[opensuse] Installing Firefox 2.0.0.3
Im trying to install FFX 2.0.0.3 with smart - from repo http://software.opensuse.org/download/mozilla/openSUSE_10.2 It works fine on my 10.2 Laptop - but on my 10.2 server (no special difference, less stuff installed) I get a "gconftool-2" dependency that I just cant shake. I tried adding all the std repos and the install DVD - nothing. Also downloaded the file and tried per hand - nothing. I finally forced the install - seems to work, but still? I have gconf installed, and can run gconftool2.

Sometimes the dependency thing in Linux is not reliable and causes problems when there really isn't a problem. I have not run into this one installing FFx 2.0.0.3 (always smooth for me) but, I would say if you forced the install and things seem to be working ok then no problem. You might try posting a question on the Mozilla site.

Well, "whatever". Bugs in software happen, and so they may happen in packages (I mean in the metadata, dependencies, etc...).

Definitely not on the Mozilla site as it is a package related issue.
And that package is not built by someone from Mozilla.
But I didn't run into that problem either.
I have MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.3-3.2 and it has a dependency to the package
"gconf2", but not to "gconftool-2".
Maybe it was already fixed.

Maybe this should read: "not built by someone from Mozilla Corporation"

What's the problem with gconf2? gconf2 contains the gconftool-2 tool so it should be correct? Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, you shouldn't ;-) The gconftool-2 dependency is because of the system integration and upstream mozilla has nothing to do with it. First I wonder what the real error output is actually. The RPM package has no requirement for "gconftool-2". It just calls gconftool-2 in %post.

Hi, I'm using suse 10.0. So to FF 2.0 i upgraded just downloading it from FF site in version 2.0.0.1. Binaries from archive I unpacked to /opt/firefox and used it instead of old. To version 2.0.0.3 it updates from mozilla site by FF mechanism. Works perfect. -- With best regards, Andrew Senyshyn Hans van der Merwe wrote:

You are missing a few features of system integration in that case. If it really would be better we could just drop Firefox from the distribution. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

currently: - out-of-the-box integration of plugins delivered with openSUSE - automatic paper size setting for printing - dbus support (use offline mode if NetworkManager is offline) - man-page ;-) - lockdown mode (using gconf) - support for helper apps with arguments (through gnome-vfs) - multi-language install - integrated desktop files - startup notification support - proxy settings by system or Gnome config - compiled for your environment (a few more minor stuff)

Thanks. I didn't know about these things :( I'll notice this. One more question. As I understand other applications also will miss system integration if they are installed not from the distribution. Right? How to find which application will miss it and which will not? -- With best regards, Andrew Senyshyn Wolfgang Rosenauer wrote:

It should be around soon. Windows just updated to Tbird 2.0. I think it's RC1. -- Dwain Alford P.O.

Maybe this will help. http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/56745.html The Thunderbird http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ developers are in their final phase of Thunderbird 2.0 development, according to Scott MacGregor, the Thunderbird lead engineer. Thunderbird 2.0 RC2 (Release Candidate 2) is scheduled to be available by the end of the week for testing, MacGregor said in an interview. "If all goes well, and no problems are found, then RC2 will be the final release, scheduled for about the end of April." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
