[16:05] <thafreak> Anyone ever try running firefox from a chroot?
[16:06] <thafreak> for example to run a 32bit firefox on 64bit linux...so all the proper libs are in one place
[16:39] <thafreak> huh, found an article/wiki page that mentions the use of 'schroot' package...
[16:40] <thafreak> seems to be like a more powerful chroot...letting you execute individual commands in the chroot...
[17:07] <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
[18:44] <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
[18:48] <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
[18:49] <thafreak> I know 64bit openjdk does not work for anything I've used it for so far
[18:51] <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
[18:56] <thafreak> Also, btrfs subvolumes/snapshots are really cool for this kind of stuff
[18:56] <thafreak> chroots that is
[18:59] <thafreak> HA! success!
[19:00]  * thafreak now has firefox running from a chroot...w/32bit openjdk
[19:02] <thafreak> and spoke too soon
[19:02] <thafreak> try to actually USE the java plugin, and it all crashes
[19:10] <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
[19:32] <thafreak> ok, nope openjdk just doesn't work in general I guess
[20:10] <thafreak> Alright, so, it seems oracle java works afterall
[20:35] <dzho> goooooood!  I can feel your anger!
[20:35] <dzho> give in to the power of the dark side!
[20:36] <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
