Using AppImages in Puppy...

[Mike Walsh]

Evening, kiddiwinks.

Just a quick one for y'all tonight. Mikeslr has dug up a very neat little AppImage for checking codecs of films, audio tracks, anything media-related, really.....in both 32- & 64-bit versions. Fires straight up in most relatively modern Puppies, OOTB.

Thanks, Mike..!


T'other Mike.

The more bad thing is that you can go out with your dog for a walk but not with your children.

There are always solutions to such problems...

Find today that Molotov : French tv player has an appimage

https://www.molotov.tv/download

Code: Select all

Don't run as root so do in a console where your appimage is :
./molotov.AppImage --no-sandbox

To be more secure install firejail it's an easy way to use sandbox programs :

Code: Select all

pkg a firejail

And run your molotov :

Code: Select all

firejail --noprofile ./molotov.AppImage --no-sandbox

I have done this on :

Code: Select all

cat /etc/os-release 
NAME=Puppy
VERSION="8.0"
ID=puppy_bionicpup64
VERSION_ID=8.0
PRETTY_NAME="bionicpup64 8.0"
ANSI_COLOR="0;34"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:puppy:puppy_linux:8.0"
HOME_URL="http://puppylinux.com/"

This should take care of the error in your image so long as you can interpret Rosika's workaround.

BTW, you don't really wanna run Slimjet. If however you insist, you wanna run "flashpeak-slimjet," NOT slimjet.

A whole bag-O-goodies await...

oke, now this needs explanation, why ? what is the difference ? are not they both the same? and only slimjet 15 run reasonably good on this machine

can you elaborate ?

Code: Select all

sh-4.3# firejail --noprofile slimjet
Parent pid 16909, child pid 16910
The new log directory is /proc/16910/root/var/log

Child process initialized
[2:31:0531/180909.299565:ERROR:service_manager.cc(158)] Connection InterfaceProviderSpec prevented service: content_plugin from binding interface: memory_instrumentation::mojom::Coordinator exposed by: content_browser
exit
Warning: removing 5 bytes from stdin

parent is shutting down, bye...

it works with noprofile option but not with private option,

Code: Select all

sh-4.3# firejail -private=/slimjet
Error: invalid -private=/slimjet command line option
