Fingers crossed, I fired it up from the terminal held my breath, and.it bloody well worked! Neat. The wrapper-script got the 'run-as-spot' prefix on the exec line.and the launch script (separate, rather than sym-linked - as suggested by Fred, to get round the sym-link 'issue' for those running Puppy from FAT32) also got the 'run-as-spot' prefix on the exec-line, too. So the Brave directory got 'spot' permissions. Previously, I'd been trying to create an entire 'spot' environment within the package.but then I thought, 'Hang about, Mike you're doing your usual trick.over-thinking things again. Earlier today, I got a PM from Mikeslr, with the suggestion that since I seemed to be 'on a roll' with these portables, why not take a crack at one for Brave? Not one to turn down a challenge, I set to.īrave is like Chrome, in that it insists on running as a 'normal user' ('spot'-related stuff, in other words.) Anyway initially, I was getting the exact same issues I'd had with trying to make a portable Chrome work - see above.
I'd been following the thread by RickGT351 about getting the 'Brave' browser running in Xenialpup64.
Complaints in the terminal about not being able to get a 'SingletonLock', and errors when it came to creating, and populating, the profile directory, so I put it on the back burner. I had a play around with getting a portable Chrome to run yesterday.but it wasn't playing ball. After some false starts, I finally cobbled together a set-up that worked (thanks to a snippet of code proffered by Fred), and put together a couple of packages the night before last. It worked well so well, in fact, that I began experimenting with my favourite Chromium 'clone', Iron. Purely at random, I started playing around with Opera a week ago. I've had the idea for doing one at the back of my mind for a long time, but it's only recently that several wee snippets of code have steadily come together all at the same time.as a result of which there's been an explosion of Chromium portable 'clones' over the last few days. I only started messing about with these Chromium-based 'portables' around a week ago. This will be the last one from me.I promise!
