google-chrome won't start *fix*
Posted: 29 Jan 2012, 02:33
Hej to all porteus users arround here.
I just installed porteus, and i got to admit im quiet impressed, especially by the paketmanagement, which is working like a magician with all those different repositorys.
Everything went flawless, until i tried to install google-chrome, because when i tried starting it, it simply didnt.
It just happend nothing, so i tried starting it from terminal aaand i got an error message, saying the gconf libraries were missing.
Knowing this issue i opened the pmm again, looked for the library inside the porteus repository, et voila! (:
But trying to start chrome again, it suggested to make some changes to the sandbox folder
so i had to chown it to root, and chmod it to 4755 (if i do remember it right).. the path was /opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox
Then i tried starting it again, getting a new error, this time complaining about the nss libraries.. the only problem was, i didnt find those neither in the porteus repos nor the slackwares, BUT i found the mozilla-nss--3.12.4--0.1.5.xzm in the fidoslax repos.. after the pmm had done his work anothertime (amazingly without problems in conversion etc).. chrome did work..
since i dont know if im the only one with his problem & i already found a way to fix it, i thought it would be okej to post it here, not saying SOLVED in front of it, because nobody will care about it then anyway ((:
so i hope i could help, and if not, my pleasure spamming your forums (:
(did i mention i just registered to be able to post this? (x )
