Now if you donât need it you can delete the package-utils bundle by running:
swupd bundle-remove package-utils
Done!
Let me know your thoughts, and if thereâs something that can be improved, especially about the dependecies, since Chrome is installed using --nodeps.
Thatâs strange, I explicitly wrote rpm -U because itâs more generic and works in both cases. I just retried installing Chrome using rpm -U and it âworkedâ. I get some errors and warning obviously:
# rpm -U --nodeps google-chrome*.rpm
warning: google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7fac5991: NOKEY
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.khWS37: riga 612: /etc/default/google-chrome: File o directory non esistente
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.khWS37: riga 615: /etc/default/google-chrome: File o directory non esistente
warning: %post(google-chrome-stable-77.0.3865.90-1.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
but â I think â thatâs because rpm is not the proper way to install apps on Clear. Those errors shouldnât compromise the installation and I still found Google Chrome between the installed apps after running the scripts.
Oops! I saw âscriptlet failedâ and assumed it didnât âwork,â I didnât actually check if Chrome was in the installed apps after I saw the error.
Thanks for the welcome, Iâm sure there will be many more such lessons as I play around with Linux!
Chrome works well for me out of the box, in comparison to Firefox, it plays videos and GIFs by default. If you are talking about the Accelerated Video Decode feature in chrome://gpu, itâs unavailable on GNU/Linux. Maybe you can find more info here.
The /etc/environment file specifies the environment variables to be set. The file must consist of simple NAME=VALUE pairs on separate lines. The
pam_env(8) module will read the file after the pam_env.conf file.
The fonts command did nothing for me, but do this and enjoy: sudo sed -i "s|Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable|Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --password-store=basic %U|g" /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop
For kde and gnom it uses by default these wallets - finally no longer. --password-store=<basic|gnome|kwallet> Set the password store to use. The default is to automatically detect based on the desktop environâ ment. basic selects the built in, unencrypted password store. gnome selects Gnome keyring. kwalâ let selects (KDE) KWallet. (Note that KWallet may not work reliably outside KDE.)
However, Iâm not sure about adding the Clear Linux repo on dnf. If I start the installation it will add redundant dependencies already present on my system.
