Thanks for your response.
But the Debian package is not maintained.
Do you know of any other way?

liberatedGuy OP ,
@liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks a lot.
That works.

liberatedGuy OP ,
@liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

Thanks.
I will try this method as well.
For now, pmount seems to work fine.

Thanks. I don't use lxqt as my DE though. I use a custom DE based on i3.
I will look into it.

[SOLVED] Brave Browser not launching in LXQT in Debian 12 ( lemmy.ml )

Hi folks. I have installed Debian 12 bullseye with the lxqt desktop environment. I have run lxqt sessions on it using xfwm4, as well as i3wm, as the window manager. However, for some weird reason brave browser would not launch - neither in xfwm4 nor in i3-wm. So I tried to run the command in the shell to see what output it would...

I don’t like to leave problems unsolved. Secondly, brave comes with default adblocker. What better FOSS chromium alternatives are there?

liberatedGuy OP ,
@liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

As instructed in their webpage. Using the .deb file

My friend, when you install something using the apt package manager you are using a .deb file. It’s something getting downloaded in the background from a server (debian.org or the brave one in this case) without you realising it. Make sense?

liberatedGuy OP ,

“apt uses dpkg to install the deb file” Apt is a frontend for dpkg which needs a .deb file to install stuff. Apt searches for deb files in repos listed in sources.list, downloads them and then uses dpkg for installation.

“Installing a Flatpak for example is a very valid answer and would definitely solve the problem” That wasn’t a useless comment. Although it would not have helped, it was still in the right direction. Useless comments are those claiming that I should stop using brave and just stick to firefox.

“You put the error in a screenshot which leaves it rather useless for searching the error in the web” I put the screenshot so that nothing is missed and I have seen this previously.

“In general, I’d say that you have very little error solving skills” I would say that you have very weak probabilty and statistics skill, if you can generalise the entire sample space with just a singleton event.

“and instead of thanking for “nothing” you should be thankful that people even bothered to answer.” Again, not directed to people who gave technical help or asked questions but only to those suggesting I just stick to FF or give up Brave.

    Well the point is that he wouldn’t have the need to know if he has used something like GPL.

    Linux Mint is what you are looking for.

    Bash not sourcing .profile automatically in Debian 11

    So, in order to avoid typing “flatpak run”, every time I need to run a flatpak program from the terminal, to have gui programs installed using nix appear in my applications menu(rofi, in this case), and to avoid typing the entire path to my .local/bin, I had added the following lines to my .profile:...

    Thanks for the response. But that does not work as well.

    liberatedGuy OP ,
    @liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

    Thanks for the response. But in my case, even that does not work as well.

    liberatedGuy OP ,
    @liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

    Changed it allow execution for the owner. Still no results. Tried with both .profile and .bash_profile.

    liberatedGuy OP ,
    @liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

    Thanks, that works with the flatpaks. However, it doesn’t seem to work with nix packages. I mean rofi doesn’t detect the .desktop files for packages installed using nix.

    liberatedGuy OP ,
    @liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

    I only have .profile. Actually adding those lines as to .bashrc as suggested by @palordrolap helped for the flatpak commands. But the issue with .desktop files for programs installed using nix still persists.

    liberatedGuy OP ,
    @liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

    Adding those lines to .bashrc helped with flatpaks but not with nix.

    liberatedGuy OP ,
    @liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

    Thanks, I will check it out. Adding those lines to .bashrc helped with flatpaks but not with nix.

    Thanks for the response. Adding those lines to .bashrc helped with flatpaks but not with nix.

    Thanks for the response. I will try to as you have advised. Adding those lines to .bashrc helped with flatpaks but not with nix.

    Hi, Thanks for the response. Sorry for disturbing you. I have tried what you have suggested here. There are two files with matching timestamps but different PATHs. I am using i3wm in Debian 11. Please tell me how to deal with this issue.

    liberatedGuy OP ,
    @liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

    Oh, thanks a lot for the efforts! You really are one of a kind to conduct an experiment to help out a stranger on the internet. Yeah, this actually works. I just added those lines to .xsessionrc and all problems were solved.

    If you don’t mind my asking. Do you work in IT as a sysadmin or a developer or a cybersecurity expert? Or something else? I am just curious as to how may have gained such knowledge.

    Nix Package Manager Advice

    When using the Nix Package Manager on Debian 11, I have seen that it doesn’t automatically create .desktop files for GUI programs. This would have been fine if I was using nix to install one or two programs, but I was looking forward to use it a regular package manager. Does anyone know how to automate the process?

    liberatedGuy OP ,

    I have this line export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.nix-profile/share:$HOME/.share:“${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/}” Do I need to add anything else? I do have the directory you have mentioned.

    liberatedGuy OP ,
    @liberatedGuy@lemmy.ml avatar

    Adding those lines to .bashrc, helped with the flatpak commands. I can run them without having to type “flatpak run”. I did this for nix: export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.nix-profile/share:$HOME/.share:“${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/}” However, I still cannot see the entries in rofi. The package is Chromium browser.
