Re: [newbie] Problem with firefox script execution...
Hello, I created the firefox file to always opening my links in it. When I try from as root from a shell konsole to execute the script I get this [EMAIL PROTECTED] rhein]# chmod 0755 /user/bin firefoxbugfix chmod: failed to get attributes of `/user/bin': No such file or directory chmod: failed to get attributes of `firefoxbugfix': No such file or directory The file and the directory exist what is wrong? What is the chmod 0755 for? Thank you Christophe Le Dimanche 22 Février 2004 16:41, Todd Slater a écrit : On Sun, Feb 22, 2004 at 11:07:08PM -0500, Christophe Rhein wrote: How do I do that? No idea how to do a script??? Is it creating a file? Thanks and good night! Christophe Just copy and paste the script into your favorite editor (the script starts with #!/bin/bash and ends with exit). Edit paths as necessary. Save it and then make it executable by opening a terminal and giving the command chmod +x scriptname where scriptname is whatever name you gave the script when you saved it.

I can not open the link (exept pasting it). Where can I desactivate the profile manager? Thank you Christophe I put this script in /usr/bin and tell all my apps to use it for handling Web pages. It opens pages in a new tab, if you want you can use new-window instead.

Hop I can solve it because I can not open my links strait in firefox! Bye Christophe Argh, I gave you the answer once already: Open a terminal. Become root. Type: chmod +x /path/to/firefoxbugfix replacing /path/to with the real path. Or if you're in the directory where it's located just: chmod +x firefoxbugfix If you want to use the numbers then yes, a space between everything chmod 755 firefoxbugfix Todd Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
