@LinuxUserNewbieForever Sorry for errors, but anyway that should be fixed in 56.2.5.1 :smile:.

[pirate486743186]

Actually, it did update, you can use it just fine. You can ignore that error, it's not important and alredy fixed for next version.

[LinuxUserNewbieForever]

I confirm that the issue is fixed. However @hawkeye116477 Where is the new commands for installing the new PPA? I spent a lot of time with google.com and startpage.com and I can't find any.

[pirate486743186]

I haven't tested them, but these should work.

echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hawkeye116477:/waterfox/xUbuntu_16.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox.list

curl https://build.opensuse.org/projects/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox/public_key | sudo apt-key add -

[LinuxUserNewbieForever]

@pirate486743186 I tested the commands on Linux Mint 18.3 XFCE in Virtualbox. I confirm it works.

[pirate486743186]

lol, virtualbox? i wasn't sure they were no errors. Not that they might be malicious. XD

[hawkeye116477]

@LinuxUserNewbieForever

All commands are here => https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Ahawkeye116477%3Awaterfox&package=waterfox :smile:

PS: VMware Player is better.

@hawkeye116477 Ok that link seems to be what I needed.

In my opinion that is not the best way to show someone information. The user can't just glance at the website and figure out where He needs to go. I had to use some concentration, and trial and error to find them. The first time I clicked on the ubuntu icon nothing happened. Then I tried the debian icon and then something happened. Then I tried the ubuntu icon again and then I got the link I needed.

I don't currently have a clean install that I can test the commands on. But here is the commands I will be trying, when I get one setup.

For xUbuntu 16.04 run the following:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hawkeye116477:/waterfox/xUbuntu_16.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install waterfox

You can add the repository key to apt. Keep in mind that the owner of the key may distribute updates, packages and repositories that your system will trust (more information). To add the key, run:

wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox/xUbuntu_16.04/Release.key -O Release.key
sudo apt-key add - < Release.key
sudo apt-get update

[hawkeye116477]

That links for instructions are now also on readme on my GH repo.

@hawkeye116477 Those set of commands for xUbuntu 16.04 seems to be working for Linux Mint 18.3 XFCE in VirtualBox. (It installed)

I did this:
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hawkeye116477:/waterfox/xUbuntu_16.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox.list"
sudo apt-get update

wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox/xUbuntu_16.04/Release.key -O Release.key
sudo apt-key add - < Release.key
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt install waterfox
