I decided to install the new mplayerplug-in for Mozilla on a computer using apt-get. BIG MISTAKE! Now I can't get Mozilla or Synaptic to boot up. The boot up of my 9.0 Pro from grub even doesn't act the same. Is there a cure for this? ---Jim
A little terminology:
A trojan horse is a program that pretends to be one thing while in reality it does something completely different, usually reserved for malicious programs. Please don't call programs trojan horses just because you don't think they work, that's like calling people criminals when they're not. It's not very sociable
A program doesn't boot, a system boots, a program starts
Ah, well, I didn't call it a trojan horse --on my computer-- it acted like one. However, I did not try these programs from the command line, unless you mean, the box you get from pressing alt-F2, and I don't think you mean that. I will try it from the non-graphics command mode and see what I can see. Grub not acting the same, means instead oging right into the graphics that hold the users' names, it asked if I wanted to boot from hard-drive floppy etc. I probably should have tried rebooting the computer several times and see if it settled in it's old pattern.
Now, when you say "doesn't act the same", what does that mean? Could you be a little more specific?
If you start mozilla or synaptic from a command line, do you get any error messages?
FYI I have mplayerplug-in 2.70 installed and everything works perfectly
I am happy to hear that it worked perfectly for you, but not having Mozilla not start up, even with replacing it with the one that came with the distro, and even more surprisingly not having synaptic start up, has ruffled my feathers. I'm just happy I have put SuSE on more than one computer! ---Jim
