Thanks for the info. I installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer, but still got the same problem. No idea what's going wrong under the hood.

I have a similar issue with my build of chromium on Gentoo. Some pages load... like google.com and phononix.com, and others dont... like forums.gentoo.org and mail.google.com I havent really spend much time trying to figure this out since I just figured the project wasnt close to being done but if these pages are supposed to work I will look into it more.. -Ryan On 3/25/09, Adam Langley a...@chromium.org wrote: On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 6:08 PM, fta f...@sofaraway.org wrote: thing as a mandatory dep.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxBuildInstructionsPrerequisites is the canonical list. To get a useful product as quickly as possible, we've been targeting one particular release (Ubuntu Hardy). Once we have a working browser we of course intend to spend the time to track down glitches on all systems. In the interim, if you can figure out what is wrong I'd love a patch (or even a fix to those docs).

I first tried the latest .deb package from http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/?O=D. It installs fine, but I only get the chrome, i.e. the tab strip and the menu. Whenever I navigate to any URL, the title is updated, but nothing shows in the browser body. I also get tons of Not implemented reached in ... messages on the console. I am suspecting that some libraries are incompatible, but I cannot figure out which. I also tried the Ubuntu package for Intrepid from https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa, but got the same result.
