arm32 and arm64 submission chromium questions

<< < (3/5) > >>

Paul_123:
Another thing to simplify the install would be to include a piCore customized chromium-browser launcher script in your get latest package.   Rather than trying to use sed and other things to fix the one included with Debian.

aus9:
I read something before seeing your reply Paul_123.

I accept that your skills are greater than mine.
I like the way I do things as I actually understand what I am doing. I am a simple coder.

Anyhow, the thing is, what I have learnt so far, and what you already know is that "we" can take a debian package and load it with some mods to use on arm.

The original reason for me building chrome* was due to a fault I found with firefox rendering a tilda site that I discuss in another post. And I assumed that someone maybe Juanito would cross compile firefox for arm.

arm8 firefox-perf is a different TCE that I like.

To be blunt, I have no problem saving compile time, if I can build a browser that works for me at sites I need to go to.

I do not have a problem if someone such as yourself prefers to build it and have myself or others test it. But due to timezones etc...and my own time restrictions, I am happy to  plod along and see if I get more things right that work for me with my tests.

I only recently tested sound on arm7 which I posted about. Thats how slow or how focussed I was on on other matters.

I hope you catch my drift?

aus9:
now looking at my previous refusal to look at preferred web browser.
This was an error.

I find out by this link.....part one is to fix the default web browser
http://www.afterstep.org/aterm.php
the ftp link needs xdg-open, yet to fix

ok so I change the chromium bin pathway to xdg-settings to /usr/local and notice we have a fix

the order I loaded firefox may be an issue but now within chromium I can now set the default web browser such that prev command then new change


--- Code: ---xdg-settings get default-web-browser
userapp-Nightly-IONB71.desktop
tc@box:~$ xdg-settings get default-web-browser
chromium-browser.desktop
--- End code ---

firefox xdg-open works for ftp link
chromium is work in progress....not yet

aus9:
part 2 xdg-open now half works for a ftp link

I edit the desktop file so it includes

--- Quote ---MimeType=x-scheme-handler/ftp;
--- End quote ---

Now clicking the aterm ftp link....popup appears and offers Nightly (firefox) to open.  WIP

ahh a web search shows chrome* has dropped support.
it used to be available by enabling it by going to bookmark=
chrome://flags/

but a search of ftp shows its gone and may have gone since 2021.

lets forget that now please

aus9:
running env on arm7l...we do not have XDG_RUNTIME_DIR set.
its too late for me now....me thinks that the member running a private TCE will not mind me giving them a install script that sets that up.
Cheating off my sway-dot


--- Code: ---# create run dir and export value
USER=`cat /etc/sysconfig/tcuser`
if [ ! -d /run/user/$(id -u "$USER") ]; then
   mkdir -p /run/user/$(id -u "$USER")
   chown "$USER":staff /run/user/$(id -u "$USER")
   chmod 700 /run/user/$(id -u "$USER")
fi
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u) && export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
--- End code ---

I say patrikg post on export so will test that later but

--- Code: ---env | grep XDG
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1001
--- End code ---

plodding along
