[SOLVED] Cannot run slimjet browser

[Member kaye]

Hi Friends

I installed slimjet browser thru Package Installer. Icon not in menu –> internet. Cannot run slimjet in terminal by typing slimjet.

I then installed slimjet by downloading the .deb file directly from slimjet website. Same results.

Are any of you using slimjet now in antiX?

Thank you

Are you using antiX-17 with stretch repos?

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

To start slimjet you have to type
flashpeak-slimjet

You can hardly imagine that by yourself.

1. I tried to install “slimjet_amd64.deb” through “Install with gdebi”.
Start menu entry was automatically added (1st screenshot).

2. You could easily go to Start Menu and enable “Rox-Panel”.
Then you go to /usr/share/applications, to “slimjet.desktop”.
Simply drag & drop “slimjet.desktop” on “Rox-Panel”.
(2nd & 3rd screenshot)

3. Also, if you ever took yourself a couple of minutes to simply “look around” …
You should have noticed “Add Menu” in Start Menu “Settings” by now.

Well, when you don’t know which command starts some application …

A. You go to /usr/share/applications/APPLICATION-NAME.desktop
(ex. /usr/share/applications/slimjet.desktop)

B. You open it in some text editor and look for “Exec= …” line.
That’s the command you need to execute in Terminal.

C. You make use of “Add Menu” …
(Screenshots 4, 5 & 6)

P.S.
You’d never want to use any other web browser except Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
And if — you wouldn’t want to install it, if it doesn’t come from the repository.
(See the last screenshot — it should be obvious why.)

The 32-bit version of Slimjet does not create an icon; it’s an error by the Slimjet team.

The same problem happens with MX Linux.

P.P.S.
And, you would NEVER install a 32 bit version of Chrome!

Thanks very much friends!

I don’t know if my system is corrupted, but my 64-bit slimjet browser also does not have an icon in Menu -> Applications -> Internet , but I can open the browser by pressing Ctrl-Alt_Space and typing flashpeak-slimjet.
