Re: Mozilla M18 on potato (pentium100)
hello!
i just downloaded M18 from this place and unpacked the archive to
/usr/local/mozilla/
but i have problems to start it.
when i try to run mozilla as root it says:
-
ranger:/usr/lib# /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla
/usr/local/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla-bin
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/local/mozilla
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla
LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla:/usr/local/mozilla/components
SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla
LIBPATH=/usr/local/mozilla
ADDON_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla
MOZ_PROGRAM=/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla-bin
MOZ_TOOLKIT=
moz_debug=0
moz_debugger=
Xlib: connection to :0.0 refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
-
what does that mean?? and yes, i did start it in X.
when i do the same as a regular user, i get no error message at all.
it just hangs after moz_debugger=
is there any .deb for m18?
In this case I recommend downloading the standard Mozilla build directly
from
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/release-notes/
where You will find several packages for Linux-x86 as generic Linux
binaries which I found out to run pretty stable on most of the Linux
distributions I've checked so far. But, honestly, be aware that M18 will
not run pretty fast on Your machine (as a matter of fact, it's slow on my
PII-350 on potato), so if You want to do faster browsing You should
consider using some more light-weighted browsers like skipstone
(www.muhri.net/skipstone) or galeon (galeon.sourceforge.net) which are
both based on the TML-rendering system of Mozilla ('gecko') and need to
have M18 installed on Your system, but they're much faster when it comes to
web browsing. :)))
HTH, have a nice day. :)
Regards,
Kristian

Sounds like you logged in as a regular user, opened up a terminal program like xterm, Eterm, Konsole, etc., and su'd (with the 'su' command or similair) to root and tryed to start mozilla as root. This does not work in Unix en thus Linux. In Unix de user that 'owns' the 'X' process that is running is the Only user that can modify the X-screen, not even root can do that. This is a (security) feature not a bug. :)

The great power behind X is that you can run clients from other machines and see them on your display. Actually, as root, he's being denied access. But if he adds his own host to the access control list (with the xhost command - xhost +hostname.dom), he is now allowed in.

Mozilla M18 on potato (pentium100)
Hi! I would like to run Mozilla M18 on my Pentium 100 MHz potato box. I've just downloaded the M18 binary build from mozilla.org, but I realized it was compiled for Pentium II processors. I don't want to upgrade my box to woody yet. Is there a Mozilla M18 package either .deb or tgz which can run on Pentium and potato? --Tibor Pap -.Sig Tibor Pap [EMAIL PROTECTED] -

I suppose so that i686 binary won't run on simple old pentium. as far as i know, it's merely aligned for that architecture - meaning it runs fastest on a ppro/II++ etc - but it can be run on something below. debian still compiles everything on m486 iirc. cheers damien pgp2y3n3QbCQo.pgp Description: PGP signature

As far as I know, you can just grab the mozilla and libnspr4 packages from woody and install them on a potato box. One or two other libraries might be required as well. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've got 32 megs on my machine, too, and it seems to be swapping a lot less now than previous releases. It's still a bit slower than, say Netscape 4.7, but I've found it to be fairly usable. Hubert
