Version 28 non Root problem

Unread post by elmurdoc » 2018-08-30, 16:37

Hi

i have this problem, in my work we use Linux call Canaima (this is a governmental version), which is really outdated and i don't have a root user

Until today the only way to use and update Palemoon was download the tar.bz2 unzip the folder create a shortcut to palemoon and use it, but today i download the version 28 and doesn't execute, it never open, i don't know how i can make it work without a root password :(

I have the previous version 27.9.4 (32 bits)

It appears that the 5.1 and 6 releases of that OS are based on Debian 8 and 9 respectively, and the PM binary or packages from my OBS repo should work on those. 4.X and older are aged out of contention, though: https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=canaima

If you have an outdated version, is there any possibility of updating it?
