I was unable to reach my email website with Arctic Fox in Adelie.

Corrupted Content Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.

Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.


Thinking the problem must be with the browser, I used Engrampa Archive Manager to de-archive a previously downloaded /home/live/Downloads/brassmonkey-33.5.1.linux-powerpc-adelie-musl-gtk2.tar.xz. Engrampa claims success but "show files" still just shows the above.

I switched over to Fienix and tried something that I thought was probably silly: I went to Adelie from Computer (or live's Home), located that archive, and tried to de-archive it from Fienix. To my delight, it seemed to work.

So I went back to Adelie to try it out. It almost worked. https://gmail.hawaii.edu opened my email site (and changed to https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox for some reason) so I could enter my password, and then showed my main email page, but no more than a second later the browser crashed. I tried again and this time I got an email list and tried clicking on the newest email, but again brassmonkey disappeared. Now I am able to get a view of my email while it is loading any time I want, but as soon as the site finishes loading, brassmonkey vanishes from the screen.

I wonder what I should try next.

Also I wonder how I can get a line saying "Brass Monkey" into Applications > Internet like where Arctic Fox is. And surely I shouldn't leave that fully-packed brassmonkey file in Downloads and run it from there.

Another puzzle. In that file is an item with an icon, brassmonkey 263.7 kB executable. Clicking on that icon seems to do nothing. To run Brass Monkey I go to the end of the list and click on a 39 byte shell script called run_brassmonkey.sh. I get asked if I want to Run or Run in Terminal. It doesn't seem to matter which one I choose.

I will compile the new BrassMonkey 33.6.1 with a stable UXP and with a lower level of optimization (-O2). Additionally I will remove other optimizations.
Maybe it helps.

You can create a launcher. Command for the launcher (example):

Thanks. My initial experimentation:

live on adelie-live ~ % bash -c "cd /home/live/brassmonkey ; ./run_brassmonkey.sh"
bash: line 1: cd: /home/live/brassmonkey: No such file or directory
bash: line 1: ./run_brassmonkey.sh: No such file or directory
live on adelie-live ~ % bash -c "cd /home/live/Downloads/brassmonkey ; ./run_brassmonkey.sh"
./run_brassmonkey.sh: line 2: 3900 Illegal instruction ./brassmonkey

I changed from the first line above to the fourth line because I knew that was where brassmonkey is, and running that line did bring up a browser page asking whether I wanted to restore my previous session. I said yes, and it turned out to have been the New York Times game page. It seemed to work all right, but terribly slow, so I just tried typing a few letters in Spelling Bee and moved on. I changed the URL in the address line to my email one, and my email page inched up but when importing stopped, so did the browser disappear again!

It brings my own old junk website up just fine! But when I clicked a link in it to another site, the browser did crash again.

But what I really want to do is get an icon to click and bring up Brass Monkey, or have it say "Brass Monkey" in Applications > Internet.

You can create a launcher (icon) with a right click on the desktop. The following command is an example for the launcher (icon):

uBlock Origin can help you.
