Slimjet 31 and 32.0.1.0 - 32bit Does not Launch on Linux

Post by Average Joe »

Hi everyone.

I've been using and recommending Slimjet to everyone since a long time. (Meanwhile I know 32bit will be dropped soon.)

I'm an MX Linux user. Slimjet is installed (always with no issues) via "MX Package Installer" tool. (Currently MX 19.4 , based on Debian 10 - Buster )

I know, you'll say to write in MX forum. But the packages are coming directly from Flashpeak-Slimjet sources and also the installation finished successfully (re-installed 2 times).

Last time it was ok with 30.0.x.x

(Currently I'm writing on Windows 30.0.4 )

I guess there may be just a tiny thing preventing Slimjet to start (I also tried from Terminal). This is also a kind of feedback ...

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache policy slimj*
slimjet:
  Installed: 31.0.1.0
  Candidate: 31.0.1.0
  Version table:
 *** 31.0.1.0 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Code: Select all

$ apt list *slimj*
Listing... Done
slimjet/now 31.0.1.0 i386 [installed,local]
Thank you all in advance.

P.S. I already tried these:
  • Renamed slimjet folder in ~/.config
  • Created a new user and tried to start it there
  • Left only en-GB.pak and en-US.pak in /opt/slimjet/locales/
... nothing changed.

... If I try to manually run the sh in a terminal:

Code: Select all

$ sh /usr/bin/flashpeak-slimjet
/usr/bin/xdg-settings
/usr/bin/flashpeak-slimjet: 147: /usr/bin/flashpeak-slimjet: [[: not found
/usr/bin/flashpeak-slimjet: 162: /usr/bin/flashpeak-slimjet: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "fi")

I'm using Debian Buster 32-Bit und Slimjet 32-Bit works till version 30.0.5.0.

Sorry but 32.0.1.0 is no different, though it says in "What's new" : "Fix starting issue with linux version." .

Everytime I remove them and turn back to 30.0.5

Just looking at the conky: When you click to launch, the Cpu and Ram moves up for a moment as if it'll start, but that's all, nothing more ..

Re: Slimjet 31 and 32.0.1.0 - 32bit Does not Launch on Linux

Post by markm-lt20 »

I have just installed the latest Slimjet v32 on a fresh install of Linux Mint Xfce 32 bit.
Initially, the program crashed on launch. After that, it would launch and open but anything entered in the address box resulted in an error message that the program could not connect to the internet. I couldn't even get to settings without the same error message.

Next, I completely purged v32 and installed the last v31 on same computer with same results.

I then completely purged v31 and installed the last v30 of Slimjet. v30 works without any issue as previously reported.

Is anything being done to make new versions of Slimjet operational on 32 bit systems or will v30 remain the last working version?

My experience was the same on Linux 32 bit. Version 32.0.2.0 does launch but won't connect to the internet.

However, I found it works if you add the option --no-sandbox to the startup command. So if the original command was

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/flashpeak-slimjet %U
change it to

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/flashpeak-slimjet --no-sandbox %U
You can either run this from the terminal or change the command in your start menu.

Unfortunately, running it without the sandbox is not ideal as it lessens security (and a warning to that effect appears on startup). Anyway, I hope Flashpeak will sort this out as it shows the browser is still capable of working on 32 bit; it just seems to be the sandbox part that's the problem.

This worked for both types of download by the way. I tried the .deb version (on Zorin Lite) and the tar.xz version (on Mageia).
