Midori install issues

Attempting to install latest Midori, on Linux Mint 17.3 XCFE

It appeared to install ok when I downloaded it and said yes to use package manager to install.

It chucked an error (not sure what) and wouldn't open.

So I tried to instaled it again with the package manager - again seemed to work but when I went to open Midori I get -

The page 'file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html' couldn't be loaded.
Error opening file: No such file or directory

I am new at this so it MAY be something obvious, in which case I apologise. A search of the site didnt find me anything relevant either./

Thanks for your help.

It is an old bug, because there has no /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html file. The fix is to make the file like.

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir -p  /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home
sudo nano  /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html

... the file

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<title>Midori install issues</title>

</head>
<body>
<a href="https://forums.linuxmint.com/posting.php?mode=reply&f=238&t=244396">Midori install issues</a>
</body>
</html>

... save and quit

Thank you I'll have a crack.
You'd think Midori would have addressed this by now....

Yes. Of course you can set a different page.
