What version of Chrome are you running? It needs version 25, which is fairly recent.

Fairly recent? More like bleeding-edge. I saw the same text. I am running Mint 14 (based on Ubuntu 12.10) and my version is 24.0.1312.56.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 proper, and my version is 25.0.1364.152. And the update hasn't been in the last couple of days, either; there's already a Portable Chrome build of 25.0.
Weird, looking at the manifest, I see it asks for permission for "socket": [ "tcp-connect: : " ], but when I try to use that in my own app, I get the message "socket" permissions are only allowed for packaged apps. I am quite frustrated by the confusing mix of extensions vs "legacy" apps vs "hosted" apps vs the newfangled "packaged" apps. The chrome web store is extremely confusing and the documentation is all over t…
It's not that confusing, the only confusing thing IMO is the split between hosted and packaged. I'd rather the CWS only allow packaged apps.

Packaged app: Can be used offline with permissions like a native local app. Think of IPA or APK files.

Google captures greater profits and influence by flogging people its DRM-infested ChromeOS machines for cheap, claiming they are hyper secure. On the face of it, that may be right, but privacy and independence are lost. Victim buyers discover they can't do anything without either paying more money or being online (ie. under surveillance from the GooglePlex).
Could you please elaborate about DRM in ChromeOS?
And unlike Chicken of the VNC, this one actually supports the scrollwheel! (maybe there's some way to get Chicken of the VNC to support the scrollwheel but I didn't find it. I did find "Chicken", a fork of "Chicken of the VNC". It's got various connection bugs.)
No luck with copy and paste from Chrome OSX to Ubuntu 12 but maybe I'm doing it wrong

Oh OK, I didn't actually read those I was just posting the likely link that popped up on a search. Feel free to do your own research then. 'Developer mode' that disables consumption of things you have paid for on a machine that has virtually no storage? Sounds great. Why do you seem to support them?
I did my own research, and i don't see the issue? Yes, developer mode erases the machine for security reasons. I don't see to support them, I do support them on this (I actually am not a fan of chromeos in general), because it is still a huge step forward over almost all available newer "locked" machines available. Your solution is what exactly? It seems they've done the best pragmatic thing they can do here. It enab…
