Comment #16 on issue 977 by shannon.jacobs: Update fails on Linux/Firefox
(incompatible build type)
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=977
I see it's already a month since I reported it as an OLD issue. Now it
seems to be
complaining about twice per login. However, I haven't seen it on several
other
machines, so I don't think it's that widespread. I think this means that
Google Gears
is only installed in unusual cases, but I don't know why that particular
machine has
installed it.
For what it is worth, I just checked this machine, where I have Ubuntu 9.10
running
in VMware Player. Everything seems to be running normally there, but Google
Gears is
evidently NOT installed there. Ditto for the Firefox 3.5.6 running in the
host
Windows XP.
I don't really care if this is just more evidence of Google's trend to evil
greed or
simple incompetence, but I'm tired of the warnings and the repeated 2.7-MB
downloads
to no avail. Is there any reason not to uninstall Google Gears completely
from that
machine? Will I encounter some kind of crisis if I try to load some webpage
that
still needs Google Gears (which is evidently no longer supported for Linux)?
