This has happened to me occasionally under various linux distros(Redhat, Debian, Slack...) for years. I believe it's a flaw with Netscape itself, rather than with a specific distro/package. When it happens, just kill off the runaway process andeverything comes back to normal =) Annoying, but Konqueror and Mozilla are getting REALLY close to replacing Netscape for just about everything. -b3
Woody and Netscape Communicator
Has anyone noticed this situation. I'm running Icewm on Woody with kernel 2.4.1 and it kicks ass (very well done debian guys)even though it's still testing. My load meter seems to be pegged.I click Netscape and nothing happens. When I run Top to see whats taking up my Cpu I see communicator maybe 3 times. when I kill the one thats been running the longest the netscape I just clicked opens up. This doesn't bother me because I support Windows and Mac for work. I just wanted to see if I was just me or my machine ( I has Win2k which I even used once! When I was testing my dual boot.)

Installing Netscape Communicator 4.7x from official Debian 2.2r0 CDs
Dear community, I have installed Debian 2.2r0 from the 3 official CDs, a basically running X-Windows. Now I'd like to install and to configurate Netscape Communicator 4.7x on my system. apt-get install communicator tells: Package commuinicator has no available version, but exists in the database. E: Package communicator has no installation candidate. Do you have an idea or the experience, how to install Netscape Communicator correctly from the official Debian 2.2r0-CD-Set or what I've made wrong according to the packageinstallion with apt-get? Thanks Christoph Walther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Netscape Communicator Problem
Hi, when I start Netscape by calling "netscape" it starts two browser windows. One with the website I choosed in the preferences and one with the "about:mozilla" site.

Everything else has been running just fine though - I haven't noticed any other slowdowns. Quitting netscape, rm -fr ~/.netscape/cache/* and restarting netscape seems to have fixed the problem.

But.. I'm glad you got it working, but I can't understand why the libc5 version would not go. I've seen quite a few e-mail's on this list from people who are using it. > I do not understand this libc5 and glibc2 what are they and their > difference? That's a good question. In other words, I don't really know. There is a Glibc 2 HOWTO at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Glibc2-HOWTO.html Part 1.1 explains it better than I could. You can find that explanation at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Glibc2-HOWTO-1.html#ss1.1 I think Debian version 2.1 "slink" uses glibc 2.0 and Debian "potato" uses glibc 2.1. Hope this helps, Patrick

For that flavor of Netscape, you probably need to install the package "xpm4.7" from oldlibs which will put the file in /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4 I have /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 and it works fine with communicator-v461-export.x86-unknown-linuxglibc2.0.tar.gz Basically, it seems that your version of Netscape doesn't match your version of libXpm.so.4.

Actually, I have the same problem, though in Windows. Netscape only crashes for me when I have another program open at the same time, Richwin, AND when it encounters applets. It's very strange.

Netscape Communicator 4.5 & Java Applets
Reply-To: Hi, For some strange reason Communicator 4.5 crashes (bus error) whenever encountering ANY applet. I have tried a million things - reinstalled all libraries that communicator depends on, reinstall communicator, tried with no config files, tried tweaking the wrapper script. An email to Netscape's tech support had no response and posted a message on their Unix communicator list only resulted in "me too's". I previously used the java activator which worked fine for a couple of months and then bombed out on a missing symbol (some unrelated library upgrade). I asked the person at blackdown that was listed as contact and never got a reply. Activator has since disappeared. No one has these problems apparently and the bug report I filled has been left in oblivian (what can you do with closed src, right?). At one point I read every that I could find on dejanews including the linux netscape faq which didn't do anything for me. Anyways, this problems was present with slink and also with potato (current as of today). Tried different kernels including 2.0.3*, 2.1.125 and 2.2.*. I have a K6-200, 128 MB RAM, pleanty of disk space but not much hope for getting this resolved. Out of desperation I tried hotjava... and well, it sucks. Mozilla has a way to go. Lynx is awesome for some things but not these. Oh.. and one more interesting thing. At work communicator has no (read "some") problems with applets. Go figure. Suggestions, ideas, anyone?

Re: Segmentation Fault with Netscape Communicator 4.5
I second your reply. I mostly just lurk on this list because I don't know enough to ask a ?. But I also find it very difficult to search archives. I did it last week and the first 5 times the robot returned zero answers. I had to keep rewording the search to get anything. I finally got some replys but they never came up with the letter I was looking for. I know it is there someplace because I saw it a few months ago and at the time I was not that interested in the subject and did not save it. It has been very frustrating for me to search the archives on several occasions.

And when these people actually do post a question I think they'd appreciate a helping hand. Besides, isn't that what this mailing-list is about, to offer help and advice to those who need it?

Although I don't have to pay in the same way as our European friends, I must say that when I ask a question I would prefer to get a reference to a web page that actually gives an answer to the question rather than just get an answer from somebody on the list. The reason for this is that a web page reference will normally lead to comprehensive discussion on related topics which saves me asking an additional 20 questions. > >The archives on debian.org can be kind of annoying to search, since >after you do the search you can't click on any of the messages that >were found -- you just get "Not Found" errors.

Many of the European readers have to > pay big bucks to get mail off this list and a lot of your questions > have been asked before, and are in the archives. The archives on debian.org can be kind of annoying to search, since after you do the search you can't click on any of the messages that were found -- you just get "Not Found" errors. (This is surely a known bug in the search engine.) You have to note the subject of the message that you're interested in and look that up in the actual archives yourself. Instead of using www.debian.org, I'd suggest using dejanews to search the debian-user archives. Using dejanews's "power search" option, you can require that your search look in the group "linux.debian.user", which is this list. Kirk

You are probably using the old libc5 based NS versions. So you'll need to install libc5, libXpm, libg++, and libstdc++, all from the oldlibs section in Deb's distribution. You can also get libc6 based versions of NS from ftp.netscape.com, in the 'unsupported' sub dir. This will not require any oldlibs to be installed. -- Ed C.
Segmentation Fault with Netscape Communicator 4.5
Hi everybody, I have Communicator 4.5 installed on my Debian system. Right after installation, calling netscape resulted in the program not being able to find certain libraries. These libraries are: -libXpm.so.4 -libg++.so.27 -libstdc++.so.27 What I did was to make symbolic links in /lib. The links are as follows: /lib/libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.10 /lib/libg++.so.27=> /usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8 /lib/libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8 After I had made the symbolic links, typing "netscape" would start the program but result in a "Segmentation Fault". That's the only message I get from xterm. I got the same error message with v4.05. I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thanks a lot for your time. Anthony

No "sender" field with Netscape Communicator
I previously asked a question about messages sent out with Netscape
Communicator having a null "sender" field in the message header. This was
pointed out to me by a listserv who wouldn't let me subscribe to a mailing
list because of this omission. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to turn up an
answer, but someone in a Netscape support newsgroup gave me a clue.
The problem is solved by editing the ~/.netscape/preferences.js file and
adding the following parameter to the file:
user_pref("mail.suppress_sender_header", false);
Hope this saves someone some time...

Netscape Communicator 4.5?
I'm trying to install Communicator 4.5 on slink using the deb package(s), but something has changed since the last time I did this, and I think I'm missing a very basic piece of information on how to do it. I know how to do it manually using the tar.gz file, and I have no problem with the older netscape4 (Communicator 4.06) package which I'm running right now, but I'd like to install Communicator 4.5 using the deb packages. Can someone give me a quick rundown on what exactly is needed to do that - for example do I still need the communicator tar.gz file at all or?? I tried it by installing the following 3 packages in this order, which according to the dependencies looks correct. netscape-base4_8.deb netscape-base-45_4.5-1.deb communicator-base-45_4.5-1.deb However, I end up with no excecutable that I can find, even when I place the tar.gz file in /tmp as was previously required. Like I said, I'm missing something real basic, but no clue as to what. Hopefully someone can clear up my confusion. Thanks, Tom

With `-j [JOBS]' or `--jobs=[JOBS]' you can specify the number of parallel compiler invocations. So, if you have two CPU's you would probably say `make -j 2 '.

Re: Netscape Communicator and Mail
I think that PAP is not related to getting some connetion to your ISP when you use minicom. I might be wrong, but if you can't get minicom to achive some connection with your ISP then your problem is probably concerned with the modem (I think the PPP-HOWTO mention this). 1) Do you have a PNP modem ? 2) What exactly happened inside minicom ? Is it configured corrrectly ? When I issue ATZ inside minicom I am getting OK. How does it response in your system ? 3) does /etc/ppp/connect-errors says something ? 4) what are the relevant lines of /var/log/messages regarding the PPP connection in your system ?

Hi,
It's no quite so. The xisp realy distroyed the system. I wasn't very carefull
and it removed a lot of my base packages because of the dependencies. As the
system it was only one week old, I reinstaled everything without many remorses.
And for mail I have to use Win95. 8-(
By the way, can I use xisp with xforms 0.81 ? Even that xisp whants
xforms>=0.86 ? And will this package magically solve my problemes ?
About the dial tone now. The minicom has no problem to get the dial tone. The
pppd on the other hand has. Why ? I have try the "," with now use. I still get
"NO CARRIER" while minicom has no problem to get it !!! (The micom makes the
modem to "bep" while the scripts don't).
Any other idea ?

No dial tone means a hardware problem. Check your wires. Also change the
phonenummber to w2221479 . The "w" makes the modem wait some seconds. So
you should hear the relais klick and "catch" the line. You should hear the
dialtone ("b" in germay). Then the modem should dial the
number and you get this faxlike sounds.

You certainly don't have your "system destroyed". This is not
winblows. You still use it, don't you. Only the xisp package didn't fully
install because of a missing package.
There is xforms 0.81 in bo, but you better use xorms 0.86 . I just

Repost question regarding Netscape Communicator 4.04and News
I was not quite subscribed to this list when I originally posted this: === I have fallen WAY behind on the latest with Netscape Communicator, so forgive me if this has been answered... I checked on the debian faq-o-matic and support pages first. I am running Communicator 4.04 just recently upgraded from 4.03, and Debian version 1.3+ from a few months ago Whenever I attempt to read news, I get a bus error. Otherwise, everything works great. This was occurring with 4.03 as well. Are there any workarounds for this problem? Has anyone else experienced this one? I did not experience this with 3.x versions of Navigator. I have tried with and without the gnumalloc.so lib, along with various other settings. It seems that I cannot add a new News server, so that trying to read "discussions" crashes.

You can. If you install those from hamm/ tree - there would be no problem.
They are just installed in an alternative location.
Check out oldlibs/ section in hamm.

netscape is libc5 based binary and it needs all the shared libs it uses
to be libc5 based. You should install all the X11 libs without 'g'
(libc5 counterparts).

Netscape communicator helper applications and bash
I have Apache (from the debian distribution 1.3) running on a Toshiba 530CDT notebook running Linux 2.0.30 (debian 1.3). I also have Netscape communicator 4.04 on the same machine. When I configure edit preferences navigator applications to use acroread to open URLs pointing to pdf files as follows: DescriptionPortable Document Format MIME type application/pdf Suffixs pdf Application /usr/bin/acroread %s I get an error when I open URLs that point to pdf documents. The error is in the shell command communicator tries to run with sh: ((/usr/bin/acroread /tmp/MOsomething.pdf); rm /tmp/MOsomething.pdf)& where MOsomething.pdf is a temporary file in the /tmp directory. The problem is the (mis)matching of the parentheses. When run in an xterm window, I get the same error message. Apparently, the problem is with bash (/bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash) which complains about about the following syntax: ((echo A); echo B) Interestingly, at work we use bash on both SGI and Sun workstations. bash on Sun does have the same problem, while bash on SGI doesn't.

netscape communicator 4.03
Has anyone gotten an error like this one when loading Netscape 4.03? How can I fix this? netscape: locale `C' not supported. If the $XNLSPATH directory does not contain the proper config files, Netscape will crash the first time you try to paste into a text field. (This is a bug in the X11R5 libraries against which this program was linked.) Since neither X11R4 nor X11R6 come with these config files, we have included them with the Netscape distribution. The normal place for these files is /usr/X386/lib/X11/nls/. If you can't create that directory, you should set the $XNLSPATH environment variable to point at the place where you installed the files. -Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

That is, I think they bundle it or otherwise sell it. The guy who does the unix builds at Netscape takes pride in porting the client to various unix platforms (as do some of the developers), and some of the original developers there (mostly unix users) like linux along with all of the other unix platforms. In fact, it is rumored that some of the best field bug reports on the unix client came from linux users using that unsupported version... -dh (I guess I should disclaim that by saying that everything above is my opinion, and does not represent the views or intentions of [NSCP] my previous employer.) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Maybe they are running different copies of Netscape (the PATH maybe different). "type netscape" will tell you which version you are running. One might be a shell-script wrapper around netscape.

Re: Running Netscape Communicator
I just reread your original message and think I see the problem. You are starting X with xdm, right? Your environment variable are not read by X when xdm starts. You can fix this and possible other problems by sourcing .bash_profile or .bashrc in your .xsession file. For this to work, you must also have "allow-user-xsession" in /etc/X11/config.

RE: Running Netscape Communicator
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Usualy you need to move a file called moz40p3 to your .netscape directory. You should find it in the directory you installed Netscape in. But usulay if you do not have this file in the correct place it will also generate the error message when you start Netscape from an Xterm. You may wan't to look at the path entries in your .*rc files.
