It seems like you have a new version of Gnome and an old Mozilla, and Galeon which is not in testing. You might get Galeon and Mozilla to work by killing gconfd-2, if it is running, then starting gconfd-1, and then the browser. Better yet, apt-get the current versions of mozilla and mozilla-firebird. -- No character, however upright, is a match for constantly reiterated attacks, however false. -- Alexander Hamilton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Unfortunately these do not work. One further information is that not only mozilla-bin but another process called "gconfd-2" is left hanging and must be killed.

Same systems runs konqueror and netscape perfectly. Galeon, however, will not start up either. Advice appreciated. Lux Try killing all instances of mozilla, then rename your ~/.mozilla directory to move it out of the way, and then start moz. If it starts, you can move your bookmarks, etc back over and hopefully recover from there. You might even want to restart X; it seems to me that sometimes Moz and friends somehow get hosed over time (memory leaks?), and a restart of X fixes it (reminds me of Windows - yuck, but at least you don't have to restart the box, just X). -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
