Chromium will not start

[angry1]

I downloaded Port 3 with chromium, when trying to start it it tells me it can't run as root, I happened to log in as root so I restarted, got the same message, tried to follow the "instructions" aka stupid no-go nerd talk and got no where, so I right clicked the icon and tried to change root to guest, and IT TELLS ME I DON'T HAVE THE NECESSARY PRIVILEGE, so then I restart again since I don't know linux nerd crap, waste more time logging in as root because I GET THE SAME MESSAGE, can't change crap.

Can I ask what moron I have to thank for wasting my DVD?

Then I find out I can't even boot up Port from a flash card after using the installer you provided and yes I checked the bottom box, I get an operating not found message and trying to boot up with usb first did nothing.

Hate you

I believe her name is angry1.

a. Don't use a DVD. Too big, too $$.
b. Use CDs. CD-RWs that way you can reuse them until you get what you want.
c. Even better are USBs but you may not be ready for that step yet.

I would take great pleasure in claiming that I am responsible for breaking your DVD. You should be glad that it was just your DVD that got broken and not your 14 yr old cum-laden fingers.
Why don't you just ask your parents to buy you a hdd? I'm sure your dad could fit in another cock down at wharf 9 or maybe they don't think your worth the $20 either?

Porteus is not perticularly involved, its the same on all linux system and also on windows. I don't think that your run windows under admin rights, I am sure that you run it under normal user priviledges.

There is a turnaround to be able to run chromium as root and we have provided the solution on this forum. You could have found it using keywords on the net: google root mode porteus. see:
viewtopic.php?f=81&t=2407

You need to add to the google-chrome binary:

Code: Select all

 --user-data-dir

So google is your friend, and this even with widows.
