| thafreak | Anyone ever try running firefox from a chroot? | 16:05 |
|---|---|---|
| thafreak | for example to run a 32bit firefox on 64bit linux...so all the proper libs are in one place | 16:06 |
| thafreak | huh, found an article/wiki page that mentions the use of 'schroot' package... | 16:39 |
| thafreak | seems to be like a more powerful chroot...letting you execute individual commands in the chroot... | 16:40 |
| dzho | thafreak: doesn't normal chroot allow you to run individual commands inside it? | 17:07 |
| dzho | sudo chroot /path/to/some/chroot-dir /bin/bash | 17:07 |
| dzho | etc | 17:07 |
| thafreak | dzho: yeah, it seems to, and as non-privileged users too... | 18:44 |
| thafreak | so I'm not 100% sure what schroot offers honestly | 18:44 |
| thafreak | All this so that I can run firefox with oracle java plugin and not have it taint my main system :/ | 18:48 |
| thafreak | Actually...maybe 32bit openjdk works ok still | 18:48 |
| thafreak | I know 64bit openjdk does not work for anything I've used it for so far | 18:49 |
| dzho | thafreak: maybe it's a way of doing chroot either setgid root or drops privileges or something | 18:51 |
| thafreak | ah, you're right | 18:51 |
| thafreak | I think I saw something about normal users running it | 18:51 |
| thafreak | running firefox as root, even in a chroot is probably bad | 18:51 |
| thafreak | Also, btrfs subvolumes/snapshots are really cool for this kind of stuff | 18:56 |
| thafreak | chroots that is | 18:56 |
| thafreak | HA! success! | 18:59 |
| * thafreak now has firefox running from a chroot...w/32bit openjdk | 19:00 | |
| thafreak | and spoke too soon | 19:02 |
| thafreak | try to actually USE the java plugin, and it all crashes | 19:02 |
| thafreak | hmmm...icedtea 7 seems to work...maybe I won't have to go down the dark oracle path afterall? | 19:10 |
| dzho | care to take you must, training not yet complete | 19:10 |

| thafreak | ok, nope openjdk just doesn't work in general I guess | 19:32 |
| thafreak | Alright, so, it seems oracle java works afterall | 20:10 |
| dzho | goooooood! I can feel your anger! | 20:35 |
| dzho | give in to the power of the dark side! | 20:35 |
| dzho | Oracle would be one of those Sith who likes to wear a lot of red. | 20:36 |
| * dzho has a friend who works for Oracle on linux stuff | 20:36 | |
