lightdm-login-chromiumos issue

[sowhatislinux]

Lately, I've been having a lot of trouble with the lightdm-login-chromiumos package. It seems like it is not correctly/fully installed. When I go

Code: Select all

apt-get install lightdm-login-chromiumos

, It gives me this:

What should I do?

The error indicates that the file /tmp/filedmobWC.zip downloaded from http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com ... hromiumOS/ is not a valid zip file. Next the post install script from the package uses dpkg --configure but fails as a result of the invalid zip file.

You might

Code: Select all

apt purge your packagename

and then try to reinstall it. If you get the same error then "its on them not you".

Also chromium OS forums would potentially give you better insight into this.

I don't see that package in the Debian repos--how is this a Debian issue?

[sowhatislinux]

Yeah, so what's 'your packagename'

[cuckooflew]

Where they say "package name", it means the name of your package, the one you want to remove, in this

You might

Code: Select all

Code: Select all

    apt purge your packagename 

and then try to reinstall it. If you get the same error then "its on them not you".

case "lightdm-login-chromiumos " eg:

Code: Select all

apt purge lightdm-login-chromiumos

The problem is this lightdm-login-chromiumos is not a Debian package, you need to be asking who ever created this software, and packaged it . It was not packaged correctly. I noticed that as well, in your error message,

Code: Select all

unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of /tmp/filedmobWC.zip or
        /tmp/filedmobWC.zip.zip, and cannot find /tmp/filedmobWC.zip.ZIP, period

What should I do?

Contact the support for " lightdm-login-chromiumos "

Alright, I'm looking for the developer support, and another thing --

I did

Code: Select all

apt purge lightdm-login-chromiumos

Then tried to reinstall, but it says the package does not exist.

This is not a Debian package , nor is it Debian, and beyond the scope of this forum,
Debian User Forums, is for Debian and Debian packages.
Maybe Follow the same instructions you used when you installed it the first time.
But that seems silly, since you now know the package can not be used.
But this time also read this: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
Before trying to install it.

I was thinking the same thing,

Why don't you just use lightdm , that is for Debiab, in Debian repositories ?
https://wiki.debian.org/LightDM

Code: Select all

# apt install lightdm
