Add to

note that the error you were having was related to a shared library
not found. For some reason the installationof MozillaFirebird does
not add /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird to the /etc/ld.so.conf.

I was using Mozilla and changed to MozillaFirebird recently; I like it.

Put it in /opt/mozillaFirebird.2004-02-04 if you are installing 
binaries.  There are multiple files the binary installs, and this 
ensures they do not mix with a bin file.  You will have to create the 
directory.  Then create a symbolic link to the executable 
from /opt/bin.

Re: [gentoo-user] mozilla-firebird

[Valmor de Almeida]

Thanks.

Here is another problem

bash-2.05b# MozillaFirebird
/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/mozilla-xremote-client: error while loading shared libraries: 
libplds4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/mozilla-xremote-client: error while loading shared libraries: 
libplds4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Unknown error 127 from mozilla-xremote-client

I do have the shared objects in /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/libplds4.so

But my /etc/ld.so.conf reads

# ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to
# contents of /etc/env.d directory
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3
/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib

even after I do env-update it is still the same.

If I include /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird to /etc/ld.so.conf
and do ldconfig, then MozillaFirebird works.

How can I modify /etc/env.d  to get the correct /etc/ld.so.conf
once I run env-update?

Thanks.

Not unless you want to install the precompiled version too!

mozilla-firebird-bin is a binary package. It's much smaller than sources, so 
you have to emerge it only if you have a slow connection.  I'm only wondering 
why mozilla.org provides only one source for every platform instead of 
providing the source for each OS and architecture.

Try /usr/bin/MozillaFirebird 


If you have built net-www/mozilla-firebird, I would stick with it. I 
have been having random crashes with my binary install.
In the future, after an ebuild is complete, look back in the last 100 
or so lines of output. There will be a list of files that have been 
added to your computer. Look for files that have been added 
to /usr/bin or /usr/sbin. These most likely are the executables.

The executable is called /usr/bin/MozillaFirebird. Just run it.
You might want to create a /usr/bin/Mozilla symlink to it, just to satisfy

I installed mozilla firebird and I want to use the bookmark file from
mozilla. However, I haven't been able to find a local dir where that
would be stored, as mozilla stores in $HOME/.mozilla.

Does anyone know where the bookmark file for firebird should be stored?

make the /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/chrome directory writable (su, chmod,

on the directory back to the original (755 or something).

yeah, effectively same as below.

I happen to be on a Windows box at the moment so I can't verify this...

I recall that I was asked at install time whether I wanted to install the 
extension shared or not.  I also recall a non-obvious response was 
required (Cancel?).

Anyway, I know that I could not get the shared option to work with my 
existing users perms so I tried the "other" option and it worked (Tab 
Extension).

[gentoo-user] mozilla firebird extensions

[Andrew Kirilenko]

Hello!

I'm wondering is it possible to install any extensions for firebird
0.6.1. The first thing I have tried is installing extension simply
clicking xpi link in the browser. And it told me that I don't have
permissions to do this. I have tried to do this via root (it's really
not good) and it installed it correctly and I even can access it, but
only while running firebird as root. More, after some experiments I have
totally broked firebird (luckely, I have backuped
/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird).

Best regards,
Andrew.

The same thing happened to me the first time I rebooted after 
switching from phoenix to MozFb
if you had phoenix on the box, look for:
file:///home/USERNAME/.phoenix/default/vy5yik9b.slt/bookmarks.html
If it's empty like mine was, I think you're fsck'd. The good news, for 
me at least, was this was the impetuous for backing up the machine 
nightly.

Thanks for that.

I'm certainly not impressed. I've had no issues with my system at all
for the past three months, now it goes and wipes itself.

I'll see if I can find a way to undelete files on a ReiserFS partition.

[gentoo-user] Mozilla Firebird loses configuration?

[Paul Fraser]

I came back to my PC tonight and logged on, checked emails etc, all
good. A few minutes later I opened Firebird and behold, all my bookmarks
and settings have been lost. It's defaulting to a blank bookmarks file
and the mozilla.org site.

As one would imagine, I'm somewhat peeved.

Is there any way to recover this lost data? There's quite a few
bookmarks I need...

Cheers,

Paul.

I see this too, not only a KMail thing the sender users:

so yes, user re-education is necessary.

KAppFinder can only add apps it already knows about.

OpenOffice.org should be added automatically when it is emerged if you had the

Kevin PLEASE do not start a new thread by replying to an old one and 
changing the subject. Start a new thread by opening a blank mail and 
typing in the address, or by clicking on the address in the headers 
of any list post. The way you've been posting arranges replies to 
your questions under an unrelated thread.
To answer your question, to start Firebird, open a konsole and type 
MozillaFirebird. You can create an icon on your desktop for it by 
right clicking on the screen background. Go up to the top of the menu 
to "create new" and select "link to application" set a name for the 
link by typing in the box on the "general" tab. Don't worry about 
permissions for this. Go to the "Execute" tab and type 
MozillaFirebird in the box. Click the OK button and you should be 
good to go. You can select a different icon by clicking on the icon 
on the "general" tab.
You can add programs to the KDE menu by going to the "start 
applications icon (bottom left corner) choose "settings" and then 
"Menu Editor". for an internet application, click the plus sign (+) 
to the left of "Internet". Highlight the word internet, then click 
the "New Item" icon (top left). Enter a name to appear on the menu, 
click OK where it says Command, in this case you can just type 
MozillaFirebird, but in some cases you would need to type the full 
path to the executable, in this case /usr/bin/MozillaFirebird
You can also set a keyboard shortcut here too but before you do that 
I would learn what shortcuts are included by default first. You don't 
want to mess up here. I once by mistake set open office to open on a 
shortcut of "s" Yup, you got it. Every stinkin time I typed the 
letter "s" anywhere, Open Office opened.

you need to run "kappfinder".  it'll go through your box and find programs 
that can be run from kde and allow you to select which ones you want

At this stage, most applications are not added to menus automatically. For 
KDE, you'll need to use Settings->Menu Editor to add a menu item for it. I 
don't know what the name of the executable is - somebody else can help there. 
If you want to find it yourself, do:

Unmerge ExtUtils-MakeMaker, and Perl will be happy to upgrade. You'll
have to decide whether you want to install MozillaFirebird from the
sources or keep MozillaFirebird-bin, since you can't have both in the
same system. And xft needs to go, because of interference with XFree's
own virtual xft (says the ebuild).

Thanks Shane. For others that come accross this and have trouble setting 
it up, once you have MozEx installed, you need to set it up. In Mozilla 
Firebird, go to tools--> options--> extensions and select mozex. Click 
settings and activate "intercept mailto: clicks. Under mailer command 
type in:

/usr/kde/3.1/bin/kmail %a  OR the full path to your emaill app followed

After restarting MozillaFirebird, you're good to go

Check out the MozEx extension.  It does exactly what you are looking

[gentoo-user] mozilla-firebird and text input

[rh]

When using MozillaFirebird, I can enter text in 
the dialog boxes but it just doen't get used for some reason. For example, 
I enter text into the search field on google, hit enter or click search, and I 
get tossed to the search screen looking for input. I enter a URL at the top, hit 
enter, it says done but the page doesn't load. Other than entering text, 
MozillaForebird works fine. No other program seems to be affected but granted I 
don't use a whole lot of other GUI apps. 
 
I know it happened before and by remove the ~x86 
accept keyword, doing a emerge -u world, which downgraded a bunch of stuff, 
fixed the problem.
 
Tried to do that again but it didn't solve it this 
time but interestingly MozillaFirebird was not downgraded from .6.1 to the .6.r 
series so maybe that's the problem.
 
Does anyone know which file or app looks after text 
input or is it going to be Mozilla that's the problem. Just don't want to have 
to re-emerge a bunch of stuff I don't have to.
 
Does anyone know 

[gentoo-user] Mozilla & Firebird need different java plugins?

[Dhruba Bandopadhyay]

Hello,

I'm not sure what's changed recently but suddenly I find that java only 
works on either Mozilla or Firebird.

Using sun-jdk java plugin: Java works in Firebird but not in Mozilla
Using blackdown-jdk plugin: Java works in Mozilla but not in Firebird
What is the universal solution?

With regards.

What you have described here are essentially milestones such as 0.5 and
0.6.  Since mozilla 1.4 has been released now development on Firebird and
Thunderbird will begin more aggressively.  So if you think that milestone
releases take too long they are just about to get a whole lot faster.  I
doubt there is any point in putting effort into trying to find milestone
quality nightly builds when there are actual milestones released every now
and then.

You mean they release several 0.6 versions that they consider stable?

Just download that snapshot and rename it to whatever file the current
ebuild asks for and place it in /usr/portage/distfiles. 

Then use ebuild ebuild_name.ebuild digest, and emerge it.

Use the mozilla-firebird-cvs ebuild and you'll have the latest.

Well, I don't like updating every night because the nightlies frequently
introduce new bugs or fail to fix current ones. Every now and then they
release one thats stable, relativly bugfree and has all the new features
implemented since 0.6 

Its the latest of those builds that I think should be in portage. Of
course, identifying and maintaining this ebuild takes a bit of research.
(Not that hard, Firebird forums always have a massive thread discussing
the current "best" build)

Someone has to be willing to do that, and be able to construct the
ebuild for submission. That way everyone can have the latest stable
build w/o having to research it themselves (and manually install it)

I just use a bash script for this. I chose to use the nightly binary
release instead of the CVS, as there tends to be fewer problems...

I can send you the script if you want...

At the moment, you can get the latest mozilla firebird by emerging
mozilla-firebird-cvs.  I'd really like a mozilla firebird nightly binary
ebuild but I'm almost sure that this proposal will be refused outright if
made.

[gentoo-user] Mozilla Firebird ebuild

[Trevor Gordon]

Right now the current version of Mozilla Firebird on portage is 0.6,
that last "official" release. However, since Firebird is in active
development there are nightly binaries released. Usually there is some
minor problem with them, but several are stable, and offer features
default 0.6 doesnt. 

It would be great if someone with experience with ebuilds (And Firebird)
can find a recent, stable build and make an ebuild for it to possibly
replace the one on portage (or simply have the option to use it instead
of 0.6). Would the devs even allow it on portage if someone were to do
this?
