Hello I'm on my father's old hp pavilion dv4000 with 2 GB of RAM and 60 GB of storage.
I installed zorin OS light 15.3 on it with the option erase disk and install zorin OS. That means that Windows XP is totally gone.
Problem : I can't install apps from the store app.
It works, but I can't launch them and when I reboot the computer, they're gone from the section 'installed' of the store app, but not from my desktop.
It's impossible to launch chromium from terminal too. Even if installed via the terminal using : sudo apt install chromium-browser.
When I type chromium-browser and click enter, it says illegal instruction...
Command 'chromium-browser' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install chromium-browser

and of course when i wrote "chromium-browser" again it showed "illegal instruction" again. But this time i was expecting it...
I did everything, then restarted the computer, but same result when I type chromium-browser I get illegal instruction. And when I click chromium it doesn't open...
By the way, never the icon of chromium went away from my computer. Even after uninstalled. And I have two icons of chromium in my start menu
The system may be confused by all these installations.
Check if chromium-browser is installed by any other means.
(this is where Synaptic is very useful...)
But you can select to remove from the Software Store.
