Re: [newbie] Netscape Mail
OK Steve. My bad. Didn't think to Google my question first. Your idea worked. Did a search at Netscape and found the answer right away. The CLI command, by the way, is /usr/lib/netscape/netscape -mail , assuming that this is the location for Netscape on your PC, which it is for me. Worked like a charm. Created a menu entry and it's all good. That's 2 problems fixed this morning. Now, I gotta get a handle on my World Peace project ! Trying to get it done before lunch! Grin!

On Friday January 10 2003 04:32 pm, ivette brusselmans wrote: Did this at least 10 times. Always get the same answer : download failed due to multiple CRC failures. What could be the cause? CRC (cylical redundancy checks) are used in data transmission to verify the data's integrity. CRC is used over d/l connections, but it is also used by other data tranmissions and devices, including hard drives. Western Digtal hard drives can't, and failing drives often don't perform proper CRC checks. Some motherboard chipsets with certain combinations of peripheals (AGP cards, high bandwidth PCI devices, eg, SB Live!), also occaisonally perform bad CRC checks. Cables that need replacing or re-seating can also cause CRC errors. So the problem could be many things, but most likely a bad file, bad d/l connection, or hardware problems. Try using a different d/l application than the one you've been using, specially if you were usin a browser, and specially if the browser was Nutsrcape. NS is infamous for corupting d/l's. IMO, the safest bet would be to use 'wget' or 'curl' from the command line in a terminal to get the file. If you still have a problem with the file, try tar'g or zip'n up the contents of a several hundred MB directory, creating the new archive on a different partition, and preferably to a partition on a different hard drive. This is easy to do with Archiver (ark). If the new archive will unpack and the files match your originals it's a good indication (but not proof) you aren't havin hardware problems. IE, the HDD's, the motherboard (chipsets and controllers), the cables will have done their job properly. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Causes for this can range from bad CRC over your connection, bad read/writes to the disk you're downloading it to, corrupted file where you're getting it from - the list goes on. But what you might want to try is to download it to a different location than the one you're constantly downloading it to. Try downloading it to a VFAT partition instead of a linux partition - if you have one - and if not, try downloading it as a different user on your system - like root - instead of the user - that might help. -- Sat Jan 11 09:40:01 EST 2003 9:40am up 11:51, 3 users, load average: 0.17, 0.31, 0.34 -- |____ | kuhn media australia| | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn| | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ || | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| | |'. `\ | | |icq: 5483808 | | ;/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.---.| | mobile: 0410-728-389| | ' `-`' | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | -- * linux user:267497 * RH 7.3+ * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting -- Absence makes the heart grow fonder -- of somebody else.

Re: [newbie] Netscape 7 for linux
Main reason I prefer netscape 7 over mozilla is netscape mail. Mozilla mail will not work for netscape web mail period. You can put all the IMAP settings in manually but will error out every time. They intentionally must have set it up that way. I have 2 netscape webmail accounts that I rely on (one is for my resume and job postings) so I can't afford to be without it. And I hate having to go to netscape and log in to see my mail. Otherwise, I would use mozilla exclusively. Todd F.

Re: [newbie] Netscape plugins
Do you have your path to Netscape 6 set up properly? From what I remember, Netscape 6 installs into a different location than Netscape 4.x did. I would double check on where it is located, then run the Crossover setup program, and under the General tab, change the location to where the Netscape 6 plugins folder is located. Also make sure you have write privileges in the plugins folder for Netscape.

Keep in mind you're tryin to use a proprietary Apple Mac app, ported to Winblows, but tryin to run it on a Linux system. That said, go ahead and buy the Crossover plugin, the developers deserve the contribution. I've tried 3 ways of playin QT movies. o Codewavers (the Crossover people's) free rendition of wine. Works pretty well runnin QT5 from Win98. Sound really sux. BUT Codeweaver's wine is still probly the best wine effort to use other Winwoes apps. o Codeweaver's Crossover plugin. No nag screen, IME works better than the demo. Sound is good, a few intermittent drops with a sound chip that's not recomended for this use (AC97). Only problem is the shortcommings of Quicktime player itself. Works very well with Galeon, Mozilla, or Konqueror. I haven't bothered with Nutscrape in quite some time. o Xine. The latest xine-ui-0.9.12-1mdk, libxine0-0.9.12-1mdk plays QT movies better than QT5 runnin under Windoze or Crossover, ... video wise, I've yet to get the sound workin. OtOH, it's the solution I like, 'cause .mov's can be played multiply, full sreen from the CL. No need to to start the plugin or player for each separate movie as with the Winsux or Crossover players. I've got CD's of QT movies that play for many many hours ; http://xine.sourceforge.net/ (btw, they're seeking contributions also).

I would double check on where it is located, then run the Crossover setup program, and under the General tab, change the location to where the Netscape 6 plugins folder is located. Also make sure you have write privileges in the plugins folder for Netscape. HTH, Terry Thank you Terry and Tom for your help with this. I actually prefer using Konqueror or Mozilla to Netscape but was having problems with Konqueror which I since have fixed. I discovered that the Quicktime plugin and iPIX plugin that I am using with Crossover work just great in Konqueror. I will not bother with Netscape 6 at this point.

I have LM8.2 and supposedly the plugger from Netscape is installed but is not working for me either. Any suggestions? Keep in mind you're tryin to use a proprietary Apple Mac app, ported to Winblows, but tryin to run it on a Linux system. That said, go ahead and buy the Crossover plugin, the developers deserve the contribution. I've tried 3 ways of playin QT movies. o Codewavers (the Crossover people's) free rendition of wine. Works pretty well runnin QT5 from Win98. Sound really sux. BUT Codeweaver's wine is still probly the best wine effort to use other Winwoes apps. o Codeweaver's Crossover plugin. No nag screen, IME works better than the demo. Sound is good, a few intermittent drops with a sound chip that's not recomended for this use (AC97). Only problem is the shortcommings of Quicktime player itself. Works very well with Galeon, Mozilla, or Konqueror. I haven't bothered with Nutscrape in quite some time. o Xine. The latest xine-ui-0.9.12-1mdk, libxine0-0.9.12-1mdk plays QT movies better than QT5 runnin under Windoze or Crossover, ... video wise, I've yet to get the sound workin. OtOH, it's the solution I like, 'cause .mov's can be played multiply, full sreen from the CL. No need to to start the plugin or player for each separate movie as with the Winsux or Crossover players. I've got CD's of QT movies that play for many many hours ; http://xine.sourceforge.net/ (btw, they're seeking contributions also).

My Netscape bookmarks are in /home/myusername/.netscape/ and Konqueror has no problem importing it. It might also be that Konqueror expects to find a html file when importing bookmarks. Open the .ldif file with text editor and if it looks to be in text/html format, rename it to bookmarks.html and try importing it again. Konqueror uses XML-format in bookmark file and you can edit it with text editor. If your Netscape bookmark file isn't very large you could add the entries by hand from the ldif-file.

Is it worth the trouble? -- I'm developing a website and I'm just curious to see how it compares to the Netscape 4.xx that came with LM 8.0. I guess a big difference here is that my LM 8.1 also came with a recent version of Mozilla, which is basically equivalent, as far as I can see, to Netscape 6.2. I also set up Red Carpet, where the most recent releases of Mozilla keep appearing. After I began to notice that Mozilla and Netscape 6.2 were getting confused with each other, I got rid of Netscape and kept Mozilla, because I figured it would be easier to keep getting updates through Red Carpet. But to answer your original question, there is simply no comparison between Netscape 4.7 and 6.2. This has been especially true in my case, since I am working on the development of multilingual web-based XML Unicode dictionaries (see www.acmuller.net; if you want to dig into this deeply, you will need a password, so just write to me and I will give you one.). Netscape 6.2 (and of course, its Mozilla equivalent) handles UTF-8 and XML very well. Netscape 4.7 handles Unicode poorly, and does not recognize XML at all. Netscape 6.2 is easy to install, but as someone already suggested, it is better to locate and download the whole RPM file rather than try to use their installer app. Also, when Netscape 6.2 installs itself, it does not recognize itself as an upgrade of 4.7, and thus does not get rid of 4.7. I would therefore suggest that you uninstall 4.7 first. If you don't, when you set your HTML file associations to Netscape, it will continue to call 4.7 rather than 6.2.

Re: [newbie] netscape 6.2
Try /usr/local - that's where mine ended up. Installed so fast sounds suspicious though - normally a download instalation takes ages. As for browser wars - Netscape has two advantages - it's an integrated mail client and browser, and it's cross-platform (the latter being the main reason I use it - we only have one Linux box at work, so I'm often working from Windows). 6.2 is not perfect, but much less buggy than the appalling 6.0. AIM tends not to work, but that's because AOL tends not to work. Robin poweredbysun wrote: I downloaded Netscape 6.2 so I could use a full featured browser, that supports the latest plug-ins, etc. I followed the directions on the Netscape site and installed it from root from the command line because I did not see any way to install from the LM Software Manager or Program Manager. It seemed like it installed from root, but it installed so fast I can't see where it was installed. The Netscape site is not clear where the default directory is. It says to go to the directory it is installed in and run the program from the command line. Running LM Find Files and Gnome Search Tool under root do not seem to find the new netscape program. I see an install log, but nothing in it about Netscape 6.2 I can find. Questions: 1)how do I find where something installed to? 2)is there a way to install something like Netscape 6.2 under the LM Software Manager, so I can simply check it off and let LM8.1 do everything itself?

Re: [newbie] Netscape 6.1 java
Firstly, I _strongly_ suggest that you use Mozilla instead of Netscape 6.x. Netscape 6.1 is Mozilla 0.9 with some advertising courtesy of AOL (who own Netscape). Mozilla is currently at version 0.9.2, which is faster and less buggy than Netscape 6.x (and probably always will be). Installing Java requires root privileges. Run Netscape/Mozilla as root, install Java, close it, and reopen it as an ordinary user. This is probably the only time you should ever run Netscape/Mozilla as root (it is a security risk).

Re: [newbie] Netscape takes an eternity
1)Netscape in and of itself takes longer to open than one would normally expect from an application. I would guess it is in some part due to how bloated the program has become. I finally gave up on Netscape for this very reason and began using Opera, which opens almost instantly. 2)Some of the problem could also be due to whatever you have your home page set to. If it's a page that takes a long time to load in general (ie a portal site that dynamically constructs a page based on your user preferences, like "my.yahoo.com" or something), then this could slow Netscape from opening in a timely manner.

"Reload"? I have to do that everytime I implement changes. The other
problem may be that something in your Page code is not "marked" right.
Like a hrefwww.seethis.org or table border=0 cellspacing=3
tr
td
You get the idea. I had that problem alot as well (in the
beginning)grin

Re: [newbie] Netscape 6 -- Segmentation Fault
It shouldn't matter how you installed N6, I installed as root and it works
just fine for me as a user. Try deleting the .mozilla directory in your home
directory "rm ~/.mozilla", that might fix the problem.
1) Installation:
I reinstalled Netscape 6.01 as ROOT, instead of user. I finally found
the netscape directory. See below. I was able to activate Netscape 6 and
launch it. However, since the initial launch, all I've been getting are
segmentation faults. Besides, I would like to run Netscape 6 as user,
NOT as root. I did a chmod 755 netscape in the /usr/local/netscape
directory and changed the ownership under Permissions (using Konqueror)
to "sher". Still, I couldn't launch Netscape 6. Same segmentation error.
[sher@sher sher]$ cd /usr/local/netscape
[sher@sher netscape]$ ls

2) Plugins
However, I did manage briefly to see my plugins in Netscape 6 (by typing
about:plugins in the location bar). I saw ALL of my Netscape 4.76
plugins (which I had copied to /usr/local/netscape) EXCEPT for the
RealPlayer plugin.
Would appreciate any and all help.
Yours,
Benjamin
