How to install ungoogle-chromium?, Debian13

[keos]

Hello,

I tried to get ungoogle-chromium, with the information from Debian: https://wiki.debian.org/ungoogled-chromium it says that to install the package you have to run

Code: Select all

apt install ./ungoogled-chromium_*.deb

and it refers to GitHub, -- very confusing page for me, could someone please indicate how I should proceed to install it?.

Thanks for any comments,

Greetings

[eriefisher]

If you followed the link it takes you to the bits and pieces and the instruction to build the .deb.
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/u ... ium-debian

There is also this:
https://software.opensuse.org//download ... d-chromium

[keos]

The first option I could not follow, it gives me failure.

The option of the opensuse repo, which seemed the best to me since I am not an expert:

Code: Select all

keos@kaos:~$ LANG=C sudo apt install ungoogled-chromium
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation, or if you are using the unstable distribution
unstable that some necessary packages have not yet been created
or have been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help resolve the situation:

Unmet dependencies:
 ungoogled-chromium : Depends: libjsoncpp25 (>= 1.9.5) but cannot install.
                      Depends: libre2-9 (>= 20201101+dfsg) but not installable
Error: Unable to fix problems, has retained broken packages.
keos@kaos:~$ 

Is there any other possibility?,

Thanks

[eriefisher]

What is the "failure" on the first one?

The second is a dependency issue. You will have to search out how and where to get those. I'm not sure why they are not available from your standard repo but I'm sure there is a reason.

Broken ungoogled-chromium-build-deps:amd64 Depends on dh-exec:amd64

As it says, "Depends on dh-exec"

Code: Select all

apt install dh-exec

and build again.

dh-exec is available through all branches of debian since buster so I'm not sure why it doesn't come up. Possible a repo issue?

Code: Select all

There is also some deb files here :

https://github.com/berkley4/ungoogled-c ... n/releases

There is one mandatory file :
ungoogled-chromium

Three optional :
ungoogled-chromium-sandbox
ungoogled-chromium-l10n
ungoogled-chromium-driver

There are also debug symbols.

Then the command to install is :
https://wiki.debian.org/ungoogled-chrom ... ian_Builds

Code: Select all

apt install ./ungoogled-chromium_*.deb

Then there is this note:

Until I can get a hotfix uploaded, please edit line 9 of /usr/bin/chromium to read as follows...
. /etc/chromium/launcher.vars

Also a few issues :

VA-API appears to be broken for some people
XZ_THREADED won't have any effect until upstream dpkg enables multi-threaded compression (see bug)
A sample apparmor profile can be manually copied to /etc/apparmor.d to prevent a startup error on Ubuntu 24.04+
For builders: ninja cleandead (./debian/rules cleandead) might fail on non-completed builds

I don't know if it works thought, I would be cautious to install such binaries on my system

keos, I'm no expert but you're supposed to use su - now instead of su. Maybe that's the problem?

Actually, I just ran a simulation using su and it worked so that's probably not the problem. But you're supposed to use su - now.

[eriefisher]

Your sources are incomplete and is probably why. See example.

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

Add the missing components and apt update again.

[keos]

dh-exec is already installed, clang and clang17 are installed.

It looks like there is not any problem with repos:

I messed up the system a lot dealing with those commands ... I gave up and installed it using Flatpak
