I would assume anyone installing the firefox extension did it with the intent of using it for beagle and hence beagled would be running. Hmm... I guess the above assumption is not valid for live-cds anymore. But does it make sense to use beagle for live-cds ? Most live-cd users use the live-cd for testing and the index is not saved past reboot. If you want a single medium for live-cd and installation, I am sure you have a way to install a package in the hard-disk but not install it in the live-cd image. Any other suggestions on what can be done ? Upstream does not want the extension to create .beagle if it does not exist since it is a sufficient test if beagle is not being used. The extension does not want to keep saving the viewed webpages and waste diskspace if beagle is not being used. We, upstream, can either silence the alert box and continue as of now or provide an option to the user to disable the extension (not the cross icon on the beagle icon in firefox status bar but completely disable it). But again, this is a behaviour ok for hard-drive installs but will definitely be annoying in a live-cd. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

i wonder, why is beagle-firefox installed by default and beagle is not? and why doesn't beagle-firefox hard-depend on beagle? or is there an usecase for beagle-firefox present and beagle missing?

Beagle is installed, its just turned off for the Live CD user account. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Then the same should be done for the Livd CD user account i.e. the extension installed but "disabled". Extensions can be disabled using the firefox add-ons manager or by adding 'NS1:userDisabled="needs-disable"' to (the urn is the exact match)

I have no idea if the live CD has a full pre-set Firefox profile. If it has, that change in extensions.rdf sounds about right. If there is no profile created the addon could be added to %{_libdir}/firefox/blocklist.xml This list is overridden if there is an updated version provided by a Mozilla backend though but it should be effective for new created profiles.

On a related note, I checked in a fix upstream to not show the alert box but instead display the error in the tooltip of the beagle icon in the status bar. http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/beagle?rev=4762&view=rev Live-cd users might still complain about this but I feel this is a special case for live-cd users only; normal users should be notified if the .beagle is for some reason not found.

That also sounds like a feasible workaround, doesn't it? It's not quite nice but the above disabling looks more hackish. I'm not aware of any other way to tell Firefox to just ignore that addon if running under a special user. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
