| crhylove | Hey fellas! Doing a fresh Daedalus install, Google Chrome Remote Desktop isn't working. | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| crhylove | It keeps sending me back to Accept & Install, even though I've installed the package several times now. | 01:04 |
| gnarface | is that a package from non-free or something you downloaded from google? | 01:04 |
| crhylove | Yeah, Downloaded from Google. | 01:07 |
| crhylove | I use it to remotely manage servers. | 01:07 |
| crhylove | fast/easy. Usually. | 01:07 |
| gnarface | i'm sure there's a better alternative that's already in the repo but if you can find a relevant error i might be able to guess at a solution | 01:07 |
| crhylove | When I try to remove it via synaptic it says: | 01:08 |
| crhylove | pre-removal subprocess returned error exit status 127 | 01:08 |
| gnarface | gonna need more than that | 01:09 |
| gnarface | preferrably something from before you're removing it | 01:10 |
| crhylove | Same error from apt in the console. | 01:10 |
| crhylove | The install all went fine, but it never showed up as something managable remotely, which was the whole point. | 01:11 |
| crhylove | Now I can't remove it. :/ | 01:11 |
| gnarface | the pre-rm script is on there... i forget where off the top of my head but you should be able to easily see it | 01:11 |
| crhylove | sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error (code 1) | 01:12 |
| crhylove | Doing a quick init 6 on it.... | 01:13 |
| crhylove | Hmmm Think I found the error. | 01:15 |
| gnarface | ? | 01:16 |
| crhylove | Looks like: /var/lib/dpkg/info/chrome-remote-destop.prerm line 12: systemctl command not found | 01:16 |
| crhylove | Sorry for the slow. Have to type by hand, no copy paste. | 01:16 |
| gnarface | that tells us a lot | 01:17 |
| gnarface | and i bet if you find another complaint about missing systemctl it'll explain why it didn't start either | 01:18 |
| plasma41 | crhylove: Can you share the full chrome-remote-destop.prerm file in a pastebin? | 01:18 |
| crhylove | Yeah, probably can.... Give me a sec. | 01:19 |
| crhylove | patebin.com/R2PnucFP | 01:26 |
| crhylove | er pastebin.com/R2PnucFP | 01:27 |
| crhylove | Is there a way to force remove it without letting it try to run it's stupid broken script? | 01:34 |
| gnarface | you can just make the script exit 0 and it'll "work" but you should probably try to figure out what it's doing to see if any of it needs to actually run | 01:35 |
| plasma41 | crhylove: If you install the systemctl-service-shim package, you should be able to remove the chrome-remote-destop package without issue. | 02:03 |
| crhylove | Good plan. Thanks. | 02:06 |
| crhylove | After installing the shim, I completely removed everything, and then tried again with Google Chrome rather than Chromium. | 02:24 |
| crhylove | Success! | 02:24 |
| plasma41 | crhylove: My guess is that the chrome-remote-desktop package from Google tries to run its daemon as a systemd service which doesn't work on Devuan without a kludge. | 02:28 |
