BusterPup 8.0 CE (Beta-1)

[Rodney Byne]

Hi to all,

I downloaded Chromium 80 from the PPM,
no missing deps and it appeared in the Menu.
But it doesn't start/launch.
Then I tried to run it from Terminal.
Some text which I didn't understand
so gave up.

Has anyone got any ideas on this?
Regards

If you would like to run it as root, the command would be;
# chromium --no-sandbox

(You will get a message about security, because Chrome/Chromium is usually not to be run as root, or administrator.)

If you would like to run it as spot, the command would be;
# run-as-spot chromium


I happened to read your post, though I am not a user of Busterpup.
I think the name of the executable is "chromium," but I am not sure. In the case of ubuntu-based distributions, it is usually "chromium-browser."

Thanks thinkpadfreak,

Yes --no-sandbox works to launch Chromium.
Cheers.
