Iridium browser install issue
Re: Iridium browser install issue
I watched Google Chrome [no addons] vs Iridium Browser [addons] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgPFXbl3QbU and I was stunned at how much data the Chrome browser spews out to third parties as it is used.
I use Firefox, but I was curious how Iridium compared to it, so I downloaded it from the stable repo of the MXPI.
I had the same problem as the OP - when I found it in the whisker menu and selected it nothing happened. A bit of head scratching led me to this forum post, and the hack detailed earlier works - thanks
Is there a problem with the install that can be fixed?
With regard to the Iridium browser itself, it is consiberably faster than FF at rendering pages on my humble 2.5Mbps connection. Very impressed.

Re: Iridium browser install issue
We do have the newer version in the experimental MX 17/18 repo, because it needs a minimum of a gcc-7 runtime library that's in there too (as well as gcc-8). http://mxrepo.com/mx/experimental/pool/ ... m-browser/
It's in the main MX 19 repo.
I think the sandbox is considered a feature. it does work "as is" with Liquorix kernels.

Re: Iridium browser install issue
MX 19_x64 here. Same problem, same solution as above. Talk about mystery line :)
Re: Iridium browser install issue
There have been a couple of "problems" mentioned in this thread. What "solution" did you apply to solve what "problem"?
Gigabyte Z77M-D3H, Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2 (Quad core), 32GB RAM,
GeForce GTX 770, Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB, Seagate Barracuda 4TB

Re: Iridium browser install issue
Oh, sorry. I couldn't get the Iridium browser to start. Then I added the fix:
And now it works. I found out later that the fix actually came from the Iridium download page:
https://iridiumbrowser.de/downloads/debian
Where they say it is a problem that appears in several Debian distros.
Code: Select all
echo kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/00-local-userns.conf
