I'm running an ASUS C300 Chromebook (71.0.3578.127 (Official Build) (64-bit)) and I want to set it up like my Windows 7 Development PC. On Win 7 I use TortoiseSVN to connect to my SVN hosted on Assembla and I can update & commit from there.
Is it possible to do the same on Chromebook? Also, is it possible to do it with free / open source software?
I have seen some options around installing Ubuntu and setting things up this way - this is not an option for me.
[Edit] I have also seen ShiftEdit as an option but this is a paid app so not ideal, however, I did try the trial version of ShiftEdit and I was unable to find a way to connect to Assembla, it seemed that it only had Git integration.
It seems, so far, there is no software that runs on Chrome OS that functions like TortoiseSVN - hopefully someone may know of something?
I used a Chromebook several years ago and at that time I was unable to run terminal and therefore I was unable to run the svn client. I guess that your only option is Assembla's SVN web interface (I don't know whether it supports write operations).
Maybe, there is some addon or extension for Chrome that adds some cloud IDE-like capabilities with SVN client commands, but I don't remember seeing such a product.
I don't use a Chromebook but it seems that ShiftEdit - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shiftedit/lcgmndephhjcabhhjfcmncnhbmgbkpij?hl=en-US seems to do as you wish.

How do I download MySQL “Connector/J 5.1.48” platform-independent on macOS Mojave? There is a project I’m working on and I need this specific connector to work on my computer because there’s a specific Android Studio related project I need it for. When I try downloading it, I get an error message. Just in case it’s not possible, are there any other database replacement options that work well with Android Studio that are simple to implement on macOS?
Link to Connector/J 5.1.48: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html
Thanks.
JAR files already are platform independent... They are not executable
I'm not sure how your error is specific to Android Studio, but mobile apps should not be directly querying a Mysql database, but rather reaching a web API that exposes database results over HTTP
And even if you did want to use mysql drivers in an Android app, you'd add those with Gradle, not JARs
That being said, MacOS isn't the issue either, and there's plenty of database replacements for Mysql
I need to emulate an older version of chrome. I want to avoid the solution where I have to uninstall the current version and install the desired one each time I need to test my app. I came across this article but it doesn't quite answer my question. Thank you!
It's not possible to emulate older versions of Chrome from within DevTools, as is possible in IE. It's not very reliable to emulate them anyway. I've used IE 8 emulator in the past, and on occasion it has provided different results from the version I installed on an XP VM.
In theory, it should be possible to install multiple Chrome instances side-by-side because the installation directory is OS user based. However, I don't think the installations are fully isolated from one another. At least in Windows, the application would likely write to the same registry keys. In OSX, you might be alright, provided you modify the user directory path.
An alternative solution would be trying the portable versions of Chrome that appear over the Internet, usually illegally. Everything is self contained in a directory, but it will likely perform differently from normal installations. Check out PortableApps.
I think the best solution would be to set up some VMs for the different environments and browsers you want to test with. You can manually set up these, using VirtualBox or similar. Many hosted providers will allow you to spin up fresh VMs with automated tasks to install applications and services. You have to pay for these though.
If you just need to check what server returns for old browsers (not full emulation), you can set User-Agent in Network Conditions (for now, chrome 67).
Just for completeness, here is a link (September 2021) that provides historical snapshots of the 'chromium' browser, sorted per operating system and per 'position'. I needed this when I had to test on an 8-year old version of Chrome(~ium)

I have found the following link which contains links to previous Google Chrome Versions (32bit, 64bit and Linux).

Just found out that different versions of Google Chrome can be installed.
You will have to uninstall your existing version.
Download the package from here - https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
Follow the instructions and install.
Hope this helps someone. The downside is you have to uninstall your current version.
Cheers!
Today you can run Windows Sandbox to avoid installing malicious programs. (Windows Professional or Enterprise Edition is required).

While I don't have a way to emulate a different version, I did find a way to have a current and an old version installed at the same time. For the 'current' version I installed Chrome Beta. Then I set the regular version of Chrome to the older version I needed.
Google's docs didn't put all the information in one place, so here are the steps for a normal Chrome user in Windows 10:
Download the Google Update policy template (alternatively Chrome Enterprise also contains the files you'll need) and unzip it.
Copy the .admx and .adml files into %systemroot%/PolicyDefinitions (.admx files go there and .adml in the language subfolder (en-US) as found in the zip you downloaded)
Open Group Policy editor and the required settings now exist
In Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Google->Google Update->Applications->Google Chrome,
set Rollback to target version to enabled
set the Target version prefix override to enabled and your desired version
(e.g. 86. for version 86)
Finally open Chrome, go to Settings->About and let it check for updates. Chrome will automatically download the target version and prompt you to restart.
Do note that this deletes local user profiles and recreates them from remote including redownloading browser extensions, so use with caution. Remember to go back to the normal version of Chrome by unsetting the Group Policy settings and letting Chrome update itself when you're done.
I have tried removing it from the extensions section in Chrome settings, but it reappears every time I reopen Chrome. My computer runs on Windows 7 Ultimate
As you haven't specified, I assume, you are using Windows OS. It is a potential malware. You have to uninstall the program explicitly from control panel and then restart chrome. It should work. If it doesn't work, then you might have to scan your system by some good anti-virus like kaspersky or avast.
You should download Microsoft Security Essentials (or another similar anti-virus program) I've used MSE in the past and it works well (without noticeably slowing down your system) there are no up-sells with it either (like you'll get w McAfee or Norton antivirus).
Just go to Google, search Microsoft Security Essentials. Then download and install the latest version (for Windows 7 32-bit)
It's free and should get rid of this program (looks like Malware to me).

I'm facing problem in installing Pligg on localhost(xampp). It seem to install successfully but does not login, as the page freezes. If anyone is familiar with this problem, please suggest me how to fix it. thanks.
Yes this problem is very very common. I similarly have this issue, even to this day. I've tried installation on Windows XP, Vista, and 7, all have failed.
The only way I'm able to work on Pligg is installing directly onto my hosting server. There I don't get any problems, go through the install process and access my site. Check out this quick google search as many of the top links from forums.pligg.com may offer a solution.
Unfortunately though, I haven't found one. To this day I still deploy my Pligg launches onto the server in a sandbox before going live.
I recommend using WAMP Server (Windows) or MAMP (Mac) for testing Pligg locally. I know for certain that both are working fine with the current version of Pligg CMS. I believe that I had some issues when I tried XAMPP years ago, so it may have some default setting that Pligg just doesn't agree with.
We are in the process of upgrading from Windows XP x86 to Windows 7 x64, and I'm testing for compatibility problems with our current workflow.
Currently, we store central Mercurial repositories on a network share, clone copies to our workstations, and push our changes back to the network-based repositories. This works perfectly in WinXP, but in Win7 I consistently get an error message when pushing back to the network share:
pushing to t:\datamgt\automat\Kevin\SampleRepo
searching for changes
[Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'T:\datamgt\automat\Kevin\SampleRepo\.hg\journal.dirstate'
I'm using TortoiseHG 1.1.1 and Mercurial 1.6.1023.
I've been able to push to repositories stored on the same workstation, but not to the network share repo. If possible, we'd prefer not to go to a webserver-based repository - it's an up-hill fight to get new software added to our servers.
Pushing to a network share is possible, but not recommended by the Mercurial team.
See the "shared disk" part in Publishing Repositories in the Mercurial wiki:
generally restricted to intranets, not
generally recommended due to general
issues with network filesystem
reliability
At my workplace, we are keeping our HG repositories on a network share (on a Windows 2003 server) as well because it was the easiest to set up. We're doing this for about one and a half year now, and we never had problems like yours.
But at home, I have a network share on a NAS (it's accessible from Windows and it looks and feels like a Windows share, but the NAS actually runs on Linux). I had no problems for a long time, but since a few weeks I'm having similar errors like you (with a different error message though).
I posted this on the Mercurial bug tracker, and I was told that my problem is probably caused by the fact that my NAS runs on Linux, because they don't know of any problems with real Windows shares:
On real Windows shares (served by
Windows) there doesn't seem to be a
problem (never heard of others having
problems doing that).
So maybe your problem is caused by something similar as well.
What kind of Windows share is it that you try to push to? Is it really on a Windows machine?
