Installation problem on Ubuntu 24.04
Posted: Tue May 21, 2024 8:58 am
I just tried to install the browser on a new install of Ubuntu 24.04.
1. I downloaded https://www.srware.net/downloads/iron64.deb to the Downloads directory.
2. I opened a terminal window and cd Downloads
3. I ran
I then get an error message saying:
I tried to give iron64.deb file the x permission, but that didn't help. How can I get the browser installed?
And although I have two icons with the logo of the Iron browser (one name SRWare Iron, the other Chromium), clicking on them doesn't actually open anything.
