Re: [CentOS] Firefox 5 on Centos 5.6

Well, today firefox pushed down an update to Firefox 4.0.1 without saying what it was, and it turns out to have been firefox 5. fine, I wanted it anyway. But when I restarted it, I got a completely black browser window. Clicked on the X close button and got a completely black confirmation dialog. weird. exited it and tried safe mode. Works fine. ldd reports no conflicts or missing libraries. anybody else seen this? anyone got suggestions on what I should try next? Thanks! My guess is that you compiled from source, and that is not something (vast majority of) CentOS users do, so I would not hold my breath that anyone uses Firefox 4 on CentOS 5.x. Just return to 4.0 and you should be fine, I guess. Actually, no. it's the binaries from mozilla.org, though. firefox 4 did the update itself, again using the mozilla.org binaries. libstdc++.so.6 is a part of gcc libraries. I would like to have Firefox 4/5, but not at the cost of messing with the core part of my system.

I found that /usr/sbin/gdm-restart will also do the trick. thanks, On Thu, Aug 13, 2009 at 5:13 PM, Ron Loftin relof...@twcny.rr.com wrote: On Thu, 2009-08-13 at 16:59 -0700, grace rante wrote: Does anybody know how to restart X in centos 5.3? /etc/init.d/gdm | xdm seems to be missing. Those scripts never existed. GDM runs from an entry in /etc/inittab, not from an rc script. You should have these two lines in /etc/inittab: # Run xdm in runlevel 5 x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon So if you have a need to restart X, do telinit 3 ; telinit 5 and that will stop and start the gdm process. thanks, ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- Ron Loftin relof...@twcny.rr.com God, root, what is difference ?
