Install fails on Linux chromium browser

[oli44]

hello,

after install, at first launch I got the following:

• *** Important announcement! ***

                                            Due to Chrome's abandonment of NPAPI, we had to move to a newer technology                                                         
                                            called Native Messaging API.                                                                                                       
  
                                            Which is kind of good, because now we fully support Linux!                                                                         
                                            The bad news is that in order to use Devtools Terminal now you have to manually                                                    
                                            install the Node.js proxy.                                                                                                         
  
                                            Don't worry, it's easy, here are some quick instructions to get you going:                                                         
  
                                            * Install Node.js (http://nodejs.org/)                                                                                             
                                            * Open your terminal and run:                                                                                                      
  
                                              npm install -g devtools-terminal                                                                                                 
                                              sudo devtools-terminal --install --id=leakmhneaibbdapdoienlkifomjceknl                                                           
  
                                            Basically, the first command will install the proxy app and the second one will                                                    
                                            tell the Chrome browser where to find it.                                                                                          
  
                                            If it didn't work for you,                                                                                                         
                                            please, report at https://github.com/petethepig/devtools-terminal/issues                                                           
  
                                            Thanks                                                                                                                             
                                                                                       *
  

I followed the instructions (had to sudo the first npm command though, on a fresh mint qiana install), still getting the same error at launch after a reboot.

I am having the same problem on an opensuse 13.2 installation. First had an error and had to install nodejs-devel. But it's still giving me the same issue. Wondering if I have to restart my system(which doesn't make sense)

Had the same issue, after running this command i don't get that error anymore but i don't get a bash prompt either.

cd /etc/chromium
sudo ln -s ../opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/ .

Also having this issue on Archlinux with chromium.

Can confirm though that using the websocket server works as a temporary fix.
