Tazpgk Convert

I converted a .deb of Google Chrome, now how do I install it with Package Manager? I try to open it with Package Manager but it does nothing...

Re: Tazpgk Convert

Normally you can install it by using tazpkg install package.tazpkg from your terminal (the easiest is just to place the package in your home directory).

Alternatively, you can just use tazpkg get-install google-chrome to install chrome for you. You'll also need the cups package so chrome will work. This also requires adding it to start up. To do this go to Menu---> System Tools---> Control Box and go to the Initialization Tab and add cupsd before slim so it looks something like this: [c]dbus hald firewall cupsd slim[/c] then click the change button next to box and click exit. Now cups should start when your machine does.

Okay forget Google Chrome, but if I download something else that is a .deb format, then convert, and install it, it will never open once I click on what I installed. What am I doing wrong?

It's probably missing some dependency. Try running the program from terminal and see what error comes up. It can help you track down what is missing.
