LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Installing Iridium browser

Installing Iridium browser

Attempting to install Iridium browser I get the following errors when trying to run the installed package. I used rpm2txz to convert the suse and fedora packages. I also tried with alien which produced similar results. It either crashes or asks for a missing library. I'd install the missing library, but they aren't on slackbuilds.org and I don't want to go on a wild goose chase when that library requires yet another library which in turn requires half my system to update or requires different versions of some other library.

I'd compile it myself, but the process seems a little complicated as I'd need to install some other programs, which aren't on slackbuilds.org and likely will require a few or too many dependencies.

If anyone has any suggestions, please post them. Thanks.

Did you have the latest Chromium from: http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...um/pkg64/14.2/

What exactly are you doing - are you just doing a straight conversion and installing that? From my experience this is not a reliable method of installing a package. I have had success with this method once before, but that was with a .deb file and subsequently extracting it and rebuilding it with makepkg.

looking at https://downloads.iridiumbrowser.de/source/, there was no new version of iridium-browser for 6 months while Chromium/Chrome got a lot of security fixes.

iridium-browser-2018.5.67.tar.xz 2018-05-17 22:22 582M
iridium-browser-2018.11.70.tar.xz 2018-10-31 12:26 649M

Maybe not so very much secure, if there's a lack of updates.

Yes, and 6 months lack of updates before that.
See https://chromereleases.googleblog.co...able%20updates for security-fixes iridium missed in that time

Take a look at Ungoogled Chromium:

https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

There are portable builds available (Portable Linux 64-bit Release):

https://ungoogled-software.github.io...mium-binaries/

I just unpack and run it, without issue on -current.

Also, it's better than Iridium, more up to date and with more 'features' removed.

Yea, it's usually failed me in the past, but I could find no other way to do it other than building from source, and looking at that dependency list I was just like, "uh... No thanks."

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I had just thought that iridium was the only one to remove the google stuff.

Ungoogled-chromium crashes with this error everytime I goto a website. (Like this website will crash, but www.slackware.com dosen't, well unless you goto doc.slackware.com)

It will open with these errors, but you can't load any websites.

I tried going here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...on_information but the NSS download doesn't have a configure file so I just typed 'make' and it gave me this error (fatal error: plarena.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated /coreconf/rules.mk:388: recipe for target 'Linux4.18_x86_cc_glibc_PTH_DBG.OBJ/quickder.o' failed) that I think involves something with my kernel headers. But without a configure file, I wouldn't have much of a shot at fixing the problem.

This line (which preceded the error) looks like it's trying to compile in 32bit mode, but I do have multilib installed.

Code:

gcc -o Linux4.18_x86_cc_glibc_PTH_DBG.OBJ/quickder.o -c -g -fPIC -Di386 -DLINUX2_1 -m32 -pipe -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -DLINUX -Dlinux -DHAVE_STRERROR -Wall -Werror -DXP_UNIX -DDEBUG -UNDEBUG -DDEBUG_madmax -D_REENTRANT -DNSS_NO_INIT_SUPPORT -DUSE_UTIL_DIRECTLY -DNO_NSPR_10_SUPPORT -DSSL_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_CIPHER_SUITE_NAMES -I../../../dist/Linux4.18_x86_cc_glibc_PTH_DBG.OBJ/include -I../../../dist/public/nss -I../../../dist/private/nss  quickder.c

Slackware 14.2 has mozilla-nss-3.31.1 (looking at the changelog) which meets the requirement. Also why not try to use NSS-3.40 Slackbuild and source from Current if you want a newer package?

I'm guessing you downloaded a pre-built binary? If so, then they likely built it against a different version of mozillia-nss than the one included in your installation. You could try a different version of the packages or it might be required to build your own.

Ok, thanks guys. Finally got it installed.

But is there anyway to add a go button? And disable autocomplete?

Searching the web, I think the answer is that it's impossible without making your own extension, if it's even possible at all. But I thought I'd ask on the off chance it might be possible.

Hmm... Mine had 3.23 or so, so I updated to 3.4 and everything was fine.
