chromium and win+r problems

Post by helloworld »

fossapup 9.5 ,frugal install on harddisk .i installed chromium83 from https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... sa64/,with chromium --incognito in terminal ,it failed to go directly to private mode(same result under root or spot).
I pressed win+R to run a app,marked run as spot ,it showed "Error: Failed to execute child process “gksu” (No such file or directory)",i searched repos ,but found nothing

1. Open /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop
2. Make sure it has this line:
Exec=/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome --no-sandbox --test-type --incognito

As for me, Firefox is always my go to browser + Firefox account + uBlock Origin extension.
Then, Brave + uBlock Origin for my other "identity" that needs google services such as gmail, YouTube, etc. (FYI, Brave's privacy (pre)configuration is very good & built-in Tor).
I also use ProtonVPN (paid with crypto ONLY), ProtonMail (@PM.me), pCloud, and iCloud ...
