NaCL is missing

This is becoming more of an issue now that NACL is becoming a somewhat popular platform. Unless this is already being monitored, it might be worth re-examining whether NACL builds fine on current Chromium versions (such as available in the beta, dev and daily PPAs) now, so that there can be support in Precise?

as NaCl is its own toolchain, and upstream ships it by shipping a binary version of it, which is not OK IMHO.

Someone would need to contribute, and maintain bootstrap build support for NaCl, so it can be built entirely from packages in the main archive from source.

Just ran into this problem today myself...hope they can add real NaCl support at some point. Or possibly repackage the google releases as rpm's instead?

Not including NaCL has accessibility implications as well. It is currently not possible for users to install and use the ChromeVox extension to provide web accessibility and screen reading of web pages via the use of Chrome.

Google is pushing NaCl apps, we are missing out:

Is there any new son this. Seems to be a share that Ubuntu should be the only distro which does not ship NaCL with chromium and thus forcing users to use Google Chrome.

I am interested in this one as well. Any news on including NaCL support in Ubuntu's Chromium builds?

any updates?

lucid has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the lucid task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

The very same problem still occurrs, even on 14.10 edition (Utopic). Seriously??? This is certainly not LOW priority, as Chromium is default browser for Ubuntu!

> as Chromium is default browser for Ubuntu!

It is not?

Is there an inofficial Chromium built for Ubuntu with enabled NaCL?

@Robert: "... building the Native Client plugin into Chromium requires the use of a separate toolchain. While the toolchain is open-source, I'm having some trouble building it locally. When I do have it built successfully, I'll include Native Client using that toolchain."

On the other hand, those builds do not have API keys (can't use e.g. Chrome Sync).

Dear Timo,

Thanks for your comment. I need Chrome Sync as much as I need NaCL support.

Thus the best solution I see for now is to use both, Ubuntu Chromium built (Chrome Sync) and Chrome (for NaCL).

Warmly,

Robert

Chromium with Native Client is now working for Trusty and newer on both the Chromium Beta and Dev PPAs.

As for the API keys, yes, there are no API keys included in this build, but there are instructions on how to add in API keys. Note that you need to have a Google account.

Dear @saiarcot895,

Thanks for your work!

Just to clarify. If I were to install this version, then NACL would work out of the box. However, Google Account Sync would not be supported out of the box, correct?

How difficult is the process of adding own API keys?

Thankfully,

~ Robert

Correct.

I don't think it's too hard. Getting and adding API keys should take about 15-20 minutes. The steps are outlined in the PPA description, and the process of getting the API keys is outlined at https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys.

In your case, you only need to enable the Chrome Sync API if that's all you want to use.

Excellent. Thank you very much for your guidance!

Robert

Still valid. The packages are built with enable_nacl=false.

So I am unclear: Is there any way to get Native Client to work with Chromium?

Most information on the internet (for one example https://askubuntu.com/questions/91789/why-is-nacl-disabled-for-chromium) makes it seem like it doesn't work.

If I install it from the Beta channel than Native Client will work but Google Sync will not?

Don't bother with NaCL, it is deprecated and will be removed from chrome/chromium in Q1 2018. Use WASM (that is already supported by chromium-browser)
