Hey all,

An article on /. says that Mozilla 0.9.3 is out and it's the version to get. I'm still running Netscape and would like to switch. I can grab the sources myself and build it but I'd much rather grab an official or semi-official SuSE rpm if possible. Anyone have an idea or guess when a SuSE rpm will be available for Moz. 0.9.3?

Oh yeah, I'm running SuSe 7.2.

Just install the mozilla package, move it to mozilla.orig or similar,

I might add. Move the directory /opt/mozilla from the the package to /opt/mozilla.orig. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.

Why wont it run non-root? I am lost. It works but I can't get it to work in any other account than root. There's a symlink in /usr/X11R6/bin/@mozilla and the files seem to be in /opt/mozilla any suggestions on how to make this available to a non-root user safely?

It's there now, in case you hadn't noticed

Like I said it works if I am root. if not root here is the strace. I am somewhat geek but not this much geek. IT looks like a bunch of read only files. If I have to change that many files I am just going to remove it. Hopefuly it will remove. I did a normal install using rpm -Uvh . Out of respect though. If someone who is MORE geek can figure it out. that's cool. I will just remove it for now. Since you asked me for strace. Have at it. I give up. I don't blame anyone, there was a disclaimer. It just isn't ready for SuSE 7.2 Pro as far as I am concerned. If I have to change a bunch of settings that just isn't right. anyway here is the trace. strace mozilla execve("/usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla", ["mozilla"], [/* 73 vars */]) = 0 uname({sys="Linux",

It runs fine for me in a user account. What happens when you run it?

Same thing as everyone else says. It prints the same stuff to the console then that's it. It never starts.

It's possible you have a file somewhere with the wrong permissions. Running an strace should tell you where the problem lies

I am sure there is a file with the wrong permissions. Problem is I haven't got a clue what file and What permission. And I rather keep my box locked down than go randomly changing permissions on stuff I don't know about. Don't get me wrong I am not blaming anyone. It's just I don't KNOW PERIOD.

I believe, your and my problem are not the same. My problem is with the program's ablity to open or start up. You could compare this to opening a console, or opening a dos box. If there is no window then the program didn't start. mozilla 0.8.1 works perfectly. Carefully read -=-=-=- 0.9.3 would not start at all if I logged on as a user. If I logged on as root it starts up just fine. -=-=-=- meaning if it started up just fine it will browse and do what it's supposed to. But if it doesn't start then I have no browser at all to discuss anything else at all because it just didn't start. Since browsing as root is a bad thing. The whole macromedia thing has nothing to do with this. There was no in between result. 0.9.3 did not start "sometimes" and then start at others. We know this is a permission or even a path problem. Which permissions and which paths are the question. I was asked to do a strace mozilla. Which I did. And at that time I said I was going to remove mozilla 0.9.3. Which I did. The next message ask me to privately send an strace -f mozilla by email. I assume this is because of the size of the result. Since I already removed it, I told him I would have to wait until morning, because I been up all day in the sun. I would pretty much say you have a seperate issue. If you are starting mozilla as someone other than root and mozilla came up. Personally I don't need Flash, or any macromedia anything. I get along just fine with opera, and konqueror. However since this was the "new stable" mozilla I decided to try it. Again, I leave no blame on anyone. I mean, hey it's free software, and the guy on the ftp left a message saying he doesn't guarantee it will work. In fact he said it would BREAK galeon, which it does break -btw. And I totally understand that. No harm was done, I was able to put mozilla 0.8.1 back in and everything works fine. Out of respect, I will install mozilla 0.9.3 again and do the strace -f mozilla that was asked for. Because I know it isn't going to hurt anything, and it will only go to troubleshoot why it isn't working for some. Another thing I noticed is that if you remove mozilla 0.8.1 and install 0.9.3 then you get a segment fault. I failed to mention that last night. I think your issues and problems DO help everyone, I just don't think it is the same problem and that is why I am clarifying that here. The only reason I bother to write this list and post the strace IS to help folks. If nobody like you and me said there were any problems then everyone else would assume there is no problem. Hopefully all these issues will be figured out. As a side note, I wonder why 0.9.3 makes Galeon seg fault? I guess well cross that bridge at a later time. When I refer to mozilla 0.8.1, it is the mozilla that comes with SuSE 7.2 pro on DISK #4 When I refer to mozilla 0.9.3 were talking about ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/egger/mozilla/7.2/*.* On Monday 06 August 2001 12:57 am, you wrote:

Like I said it works if I am root. if not root here is the strace. I am somewhat geek but not this much geek. IT looks like a bunch of read only files. If I have to change that many files I am just going to remove it.

<snip>

The same happens here with 0.91 and 0.92 when the Macromedia Flash plugin for Netscape is installed. Sometimes it works and even shows Macromedia content fine. Most of the time Mozilla won't even start. It just seems to hang without displaying a window.

I haven't bothered to find out what is causing this. I just removed the Flash plugin and everything seems fine now.

Hope this helps.

Just an update... I got it working in a user account now.

This is definetly _not_ the right way to fix the problem.

Definitely NOT. And that was not the reason of your problem

here is how: Logon as root in kde open Konqueror go to /opt right click on the mozilla directory go to properties change the owner from root to phil and group from root to users

Why so complicated? Isn't chown -R root /opt/mozilla ? :-)

I say it is proof that it is a permission problem as to why mozilla 0.9.3 don't run as anything but root.

OK, I don't know how you installed mozilla, I used installer, ran it as root and got: kastus@kastus:~ > ls -l /usr/local/mozilla total 3447 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 674 Aug 3 12:15 chrome -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 442651 Aug 3 12:15 component.reg drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 3016 Aug 3 12:15 components drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 100 Aug 3 12:15 defaults drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 93 Aug 3 12:15 icons -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27649 Aug 3 12:15 install.log -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 192148 Aug 1 05:52 libgkgfx.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95332 Aug 1 05:52 libgtkembedmoz.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 17136 Aug 1 05:52 libgtksuperwin.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11132 Aug 1 05:52 libgtkxtbin.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 96764 Aug 1 05:52 libjsj.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15548 Aug 1 05:52 liblber40.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 126820 Aug 1 05:52 libldap40.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 425428 Aug 1 05:52 libmozjs.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 52492 Aug 1 05:52 libmozz.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 273176 Aug 1 05:52 libmsgbaseutil.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 167496 Aug 1 05:52 libnspr4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 225544 Aug 1 05:52 libnssckbi.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13148 Aug 1 05:52 libplc4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7040 Aug 1 05:52 libplds4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 846692 Aug 1 05:52 libxpcom.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11428 Aug 1 05:52 libxpistub.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1720 Aug 1 05:52 mozilla -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 94209 Aug 1 05:52 mozilla-bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 67 Aug 3 12:15 plugins -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33940 Aug 1 05:52 regExport -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28607 Aug 1 05:52 regchrome -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16179 Aug 1 05:52 regxpcom drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 555 Aug 3 12:15 res -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8559 Aug 1 05:52 run-mozilla.sh drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 373 Aug 3 12:15 searchplugins -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 208792 Aug 1 05:52 splash.xpm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40444 Aug 1 05:52 xpicleanup kastus@kastus:~ > I can run mozilla as ANY user, and it works. It does not write anything in /usr/local/mozilla. You are definitely looking in wrong place. I'd better look for files with wrong ownership in user's home directory. -Kastus

I could probably chown each subdirectory one at a time logically eliminating which directory and files are the culprit. But I am pretty sure that there is a better way to find out. I do not know what that way is. I sent off that strace -f to the person who requested it, so maybe there will be a safe fix. Then again, maybe not.

I just shut off cookies, javascript, installation of new things automatically, turned off animations, only allow graphics from the originating server, turned off forms manager, turned off password manager, turned off smart browsing, and added a proxy to mask my IP, hopefully this is enough to make up for the bad permissions, until some Authority can help straighten this issue out.

I believe, your and my problem are not the same. My problem is with the program's ablity to open or start up. You could compare this to opening a console, or opening a dos box. If there is no window then the program didn't start.

mozilla 0.8.1 works perfectly.

Carefully read -=-=-=- 0.9.3 would not start at all if I logged on as a user. If I logged on as root it starts up just fine.

regarding the broken galeon with mozilla 0.9.3 I downloaded the following files http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/galeon/galeon-0.12pre1-1.i386.rpm ftp://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/GConf-1.0.3-2.i386.rpm I installed them, galeon is now working again. It may have broken something else though, but I haven't found it.
