There is presently a wine bug that makes chromium as a browser not work. Detect and remediate. Also run update-desktop-database after install. Needed for snaps to pickup the new mime type.
fix: detect FaithLife-Community#435 and suggest changing wine channel. Should we force this? chore: updated "Get Support" text to add reminder about checking pinned issues before reporting refactor: store wine_binary as a sigil rather than a path for part of the installation so we can detect the difference between needing to download something and a file on the system (as well as figure out if the user just wants the recommended and doesn't really care about the details) refactor: change the API endpoint to get all the releases so that we can get the prerelease ones as well feat(TUI): add button to toggle wine release channel. Should this be on other UIs as well, especially if users are forced down this path to avoid issue FaithLife-Community#435? Something doesn't smell right UX wise.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Reviewed the code. Now I just need to test.

Had a user test, worked with a snap browser I tried to test with a snap browser and got it to launch firefox in a snap, but couldn't get back to OuDedetai (didn't detect the registration, and even if it did unsure if launching OD from INSIDE the snap is the best idea) Ending confused, do we need to make something more elaborate with DBus messages? Would rather not, this is getting complicated... The double "click here" buttons still work - it's possible we could add a help text for this |
Reproduction: - install once needing the -devel - run the install again - notice how it switched back to -staging Tested: - Debian chromium install once (-devel) - re-ran install (observed -devel)
