Help. i upgraded to the latest version of Galeon from the ULB repository and now Galeon won't load. When I click on the icon, I get the hour glass icon for about 5 seconds or so and then it quits without Galeon running. Any suggestions? Don Henson

What version of mozilla do you have installed? What version of SuSE/version of Galeon? -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0).

If your using the Galeon from ulb then it's built against and requires the Mozilla from the ulb site. That would most likely be your issue. Try upgrading Mozilla to the pkgs from the ulb site.

That worked but shouldn't APT have told me that? (Thanks for the assist, by the way.)
Yep. It should have. It should have told you what it was installing and what it was holding back...etc..etc. It should have said that it couldn't install it. I've never seen apt upgrade something that didn't have all the dependencies satisfied. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===--- #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- Why do we bother with a suicide watch when someone is on death row?

You need to install the mozilla from U-L-B as well. Ken

Update Mozilla to 1.5 from my site, or ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla Or by apt :) -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 9.0).

It looks like you didn't install all of the required packages. Try reinstalling the packages needed for galeon. You can also try either removing or renameing the .galeon directory to see if it will run after that. Ken Schneider

Yep. You shouldn't have been able to upgrade Galeon via apt if all the deps couldn't be satisfied. I've never been able to get it to do that. If you do an "apt-get -f install" it should correct any weird dependency issues. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===--- #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- Why do we bother with a suicide watch when someone is on death row?

This is my bad ;) I didn't explicitly specify the version of Mozilla for Galeon, I always forget that Mozilla doesn't change the file names of it's libraries (ie there's no .so.3 or .so.2, just .so) while introducing API/ABI breakage. When building against other thing, Autoreqprov is great, mental note to self, put an explicit Requires line in for Galeon & Epiphany.

Galeon is extensibly a front end for Mozilla. The versions need to match (sort of). In otherwords, if you have moz 1.5 and the version of Galeon your using isn't compiled for that version it will fail. Check to see what version of Moz you have. I can also be that certain dependant packages aren't installed or mismatched. Outside of having all the dependencies met, missmatched Moz to Galeon versions is a likely culprit. HTH, Curtis.
