dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore x86_64 Imported Extensions

[Solved] Browser. Download Problem

Hi gwalther
I've never used dCore, so you may have to wait for Jason W or another dCore user for a better answer.

PDP-8:
gwalther - I noticed the same thing only I'm running the larger Focal version.

Ie, saw your problem, tried to download and run Firefox.  The system downloaded all it needed, succesfully converted it into an sce.  It even integrated into the openbox menu.  However trying it start it there, or at the commandline, as a normal user or as sudo, it just wouldn't fire.

I don't see it as a zombie process either.

Well, that's what RC's are for.

However, for kicks, I can run Dillo and am on the older Netsurf right this moment, which have no problems starting or integrating into openbox, but of course have their limitations too.

So something's up.  Rc territory my friend....

Jason W:
I have never had a problem on dCore-focal64 importing and running firefox, just using "sce-import firefox" and then loading and running it. 

I will test tonight from a new sce directory importing everything from scratch.  Sometimes there is a temporary issue in regards to the Debian/Ubuntu repo versus our DEBINX data we have on our server, the rsync script runs once each hour to refresh the DEBINX to the Packages.gz files on the Debian server. 

PDP-8:
I'll fess up - I tried using the menu-driven sce-import, (where you are presented the option to use ram or not) then searched for firefox and there is a likely a chance that the 200 different ways to build firefox that show up may be a local issue if you don't know exactly which libs, locales, and how some of the other choices fit together neatly as a puzzle.

Ie, breakage may be a user-driven event if you dont make the right choices.  At least on my part.

I'll try the far simpler example you show and get back later...






PDP-8:
Ah two things:

Tried to use sce-remove to remove the old firefox to start again.  No sce-remove found on the system, so I just manually forced the clean removal by creating my own /tmp/.removesce with firefox in it, and upon reboot was cleaned.

Is sce-remove deprecated?  No biggie, I just created my own /tmp/.removsce ..

Tried
sce-import firefox

Same result as before - sure you can choose among 200 variations of Firefox.  Then, which libnss version do you want?  And then ....  :)

So most likely user-breakage if you don't get all the hierarchical selections of how you want firefox to be built to work correctly. :)

Almost too much flexibility. :)  Understand I'm not complaining!

P.S. Shout out to nitram, sm8ps, and others who devoted their own time to creating good wiki docs ...
