MACPUP Cannot Install any other web browser

[GodsDead]

Im new to puppylinux, and have recently installed macpup 511, The built in Midori web browser works, but i don't want to use it!
I have installed Chrome, Firefox and Opera Via "Quickpet install popular Programes" install seems to be successful, but when i run any of them via the internet menu It gives me:

Code: Select all

Chrome Web Browser stopped running unexpectedly.
There was no error message.

I checked the log and it just displays the same message!
How do i fix this, i would prefer to use Chrome.

Thanks.

You need to install the update for quickpet.

Then install what ever browser you want. Run it from the terminal to see if it is missing any dependencies.

I downlaoded and ran that and it gave me.
"sorry Quickpet doesnt support your puppy"

So now is it overwritten? i cant use it :/

How do i run teh browser via the terminal?

How do i run teh browser via the terminal?

click the console icon

and type

Code: Select all

chrome

firefox
opera

You can also type

Code: Select all

defaultbrowser

to check :

Code: Select all

file `which chrome`

to look for help :

Code: Select all

firefox -h

some commands also use the -help or --help option

some apps may have a wrapping shellscript like `defaultbrowser`usually is

to look for simmilar commands :

Code: Select all

fire [2xTAB-key]

example output :
[puppypc]# fire
firefox
firefox-config
firewall_install.s
firewall_installREADME.txt
firewallinstallshell

if you're outa pupsave or memory this startupdenial may happen, too ...

btw : the Macpup Foxy 3 Firefox is one of the best I encountered so far , until now upgraded to 3.5.17 , I think it started with 3.5.05

The new quickpet .pet in that thread is designed for macpup , I use it all the time. You can also use the package manager to get the same .pets

Like i said, that quickpet does not work, it throws that error.

and Running chrome Via the terminal just gives me:

Illigal instruction

Puppy Just seems so buggy!

Here's a pic of Macpup 511 running Firefox 3.14 and Opera 11......I do need to update Firefox though.

Ausom!
So ho do i get mine working? lol

I did the update thing via the Macpup app list thing, that took hours to update... that didn't solve much.
