Message-ID<wNs8O-6Vx-3@gated-at.bofh.it>

I wanted to install chrome on my intel desktop, but the only version I found

Google no longer produce a 32 bit version but you could try vivaldi 
which is based on Chrome and has a 32 bit version

   thank you.
   I installed it, but I'm not convince by its features

    1/ I want to define my ~/bookmarks.html file as home page, but
       it insists putting a https:// before my file://...

    2/ worst: playing sound only works on youtube, but I can't play
       mp3 files from other sites. I get the error:

       ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"FFmpegDemuxer: no supported streams"}
       ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR DEMUXER_ERROR_NO_SUPPORTED_STREAMS

    I think I'll revert to chromium

best regards,

Did you try an absolute path?

file:///home/user/bookmarks.html

I don't think the file:// protocol works with a path unless it starts
with /.

   I tried it, and also file://~user...

   but the problem is not there, but in the fact that, as I said,
   it puts a https:// before..
   which of course can't work

   Anyway, what interested me was the additional features that chrome
   adds to chromium.

These folks appear to have found some kind of workaround for the https
prefixation syndrome:

Might be nice, but several of the dependecies can only be satisfied if on 
stretch, and the curl command lines don't work on wheezy.  At all.

Gnomic. I searched the cited page for 'curl' and didn't find one
reference to it; then I realized you were talking about something else
but remain uncertain exactly what.

At any rate a curl command line that proves inoperable on Wheezy arouses
the interest of even the most jaded observer.

f you goto the vivaladi page, and look up its helpers, it gives a 
loooooong curl command to fetch them, but pasted into bash shell and 
return is pressed, you wind up with zero action and an empty prompt. A 
ctl+c gets you back your normal prompt. But thats all experimental any 
way since dpkg outputs quite a string of its own dependencies not met:

So its not going to work on a 32 bit wheezy, ever. I'll update this

is now working on a rock64, but thats the only variety of nix for arm64 
that will accept and use a gateway statement in its net config and it 
took me a week to make that work. I put another drive in an older dell 
dimension and installed 64 bit stretch, but was never able to get it to 
accept a gateway statement. No errors, it just ignores it unless applied 
by hand using route. So its back on the old wheezy drive which Just 
Works(TM)  That machine isn't quite sacrificial as its the box I use to 
program the mesa fpga based CNC cards, so its needed eventually. Its 
actually got a parport! And them is scarce on new machines today. :(

Thanks Curt.

That's hardly a surprise. Wheezy was released over 5 years ago, and
isn't even in LTS any more.

You keep on asserting this, but it's patently not true. That's a
standard feature of Debian on all architectures. I understand you've
seen problems, but it just needs debugging to see how things were
broken in your case. :-(

Then give me an install that can be made to work in a hosts file defined 
local network that can accept a gateway statement in its e/n/i file. The 
default install does NOT accept it until the network has been brought 
up.  And the syntax for the deprecated route command is too complex to 
remember, then everybody wants me to use ip-(mumble) for that without 
anything that resembles a man page to tell me how to use it for that.  
Thats the singular most obtuse man pages group I've tried to make sense 
of in 35+ years of making networks work starting even before Hayes 
modems were the default.

The arm64 stretch install has, as e/n/i.d/eth0:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.NN.2/24
gateway 192.168.NN.1
dns-nameserver 192.168.NN.1
dns-search hosts dns

And that works, I just got it from that machine with an ssh login.

So all the stuff that used to be in e/resolv.conf is now in that file, 
but no one in 2 damned years of my asking questions has ever mentioned 
that its been moved or why. To add to the confusion, /etc/resolv.conf is 
now a link that returns a list of nameservers only. But is there any 
documentation for all the shuffling? Not thats been converted to a utf8 
file I can peruse and learn from.

Sorry Steve, but your claim that its simply not true, pulls my trigger, 
best to duck. And maybe fix a few man pages. Please. ;-)

Right. The ip-* man pages are atrocious, I won't argue - they're
basically not human-readable. :-(

I'm assuming that "NN" is a placeholder you've added, and not copied
verbatim from the file!

Otherwise, that last line looks suspect. The "dns-nameserver" and
"dns-search" lines are instructions for resolvconf when setting up
networking. The "dns-search" line is meant to be passed straight
through into resolv.conf to set up a DNS search path. A valid example
from the resolvconf man page is "dns-search foo.org bar.com". What
that means is that each time you look up something that's no
fully-qualified (e.g. "foo"), this machine will be looking for
"foo.hosts" then "foo.dns". That's probably not what you
want. However, it'll be harmless if you're looking up FQDN hostnames
all the time.

This is down to the resolvconf package, which is often pulled in via
Recommends: from other packages. For a simple network with simple
needs, you shouldn't need to use it. It should work for you,
though. It manages resolv.conf, hence wanting to move the normal
config from that file.

If you *don't* have resolvconf installed, putting the details in
/etc/resolv.conf still works, and it's how I configure static things
on my own network (e.g. on the gateway/router box).

>Sorry Steve, but your claim that its simply not true, pulls my trigger, 
>best to duck.

I understand - I've seen you're struggling, but I know this stuff
works on lots of other machines. There's nothing broken here on
standard Debian on any architecture that I know of. *However*,
remotely debugging what other thing might be causing your woes is
really difficult.

Armbian I believe, Steve, thats what the default xfce login gui says 
anyway, but a cat /etc/issue says:
gene@rock64:~$ cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 9 \n \l,
and a uname -a:

Of course, I don't really want to give the farm to the first hacker that 
gets thru dd-wrt (which FWIW has yet to occur in 15+ years of having it 
standing guard here).

I've considered enableing dhcpd in the router, and matching the mac to 
the address issued. I did have that setup years ago to service my old 
lappy but that only worked around 25% of the time, and since I am no 
longer playing visiting fireman at other tv stations, its now hard coded 
in the hosts files which works unless the cat5 has been cut. In 15 years 
of blowing in the wind that piece of cat5 is still doing 100 megabaud 
over 45 feet of it to the shop building. I'm suitably amazed, as its 
survived 110+ mph winds that it took $18K to fix up the rest of the 
damages to the house and fencing, took out 3.5 40+ foot pines too. I 
finally took out the half of the 4th one last year as it was looking 
uglier by the year.

Back on topic, sorta.

The last time I tried a debian-arm as a dl and write to the sd card, 
failed just like the amd64 versions, plus armbian doesn't hard code the 
first user=1000, which IMNSHO is just inexcusable breakage by denying 
sudo to the the user doing the install. But thats a separate horse I 
think. If you feed it right, you can make it work most of the time.

I believe the phrase we're looking for here is "cast iron bitch"?

Thanks Steve.

Not really on topic but that's in tune with many of your posts. Violence

There seems to be an ongoing theme here with lines that look like
  *search hosts dns
popping up in other places in Gene's system.

See:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/10/msg00857.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/10/msg00859.html

Gene, the line
> >dns-search hosts dns
that you show above does not match anything documented by
the manpages on wheezy. I checked
  interfaces(5)
  resolv.conf(5)
  resolvconf(8)
  nsswitch.conf(5)

Gene, what are you trying to achieve with that line?

Whatever it takes to get a working gateway at bootup. Next time I reboot, 
I'll kill that line first. If I can't ping yahoo.com, (= no gateway. so 
it cannot get to the internet) I'll put it back.

And I just noticed you were checking wheezy, but the problem is in a 
stretch install, wheezy works fine using 5 yo man pages.  Stretch does 
not, using year old man pages that are installed with stretch.

I checked wheezy only because I thought that's what you use, I didn't
read carefully enough, sorry. Regardless, it makes no difference, the
man pages say that lines
  search hosts dns
or
  dns-search hosts dns
do NOT work the way you seem to think, regardless of which file
they're in. The dns-search version that goes in /etc/network/interfaces
is documented in resolvconf(8). It does NOT accept arguments like
"hosts" or "dns", according to the man pages. I have not read the
source though.
