Salix Forums

Hi new here just installed salix mate today mostly everything is working but skype and chromium any help would be greatfull

When you say not working ....

Do search the Salix forum for these too, if you haven't already.

I'm not sure but I think these may be available from Sourcery / slapt-src (q.v. in the Startup Guide). But maybe that was what you tried.

Anyway, welcome to Salix

Hello...

You need more details on what exactly isn't working... Try opening skype/chromium from the terminal and post any error messages you get back.

One guess: Are you using 64bit version? If you are, then Skype won't work unless you install multilib (Search through documentation on how to do this), because Skype is a 32-bit software.

I don't know about chromium...

I tried to get Chromium and Rhythmbox installed via Sourcery, and they didn't compile. I'll have to hunt down the log files, for an exact issue with each, but I do know that libpeas didn't install because it was looking for gkt-doc, and I didn't see gtk-doc in either GSlapt or Sourcery.

- I'd like to figure out how to get things installed from Slackbuild.org too, so if I run into problems, I can figure them out, or install from there. I've been in the Linux Mint world, and it's not so CLI centric.

I don't know whether this may help:

Hi.

I had to install mozilla-nss and yasm in order to get Chromium (Slackbuild from SBo) to compile (still compiling) on a rather fresh Salix64 14.0 install. There might be other missing deps for you as well, as I've installed a few additional packages to the system.
