trouble brining up chromium in appvm?

[gaikokuji...@gmail.com]

I installed chromium in my fedora template (sudo dnf install chromium) and it seemed to install no errors, I was able to run it as well, started right up.

I then created a appvm and add the chromium shortcut (which is there) then go from the launcher to start up chromium but after I click on it nothing happens? I have tried from the terminal and can't seem to open it from the appvm terminal (can from the template terminal). I then tried to install it in the new appvm and it installed and started ok but of course after I restarted the appvm everything was nuked.

I'm stumped.

This may seem stupid, but did you reboot the Guest after you installed?

Did you boot the AppVM after the TemplateVM was updated?
It's not a Standalone AppVM is it?

Did you try (in the appvm) doing a locate for the browser to see that it actually sees it? (Then also try running providing full path)

Well first off, completely rebooting my computer seems to have resolved whatever it was but (as I answered below) I did reboot the guest (the template right?) it is not a standalone and i did boot the appvm after the template was updated.

Another small question though, I wasn't familar with "locate" i tried it and was prompted to install mlocate (did within the appvm and then it error'd about no db? Is that normal?)

yes it is normal, you need to run "updatedb" for it to get it's internal db updated.

no you don't reboot the template, you just shut it down. Then you restart/load the appvm you want with the new program, after the template is shut down.
