Hi,
I installed www/linux-firefox from ports (FreeBSD 8.2/amd64). The
first time it ran, it did some checks. During this time there was an
unexpected power loss. Since then whenever I try to start
linux-firefox, I get the error message "An instance of firefox is
already. Close it or restart your system". But no solution works. I
even did a 'make deinstall' followed by 'make install clean' a couple
of times. All of no avail.
Can anyone please point out what I need to do to get linux-firefox to
start ?
Thank you &
If firefox is really running, you may try killing it. To see if it's
running, as root:
ps aux |grep firefox
One way of killing it (a "dirty one"):
killall firefox
OR look up the PID number for firefox (the first number from the left)
that the above ps command shows you and
kill <PID-number-of-firefox>
Still struggling with getting Flash to work and that's why you installed
linux-firefox instead of the native one? Sorry I didn't tell you last
time more specifics than just following the Handbook, I thought it was
detailed enough. How did you install the linux layer? Do you have linux
kernel module loaded and the linproc filesystem mounted?
