tazpkg convert fails for 64 bit

Hi everyone,

I tried tazpkg convert for google chrome .deb & the error said-

amd64 (i386 expected)

I wanted to use chrome to dictate notes in google docs, which unfortunately only chrome browser seems capable of.

I tried it on slitaz 64, so is tazpkg convert for 64 bit packages not supported currently?

Thanks.

Re: tazpkg convert fails for 64 bit

.rpm converts but .deb won't which is weird

And it installs fine, but won't launch

Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable" (No such file or directory)

Any idea what's going on?

I am a noob so forgive me.

Hi Rahul,

I have currently no 64bit with UI, but after converting the rpm

I can see the binary is here:

/opt/google/chrome/chrome --help

Can you try if this works for you?

Hello Erkan,

Thank you for your help.

unfortunately I hit a dead end at /opt/google/chrome & I don't seen chrome --help

not in the converted package or installed system files

I am new to Linux. Am I missing something?

I appreciate your help & thanks for bearing with me.

Re: tazpkg convert fails for 64 bit

Hi Erkan,

If you see the file, but executing it returns the error "not found", examine the file: probably it is script, but Linux can't find interpreter to run this script, described in the first line.

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome is a BASH script, and it required BASH installed. Two options possible:

1. Install BASH

2. Change "#!/bin/bash" into "#!/bin/sh" in the first line, as well as change all the BASHisms to be executed with the plain Busybox's /bin/sh interpreter.

I think, installing BASH is simpler than re-writing the script after each Google Chrome update.
