=================================
Have tried this under both 32 and 64bit installs, slightly different
behaviour. My concern is with the 32bit build, so I will focus on that,
with a footnote on 64bit.
On a 32bit netbook (Acer AspireOne) I have LinuxMint 18.1 (Ubuntu
16.04-based) with the Chromium browser installed. I have installed the
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-docs-
offline/ghbmnnjooekpmoecnnnilnnbdlolhkhi"Google Docs Offline" extension
into the browser, and restarted the browser (multiple tries installing &
uninstalling, to make sure there wasn't a failure in the install).
Extension is at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-docs-
offline/ghbmnnjooekpmoecnnnilnnbdlolhkhi
According to directions I should make sure offline sync is enabled in
Google Drive (which it is), and then make sure they are enabled in the
settings for Google Docs. Once that is enabled I should have an option
in each document's preferences to save offline.
Expected:
I should be able to enable the offline function in Google Docs by moving the
switch to active. After that I should be able to mark a document for offline
synchronization.
What Happened:
The setting in Google Drive is checked as enabled. However, when I go to the
settings screen for Google Docs, the 'slider' to enable the option is stuck in
a half-way position (neither off nor on). Consequentially the offline sync
option will not be available for the document.
-----------------
I had tried this with the 64bit version on another system (same Mint
18.1 on a 64bit system). Same chromium version as above. It actually
enables the option and lets me sync a document, and I can do an offline
edit (disabling the network to test). However, it will only work for a
couple exits/restarts of the browser, at which point it will disable
itself. Strange behaviour in itself; perhaps related or not, just put
here in case it's relevant.
I have tried this on the official Google Chrome (58.0.3029.96-1) on the
same 64bit system and it works no problem. Obviously I cannot do the
comparable test on 32bit (no 32bit Linux can be found anywhere, Google
wiped out every copy in existence).
