Hi John, >> I personally don't use nor do I feel a need for sandboxing. > It's a nice security feature I think. > Essential when running Windows but nice to have with Linux. Now that the world as we know (and love) it is still around, I could be more amenable to soften my stance. I may soon cave in to the pressure of being hit with this message << ... Running without the SUID sandbox! See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for more information on developing with the sandbox on. >> on each chrome start-up. Also, on a quick, informal survey, my neighbors seemed quite impressed by my pledge to run everything from a sandbox like grownups "real soon". ------ >> Speaking of Windows, I think Linux is running far behind. > Now there's a provocative statement! If you mean it's far behind > Windows 8 - well let's not go there. We'll talk about that when I buy me a Windows 8 tablet. ------ [> sorry, I should have mentioned that. > I installed Version 25.0.1364.0 (173496)] > I get these: > [2836:2859:1221/113644:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(624)] Failed to get name owner.

To recap, in my issue 156369, my main bitch was << On any start-up "specific" page you get the error: [904:904:1017/104810:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(495)] Failed to call method: org.chromium.Mtpd.EnumerateStorage: object_path= /org/chromium/Mtpd: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.chromium.Mtpd was not provided by any .service files >> The last comment from chrome people, _Oct 18, 2012_ was << This may go away for you in the near future once the MTP daemon is working and packaged with Google Chrome Linux. Since you are on dev / unstable channel, there's things like this that are work in progress. >> If even the prospect of an impending end of the world didn't make them "package" MTP, I'm afraid nothing will. So, in short, the only controversy here might be: 1. Is "far" > 2 months or > 2 years ? 2. Is "near future" > 2 months or > 2 years ? ------ Thank you for your words, -- Alex -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
