  installing Firefox
Posted by: ProsaicHacker - 02-01-2024, 09:50 PM - Forum: Help Section - Replies (2)

Because of the difficulties I am have with google under the default browser I am trying to install fire fox.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ins...tributions


Following the link shuts down the browser.

Here is the text from the link:
Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions

To install the .deb package through the APT repository, do the following:

Create a directory to store APT repository keys if it doesn't exist:

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings

Import the Mozilla APT repository signing key:

wget -q https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/repo-signing-key.gpg -O- | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc > /dev/null
If you do not have wget installed, you can install it with: sudo apt-get install wget

The fingerprint should be 35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3

gpg -n -q --import --import-options import-show /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc | awk '/pub/{getline; gsub(/^ +| +$/,""); print "\n"$0"\n"}'

Next, add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources list:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list > /dev/null

Configure APT to prioritize packages from the Mozilla repository:

echo '
Package: *
Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org
Pin-Priority: 1000
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla

Update your package list and install the Firefox .deb package:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox

ran

seemed to install but there is no X11 server in this config

Running in VBox VM.
2GB memory 1 CPU Live session.

Tried to log into gmail. Pressed enter key
Got a 400 Error.
The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

Tried again and pressing next after the email adresss garble the input field and
does not move onto the passsword.

I am logged into this form right now.

  It works in Virtual box and Win 11!
Posted by: ProsaicHacker - 02-01-2024, 09:18 PM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (1)

Booted in Virtual Box.  Most basic thing worked as expected.

Browsing work fine too

Booted on an Atom based HP mini PC (Mini Laptop).
1 GB  with 250 GB spinning disk.

Did not boot with the default install.
Running on the safe video mode some  messages
but it did come up. 

Trying install on hard disk.  10 minutes in   53% done.
swap partition already on hard disk  (it was prepared for Puppy but
puppy's install to HD gave me some issues)

Install done in about 20 minutes.

Tuxpuck worked fine but the game play was to fast for me to play well.

from power on to use about 1 minute


First login screen  tab does not move from Username to password fields  .
Enter does work.

Investigating some funny things with the browser. Cannot log in to gmail.

  The newest ISO can't boot?
Posted by: moha - 02-01-2024, 05:22 PM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (4)

Hello everyone

Nice to see the DSL be updated! Thanks a lot to the author!

But i face a issue: I can't use the downloaded ISO to boot the VirtualBOX machine up. the MD5 is correct, what's matter?

My host system is manjaro, kernel is 6.6.10, VBOX is 7.0.12, installed from apt.

Please help me, thanks.
