firefox aswell
yeah this is a recurring problem, you need to add a new user then use that user from now on
It's not just to create neww profiles for the browsers?
I didn't see this before, why has no one answered them?
Thread posts rarely get a response if they were with no activity for I guess whatever time specified in the server.
oh, well thanks for showing me because I told them now
wait so how many have I missed like this? because I've felt like I've answered almost (*some I can't answer, but I've at least checked all's that I've seen) every thread that's popped up
i gotta create a new profile just for browsers? or i can copy my current profile to a new one and use it like that?
you would just use that new user normally, and yes you can use your old files by putting it in the same group, particularly the sudo group
I don't know too much about that tho oops.se will have to help you with that
hmm, yeah, i did a copy with a script and same problem presisted, i'll see
even a reinstall doesn't work? hm
If you have a damaged profile that isn't removed when uninstalling, then reinstalling isn't going to help.
i formated the whole SDcard then redid it
no please listen to our solution
you need to add a new user!
Yup, i tried it with a new user and it seemed to work, but i tought it would be a hastle to keep switching users so i formated the sd card and reimaged it, fresh new install, i still had the same problem, but ig i'll have to go with that for now if it's the only fix
to add a user run these commands
sudo useradd -m [username]
your not meant to switch. if you give this new user sudo perms you won't have to switch at all
unfortunately this is the only solution we found, re flashing or anything won't work
then run
sudo passwd [username]and enter a password
one second let me find out how to add sudo perms
ok to add sudo perms you enter sudo visudo and add
`[username] ALL= (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALLto the last line and press ctl+o, also you might want to remove ".tmp" fr;m the end of the filename for security measures
If he reimaged the SD thats like a new user
but it would still have a single user right? most likely "pi"
and root ofc
afaik you need a second "normal" user added
Ok, thats make more sense.
yeah
I mean the solution doesn't make sense but it works and through experience I don't think there's another one
i didn't have the single user, Pi, i only have my normal made user, as before i made 3 users to test stuff out to fix it, all got deleted in the full format and reimg, i'm getting a better SDcard later on today probably and i'll test it out, what i wanted to setup was access to "browser" user that the browsers work on with my normal user, so incase i need to dw some files/etc i can access all of those files, i'll check back later
you wouldn't need a special browser user, that user can be your normal. and a different SD card wouldn't change anything. and when I say pi I just said that because it's the default user, you may have named it differently
