Using Slackware package maker to update chrome. Where is executeable?
by rocknrobin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6PHQK)
Hell-o, I am running a Slackware 15.0 distro and I am using Slackware package maker, version 3.14159265 to update my Google package. When it runs, it appears to be successful:
Code:
Slackware package maker, version 3.14159265.
Searching for symbolic links:
usr/bin/google-chrome-stable /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
usr/share/man/man1/google-chrome.1.gz google-chrome-stable.1.gz
Making symbolic link creation script:
( cd usr/bin ; rm -rf google-chrome-stable )
( cd usr/bin ; ln -sf /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome google-chrome-stable )
( cd usr/share/man/man1 ; rm -rf google-chrome.1.gz )
( cd usr/share/man/man1 ; ln -sf google-chrome-stable.1.gz google-chrome.1.gz )
It is recommended that you make these lines your new installation script.
Would you like to make this stuff the install script for this package
and remove the symbolic links ([y]es, [n]o)? y
Removing symbolic links:
removed './usr/share/man/man1/google-chrome.1.gz'
removed './usr/bin/google-chrome-stable'
Creating your new ./install/doinst.sh...
This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package
to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have
special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!
Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
directory ownerships to root.root ([y]es, [n]o)? n

(As a sidebar the behavior I will describe started before I started using the package maker) Now when I try to launch Google chrome from any of my shortcuts on my desktop the Google Chrome ICON shows up in the task bar at the bottom of the screen for a second or two, then disappears and Chrome never launches. Does anybody know where I need to go to start Google Chrome? Thanks in advance.
