It should work once you install
Just download the latest Linux build, remove the old one, extract the one you just downloaded and you are good to go, you will not lose your data when you remove the old directory. |

If you want also to delete all the data associated with it you should remove |

@The-Hypervisor thanks, but I would be more inclined to activate an apt repo for cromite, but I don't know how to do it.
is because of #710 |
uazo
added
the
help wanted
It would be very nice to make it available as a Flatpak in Fluthub so all Linux users can install it from there, because many people (myself included) do not use Debian or Debian based distros, so the apt repo will be a huge limitation for us. |

Hello. I found this fork of Chromium and it has a deb repo FWIW: https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium I have added this repo to my Ubuntu 22.04 PC's sources.list.d and it works great, instructions seen here: https://thorium.rocks/#installation I agree on making it available as a Flatpak too. Maybe you guys can collaborate with each other on something similar for Cromite. I would contribute to this project, but I am merely a beta tester (with a lot of different web browsers installed on my devices, maybe too many! lol) Hope this helps the issue.. Thanks |

Anyone saved the script from post 1 ? |
404 Not Found |
|
here is a very simple one, it just download and move the latest release to your destination (lin64).
maybe someone have more time/knowledge to optimize that :-) |
I agree! Flatpak would very much increase wide adoption for this browser |
|
pls package as flatpak 😭 |

i wasnt smart enough when searching therefore I made my own update script until an "official" update method is provided. #! /bin/bash
# Cromite update script by someone
# Script to leverage the updateurl.txt file to update linux cromite and later run it. It can be fired from a .desktop file
# Usage: cromite_update.sh <folder_to_update> <parameter_to_send_to_cromite_at_run>
#
# Its recommended to create a parent folder for cromite and put in that folder the script, the cromite folder and the user profile folders
# - parentfolder
# -- cromite_update.sh
# -- cromite_folder, typically cromite-lin
# -- User1_profile_folder
# -- User2_profile_folder
# -- ...
#
# Then call the run the script cromite_update.sh cromite_folder --user-data-dir=User1_profile_folder
#
# <folder_to_update>: is the folder in which cromite resides and the one to be updated. If the folder doesnt exist *it will be created*
# <parameter_to_send_to_cromite_at_run>: Optional. Usually used to set --user-data-dir= or other chromium options.

#Cleanup
rm -rf upd

#Run the updated (or not) cromite using $2 as parameter
(nohup $cromite_local_folder/chrome $2 &)
The idea is to leverage the udpdateurl.txt file same way is done for win version. Im sharing to see if someone finds it helpful. Feel free to destroy it :P Im using it from a shortcut in the desktop to update and run. |
pretty good script, just maybe delete locales folder anyway, it cause segfault for me. not really sure why. |
and others
