Both Firefox and Chromium are missing from the Alpha-1 live CD . Transmission, Sylpheed and Pidgin are there but neither browser is present.

1) Download image

2) burn to CDRW or USB stick

3) boot

4) LXDE Menu -> Internet

Firefox is not supposed to be installed by default in Lubuntu. Could you tell if you can start start Chromium from the terminal? Thanks.

[Lars Noodén (larsnooden)]

Neither Firefox nor Chromium are available via the terminal in the Live CD or the fully installed desktop.

[papukaija (papukaija)]

Likely a bug in ubiquity. Chorimum is not supported in powrpc according to bug 959472.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

And Firefox currently not build from powerpc, see bug 987421, so neither Firefox or Chromium are available on powerpc.

[Lars Noodén (larsnooden)]

Firefox was available in 12.04, is there a way to carry it forward?

[Greg Faith (gregfaith)]

I can confirm the bug on my G4. However, I have installed FireFox 11.0 to the live session and it appears to be running okay. I am presently testing an install along side and when it completes I will attempt to install firefox to the Lubuntu 12.10 powerpc

The bug has been passed upstream, there is a fix in progress from Mozilla for Firefox for ppc. Please be patient.

[Greg Faith (gregfaith)]

I have just completed an along side install from a live/USB and I
installed FireFox
11.0 with Synaptic and it is working fine,,?? In fact I am using it right now,
Greg

Just completed an along side installation and installed FireFox 11.0 with Synaptic seems to work just fine.

[Lars Noodén (larsnooden)]

A work-around is to install Firefox manually. This works for both the Live CD and a fully installed system.

[Phill Whiteside (phillw)]

Do you need to enable one of the Precise repos to do this?

Regards,

Phill.

Firefox is present in the default Quantal repositories, nothing needs to be changed. It's just that it is missing from the default Live CD and default installation.

[Lars Noodén (larsnooden)]

This is also present in the Alpha2 series, at least in the 27 June edition. Lacking a browser makes it impossible to use the apport-bug tool.

[Lars Noodén (larsnooden)]

Seems to be fixed in the 200120716 build. Midori is also there.
