapps prompt in Chromium. I'm also having this issue with other sites like Facebook. It does work fine for other sites like Youtube, Launchpad and Google Calendar. I would like to get it working at least for Gmail since it's all I would really use this for.

I'm using Google Chrome as default web-browser because i need Flash ang i've installed Firefox back to use with Webapps, because Chromium, that i tried to use before, launched through script, taking Pepper Flash from Chrome, isn't working correctly: Webapps are crashing, clicking on their icons in Launcher or in Messaging menu does nothing and by clicking on web-links from the other applications,

i have installed google chrome and synced with my google account so that i can have everything from other computers here too.

Greetings all,

I have gotten mixed results from the webapps in ubuntu 12.10. I have gotten Facebook and Twitter to work perfectly; however, Gmail does not.

After first installing it, the Gmail webapp did install - it was on the launcher and in the message indicator in the panel. But! it didn't actually function correctly.

When I open Firefox and visit any of the webapp enabled webpages I have installed, I get a launcher icon for them. The same does not appear to be when I use for example Google Chrome. Do webapps only work for Firefox?

So I was just trying out the Ubuntu 12.10 webapps feature, but they don't seem to be working as they should.. I notice a few things that (to me) don't work as intended, or shown of in some video's.

First of all, most of them don't integrate with the messaging menu, even if they should. For example, as far as I heard, the GMail webapp should show in the messaging menu, but it's not there at all.

This little how-to should be of interest to you if you use Gmail, but prefer to run it in a separate window without browser toolbars etc.

Hi

I wanted to try Ubuntus new feature - webapps. If I visit Youtube of Gmail it offers me to install a webapp, but after clicking "install" nothing happens and I can't find installed app anywhere.
