Chromium 96.sfs didn't replace v94 in remastered Fossapup (Solved)

Post by wizard »

I have a Puppy fossapup64 9.5 remaster that included peebees Chromium 94.sfs in the remaster. I tried installing Chromium 96.sfs thinking the layered file system would then use v96. However, when I restarted Chromuim it still showed v94. Have I misunderstood how the file system works?

Thanks
wizard

Does the v96 SFS load to a path location that has precedence over where the v94 is stored?
Is a chrome launcher being used that points to the v94's binary file? Or is a symlink involved in the start that is pointing to v94?

Does the v96 SFS load into the same location as v94?

Also clear the browser cache(s)

That's what I don't know. Since the v94 was installed and then remastered it is part of puppy_fossapup64_9.5.sfs. When v96.sfs is installed it isn't in the save file/folder so I don't know what layer it is.

Is a chrome launcher being used that points to the v94's binary file?

It uses a launcher and I have looked at it in both versions and they are identical.

Does the v96 SFS load into the same location as v94?

Pretty sure they're in the same locations, but different layers

Clearing the cache had no effect.

Thanks for ideas, helped me eliminate things

@wizard

Aren't SFSs "under" the main Puppy sfs? (Whereas PET-installed apps are "over".)

See "Architectural Overview" diagram.

Rename 96 to be a ydrv to make it "overwrite" the 94 in the remastered main sfs........

Thanks, that's something I was looking for.

@peebee

Thanks, that works and is easy. I'm working on Cloudpup and want to have a easy way for users to update the browser.

Happy New Year
