Maybe 'libnss3' and 'libnspr4' need to be updated.

The 1st post of this thread suggest where these are. BUT, they cannot be referenced by http. AND, they are NOT provided via the Slacko PPM.

I've got no experience of PhatSlacko, only the standard Slacko, but those libs are inside the Firefox directory (which is added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH by /etc/profile so they should be found). If Chrome is not working because they are too old, updating your Firefox should cure that.

I am getting low res fonts in google search pages. This was not a issue from another chrome 32 that I have installed on my same laptop running puppy precise 5.7.1.

Here is the pic of how the affected page looks like. Almost every site is affected by this. The font is low res and mono. I don't know why, but it just is :

The fonts on many pages are really low res. What can I do to fix that. As for now I am reverting to the older Chrome 32 from some .pet that I am running, but please tell me how to fix this as your chrome portable is the only way to have the latest Google chrome installed on Puppy Linux.

Anyone else having this problem as mine?

untrue.

use
chrome33 pet
plus
google chrome fixator pet.

those two should work together to do what you want on any modern puppy.
(presently i have chrome33 running on precise 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7.)

hth (and i'm not sure why it wouldn't, though i can remember the jump from 28-31 being rough on the 5.5 install.)

Add required libraries so that it works with any Precise Puppy and Slacko.

I have a test machine that I use for testing differing version of Slakco. In that system, I have a HDD which is available as /mnt/home upon boot. I have "Portable" installed on this version of Slacko.

When testing a new version of Slacko,what are the recommended steps for the new version to use the Portable installed on /mnt/home by the prior Slacko? (assume the new version boots pfix ram)

With these "portable" subsystems, is there a script that exist somewhere which will attach all the subsystems in a "portable folder" to a new PUP?

Thanks, in advance, for advice on using a single portable location for all future Slacko testing.

Using Portable Google Chrome on multiple Puppy

Posted: Tue 01 Jul 2014, 06:42

Once you build the Google Chrome on any Puppy, You can run it from any other (Precise or Slacko) Puppy just clicking the google-chrome-portable. It runs with the same settings and bookmarks.

To register on the new Puppy, right click the google-chrome-portable folder and select 'Register on the Puppy menu' if you want to. Or click the executable 'Register' in the folder.

Thanks for that guidance. This is probably published somewhere, but I could not find it.

Attempting portable Chrome after portable Seamonkey fails

Posted: Sun 20 Jul 2014, 00:31
by gcmartin
I have a Live media PhatSlacko running. I have successfully installed a portable Seamonkey V0.4 moments ago,and am now trying to install a portable Chrome V0.7. It does NOT pull the Chrome from the web. Instead, the following terminal window shows what happens when Chrome portable installation is attempted. Seems the prior portable SeaMonkey has left some settings which negates this portable to complete successfully.

Code: Select all

# mkdir -p /mnt/home/apps/portable
# /initrd/mnt/dev_save/apps/portable/google-chrome-portable-0.7/google-chrome-portable
google-chrome-portable:/initrd/mnt/dev_save/apps/portable/google-chrome-portable-0.7/google-chrome-portable

OK, a recap to show path taken yesterday and today:
  1. Started with Seamonkey
    1. Download Seamonkey Installer from Shino webpage
    2. Read its README
    3. Created a folder path in /mnt/home
    4. Installed Seamonkey allowing the auto-installer to download and complete
    5. Seamonkey is started and running
  2. Onto Chrome
    1. Downloaded Chrome Installer from Shino webpage
    2. Read its README noting differences in steps
    3. Created a folder path in /mnt/home
    4. Launched the installer
    5. Failure noted from before where Installer would not advance
  3. Today
    1. Restarted desktop with nothing running
    2. Open terminal and launched Chrome Installer as was done yesterday
    3. Installer progressed further, Open a browser for me and waited for my selection after download browser indicated download installation success.
    4. Mnually close the browser and installer kicked back to life
    5. Dragged the Chrome DEB to installer Window
    6. Installer progress indicating successful installation and offered to start Chrome
    7. I took the offer and it failed with window shown below
    8. tried the Menu and it, too, failed with same window.
      And tried the path from a terminal window getting same failure.
    Note: see "Try to RUN Chrome from a terminal.txt.fake.gz" for its message.
I attached the messages generated when installer was run, today.

I am new to all this and am running Fatdog64-600 64 bit and want to run Google Chrome as it is my default on other OS's. I can't even come close to doing this lol. can someone run me through it? I looked at the help/directions on that page but could not perform the installation.

I thing there are plans/steps to do such on 64bit forthcoming for this and other portable browsers. I haven't tested this utility, as of yet, on FATDOG.

If you want one Chrome I've used in the past, I think there is one in the FATDOG REPO (BUT, its NOT portable). If not you can use the one from the LightHouse64 REPO.

You can see proper message when you click the google-chrome-portable folder.

Running google chrome on PhatSlacko is a bit complex. Same as slacko-5.6 and older.
Do next 3:
1) Install recent seamonkey-solibs from the updated slackware repo.
you need seamonkey-solibs-2.26.1, but I couldn't find on the Puppy Package Manager.
Here is a direct link:
http://slackbuilds.org/mirror/slackware ... ck14.0.txz

2) Edit /etc/profile at line 52.

Code: Select all

FIREFOX=$(find /usr/lib -type d -name firefox-*|tail -1) #slacko
if [ -d "$FIREFOX" ];then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$FIREFOX:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
  export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="$FIREFOX"
fi

3) Reboot PC

Thanks gmartin, I asked for some advisement on another thread as I am thinking I will go to LuPu as Fatdog seems a bit complex to me. I did have LuPu installed but was advised to go to fatdog? I liked luPu but did not really have it long enough to really know much. All I know is I did not like deciding where to same too every time I quit in fatdog. Any opinions are welcome, I am a newbie and want something easy and fun as just a backup OS.
I tried to get that browser to fatdog and was lost lol. All this is so confusing repositories and such geesh!

Thanks @Shinobar, but without any changes at all ...My system currently shows /etc/profile as:

Code: Select all

if [ -d /opt/mozilla.org ];then #101220 path fixes.
 [ -e /opt/mozilla.org/lib/mozilla ] && LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/mozilla.org/lib/mozilla:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
 [ -e /opt/mozilla.org/lib/firefox ] && LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/mozilla.org/lib/firefox:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
 [ -d /opt/mozilla.org/bin ] && PATH="/opt/mozilla.org/bin:${PATH}" #may not exist.
 [ -e /opt/mozilla.org/lib/mozilla ] && export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/opt/mozilla.org/lib/mozilla"
 [ -e /opt/mozilla.org/lib/firefox ] && export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/opt/mozilla.org/lib/firefox"
fi
MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins"
if [ -e /usr/lib/seamonkey ];then
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/seamonkey"
 export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/usr/lib/seamonkey"
 MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH="${MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH}:/usr/lib/seamonkey/plugins"
fi
FIREFOX=$(find /usr/lib -type d -name firefox-*|tail -1) #slacko
if [ -d "$FIREFOX" ];then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$FIREFOX:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
  export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="$FIREFOX"
fi
And the following shows currently installed packages without making ANY changes at the moment.

This system has Portable SeaMonkey operational without issues. Chrome still will not start, even after a reboot, while portable Seamonkey continues to work without issues.

Question
  • Which of your recommendations will address the Portable Chrome's operation?
I will follow your recommendation and report back
