SeaLion - A web browser for 32-bit PowerPC Linux (Void / Debian 11)

[kilaueabart]

Please note: Copy the icudt58b.dat to obj-powerpc-linux-gnu/dist/bin before "./mach run" and "./mach package" and then extract the sealion xz package and copy the icudt58b.dat again to the sealion folder.

I found icudt58b.dat but no luck with obj-powerpc-linux-gnu/dist/bin or the ./mach things. Is this why I can't run sealion in fienix? I didn't need to do that for void.

I was pleased to discover that I can keep my Duolingo streak going with sealion in Void instead of switching over to the windows laptop, provided I have enough time. It doesn't work on Eolie in void; the bird keeps hopping forever as it pretends to be loading. Over ten minutes so far.

I hope I will soon be able to do it in fienix6. I get sound in fienix6 but so far none in void. Nice to have sound with language lessons!

At Synaptic I click Settings > Repositories. Six lines come up in a little window all related to fienix, three "evo" and three "evo-testing," all marked "Enabled." I can't figure out a way to get anything like sealion out of them.

I tried apt-get as superuser and got this:

root@fienix:/home/fienix# apt-get install sealion-browser
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package sealion-browser
root@fienix:/home/fienix#

Very frustrating.

You have to update the apt database before you can install it.

Code: Select all

apt-get update

So many things I used to do pretty automatically but can't remember anymore.

I seem to have SeaLion going properly in fienix6 now.
