Hey you Dude !

Your`re speaking a mysterious Lingo ......what the hell you`re babbling/talking about

[dancytron]

Please Help sum more getting Chrome working, I Never did get it going a month or so B-4, being Distracted by Life, I've Followed Dancytrons ReadMe instructions...

How hard can it be? 2 Plagerize Jeremy Clarkson

1. Rename the files to remove the *.gz.
2. Right click on each file, choose permissions, and make it executable by anyone.
3. That should do it, just click on the file and it should work. The puppy one will only work if you install gksu.

If that doesn't work, open the root one in a text editor, and then copy and paste the command line into a terminal window and see if that works, and then report back any error you get.

Thanx Dancytron, Here it is...

You are using an older version? I guess you have to be because it is 32 bit.

Try deleting just the "--no-sandbox" part and try it again.

Also, what version are you using?

edit: Sometime, I'm not sure exactly when, they switched from just needing to specify the user-data-directory to run as root to needing the --no-sandbox tag. I think whatever version you are using must be before the cut off date.

Thanx Dancytron 4 your Dedication, the Version that I'm Using is 48 the Last 32 bit Release that yoU Posted the Link 2 a While back on this Thread. Should I or Could I Use the Current 64 bit Model?

Also Once this is Done I intend 2 Remaster it Creating a Similar & Updated KromeBook 2 wot ETP has
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 0&start=45

This is intended 4 Older UnWtd Hardware, But Re-instated w/ a Familiar ( 4 the Kids ), Look & Feel ( But maybe Compromising the Behaviour ) of a KromeBook that they Use @ Skool. I Hope Eventually it Leads them 2wards Puppy & Linux rather than ChromeOS.

So 2 that eNd, According 2 ETPs Recipe, I Need 2 Revert back 2 OpenBox & LX Panel...
Will this be Possible Once Chrome is DeBugged?

[dancytron]

A quick internet search makes me think it is a corrupted user profile. Maybe from all the failed attempts.

Try deleting /root/chrome and trying again.

Hi Zagreb !

Maybe look for qpdfview .....good Pdf Viewer .(in Synaptic ).

Maybe try to make a portable App from it .....with ApToSfs and/or fred`s new
" create-portable " App App ....to avoid installing .
To create AppImages .

Go look for it here ....quite convenient ..

Hi zagreb999,

Foxitreader is good, but masterpdfeditor is better. rufwoof touted it often so I decided to try it. Find it here: https://code-industry.net/get-masterpdfeditor/. I use both, foxitreder for "reading", masterpdfeditor for serious work. It enabled me to completely cut free of Windows, The last string was to do taxes. Fortunately, my income and deductible expenses are pretty much the same from year to year. So I created a spreadsheet to do the comp. Both the Federal and my State tax return forms can be downloaded as editable pdfs. That's there masterpdfeditor came in.

Masterpdf reader required libsane plus Qt installed to run. Either 4,8 or 5.

libsane.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsane.so.1 (0x00007fb0f27a0000)
libQt5PrintSupport.so.5 => /usr/lib/libQt5PrintSupport.so.5 (0x00007fb0f253b000)
libQt5Svg.so.5 => /usr/lib/libQt5Svg.so.5 (0x00007fb0f22ee000)
libQt5Widgets.so.5 => /usr/lib/libQt5Widgets.so.5 (0x00007fb0f1ac5000)
libQt5Network.so.5 => /usr/lib/libQt5Network.so.5 (0x00007fb0f1781000)
libQt5Gui.so.5 => /usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5 (0x00007fb0f1133000)
libQt5Core.so.5 => /usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5 (0x00007fb0f0a8d000)

I run both foxitreader and masterpdfeditor as "program folders" -- unpacked on /mnt/home and started by clicking their executables. File-browsing to get to masterpdfeditor's executable is particularly annoying. So for most Puppies and "Dog" I create a menu entry. In one of the dogs, I forget which, for some reason, I couldn't get the menu entries to display. So I just created a script file to call it.

G'day Dancytron, I Deleted Both chrome Directories as instructed & then Re installed, & then Copied & Pasted the Commands in2 RoxTerm ( See the Output ScreenShot ) ( which Looks Much the Same as B4 )

But then I Did All that again After ReBooting Not saving the Session & Got a Different Error Message ( as Seen in the 2nd ScreenShot ) that I've Searched the i'Net 4 the answer, But I just can't get Me Head around this Can of Worms or maybe it's Just that I'm having a Bad Hair Day?

[dancytron]

Well, from the first screen, there is something that is not installing properly.

Other than that, I'm sorry to say that I am stumped. Sorry.

Fred, any ideas????????

[Max Headroom]

Should I or Could I Use the Current 64 bit Chrome?

Hi Max,

Looking at your first screenshot, the message you see "mesg: ttyname failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device" is nothing to worry about, it has not to do with the package management, just has something to do with calling Xterm to show the output (to be honest I don't know exactly what or why, but I never had a problem with installed .deb packages this way)
If you'd install directly in Roxterm using "dpkg -i" there are no such messages:

Code: Select all

root@xenial:~# dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_48.0.2564.116-1_i386.deb

About the google-chrome i386 error messages, to get rid of them: install upower and bluez :

Code: Select all

apt-get install upower bluez

However google-chrome i386 works OK for me without installing these packages.
Not really recommended, btw, to use such an old version, but you can run latest version only on a 64-bit system.
Maybe better install Chromium ? It's still developed for 32-bit.

Run

Code: Select all

apt-get update

then run

Code: Select all

apt-get -f install

from terminal. That should fix all the broken dependencies. We should have told you that somewhere higher up on the page.

HI BACKI,

DO YOU KNOW TO
ACTIVATE ZRAM IN
XENIALDOG?

THANKS.

[backi]

Hi !

Yes i do ......Just install with Synaptic:
zram-config............reboot .
That`s it .
But if you have more than 2 gigs of ram it does not make much Sense .
