Guest mode is for "guests", not for me!
Thank you
wread. I didn't know if it was a Cinnamon problem or something else.
I have the Edge module in my Options folder and I use a script to activate it and the libxkbcommon module so after activating the modules I will simply edit the /usr/share/application/microsoft-edge-beta.desktop file and remove the "--no-sandbox" parm.
For any other Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon Guest mode users:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# https://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=9768
OPTIONAL="/mnt/sda6/porteus5.0/Optional"
MODULE="microsoft-edge*.xzm"
PLUS="libxkbcommon*.xzm"
echo toor | sudo -S activate $OPTIONAL/$PLUS > /dev/null 2>&1 &
sleep 3
sudo -S activate $OPTIONAL/$MODULE > /dev/null 2>&1 &
sleep 2
sudo -S sed -i 's^--no-sandbox^# --no-sandbox^' /usr/share/applications/microsoft-edge-beta.desktop
exit
If you save changes with a save.dat file note that Edge will add a ~75MB /home/guest/.config/microsoft-edge-beta folder to it. Check your save.dat file's free space before exiting Porteus.

Hi
Beny!
thanks for the tip! (su guest).
I just updated chromium to ver 92.0.4515.159 and now I can use the blogger from Google again! No more MS-Edge stuff to consider...

just pointing out: porteus-5.0rc3 has libxkbcommon in 003-xorg, so it(edge) should work in all DEs..
only certain flavours of 4.0 are missing it.

Hi everybody!
For those of you who reacted to the terror message of being root, I have found a hack to eliminate it. with this
version there is no warning when you are root!
My only warning is use AF Mode when you are root
Enjoy, No fear!

just a friendly opinion:
you are using Linux and escaping from the tyranny of Microsoft
but using Microsoft edge ?
seem like you aren't fully benefiting from the freedom of Linux xD
anyway it always comes down to personal preference

True, but your getting your feet wet in a whole new OS that someone got you to try. And the learning process starts.
