[SOLVED] Install only partially successful

Unread post by jbarntt56 » 2015-09-25, 03:47

OS is Mageia Linux 5, (a Mandriva fork), x64

I checked for the required dependencies, and they were installed, with the caveat that some of them have many possible packages to install. Note that the packages are x64. I configured sudo, and it does work.

Install from pminstaller.sh went fine. PM comes up and I can enter a URL and go to a website, e.g., yale.edu. But if I click on the Tools menu, PM dies. Not sure what I need to do. During the install, I selected install latest version.

If what is being installed is x32, do I need to install x32 packages, or is there something else I am missing?

Any help, much appreciated.

According to this post here, if you have a 64-bit version of Linux, the installer will install the 64 bit version of Pale Moon.

helloimustbegoing is correct, the installer will automatically install the correct architecture for your system (in your case, x64).

Are you using KDE? This sounds like the oxygen-gtk theme issue. Please check the FAQ for more info and solutions to this.

Thanks, I am using KDE, not sure about the theme, but is the one that installs by default. Will check the FAQ

Thanks, folks. I changed my theme from Oxygen to GTK+ and PM works like a charm ;)
