PaleMoonHackerz: strange thing: when starting palemoon via mozo created entry in the MATE Desktop menu "it just works"
but when linking to it via
ln -sv /home/user/software/browser/palemoon/palemoon /usr/bin/pale
which would allow starting it via Alt+F2 and typing "pale" + ENTER
which is often much faster than the mouze
but results in: "Could not find the Mozilla runtime."
Searching the forum it says "needs to be accessible as a file" and build a wrapper, so tried a bunch of stuff.
what ultimately WORKED was:
1. instead of linking directly to the palemoon-bin
2. create a script /usr/bin/pale with the following content:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
/home/user/software/browser/palemoon/palemoon https://callthissiteforstartup.com
4. now running it like opening up a new non-root terminal and typing pale works just fine also Alt+F2 startup no problem
so the "trick" was to pass it an argument and it stopped complaining.
CHEEERS!
PS: for completeness the mozo created pale.desktop has the following content:
Code: Select all
cat pale.desktop
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
