Is any way to upgrade/patch the version which comes with Mandrake 9.2? Thanks Galeon is bound to mozilla. So whatever plugins work with mozilla will work with Galeon. To get flash working with mozilla, just install the flash-plugin for linux. There is a flash-plugin RPM available from Mandrake Club, or if you search macromedias site long enough you will find a download for it. Just make sure the libflashplugin.so file ends up in your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] galeon search
Well, I just upgraded my system from 8.2 to 9.0. In 8.2 typing a word without a suffix in the galeon address bar took me to [thatword].com. This is the behavior that I would prefer. There does not seem to be a place to specify which behavior I would like. Secondly, the current search page it sends me to (ultimatesearch) is not acceptable. It does not even do the search for you, it just leaves you on the index page. This is a bug which needs to be fixed. - Paul On Fri, 2002-11-08 at 14:01, Technoslick wrote: I did this in Galeon: cnn ENTER I got: keyword:cnn in Google, with the search results in the browser's window.

Re: [newbie] Galeon * Mozilla
Galeon is basically a GUI for Mozilla, with some features added. It is directly linked to mozilla, and cannot run without it. They are not interdependant, Galeon needs Mozilla, Mozilla does not require anything from Galeon. You cannot upgrade one without the other. That's actually the reason I dropped Galeon altogether..too much fuss each time there was a new release. You will have to uninstall Galeon, upgrade Mozilla and then install the new Galeon..

I mean : how much are they inter-dependant ? Not very much. In fact, Mozilla doesn't need Galeon at all. Galeon is only one of many browsers that embed Gecko as a rendering engine. It uses GTK+ to do the embedding. Chris Blizzard (a Red hat developer employed to work on Mozilla) is currently working on porting it to GTK2. I have seen him post on the galeon-devel mailing list, so there is some co-operation and communication between the Mozilla and Galeon projects. How to upgrade one without breaking the other ? Galeon builds are written for a particular version of Mozilla, usually the most recent Mozilla release available at the time. You really should use the Mozilla version that is recommended for your version of Galeon.

Re: [newbie] Galeon
No problem To get java and plugins to work in Galeon, you must first make them work in Mozilla !! First I assume you have Java installed, and you have removed kaffe if it was installed. Locate your java installation and make a symlink like this :- ln -s /usr/share/java/jre1.3.1_02/plugin/i386/ns600/libvavaplugin_oji.s0 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so (Your paths may be different so check them first) Java should now work in Mozilla and in Galeon If you want to run standalone Java applications you should also make this symlink :- ln -s /usr/share/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin/java /usr/bin/java For Flash copy the plugin and the classpath file to the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ directory and then Flash will work in Mozilla and Galeon.

I am trying to install Galeon 1.0.1 but I get this message error: failed dependencies: mozilla = 0.9.6 is needed by galeon-1.0.1-1mdk. The problem is that I have already installed mozilla 0.9.6. I had this problem once. In kpackage I could see that mysteriously, moz 0.96 had been installed without overwriting 0.94, so there were now effectively TWO mozillas onboard and when I tried to install galeon, it only saw the first, earlier, one. This is not supposed to be possible unless you ask for it explicitly, but it happened anyway (there were two Galeons too - it was really messy in there). The answer in my case was to do, logged in as root, this command in a terminal: rpm -e mozilla TWICE. In fact, keep doing it until you get an error message saying that mozilla is not installed. After that, a rpm --rebuilddb is probably a good thing. Now you can install Mozilla (try this: rpm -Uvh /var/cache/grpmi/mozilla[TAB]- if there still is a copy of mozilla in the cache, and there should be, it will pick it up) cleanly and then install galeon on top of it.

You can mitigate MS's vulnerabilities, in the same way you can mitigate Linux's vulnerabilities - patches and config changes. Consider a default Redhat install; what's the first advice given? Turn off all unnecssary services [config changes], and don't run the version of wu-ftpd that comes with RH, since it has holes [patch it first]. Same advice they give for IIS - altho most fail to follow it, or don't know it. And the default setups for most Windoes OSes are pathetic - hide extensions, auto-execute VBScript, etc. The absolute FIRST thing you do is fix MS's bonehead default settings. It's kind of like the millions of idiots who click on unknown binary attachments that come unexpectedly in the email. No matter how many times you tell them not to - hell, here in Philly, the news stories on the *radio* said that; you don't even need to be technically competent to know what not to do, the frickin' mass media will tell you what not to do - they do it anyway. Note that mitigate does *not* mean remove, for either OS.

I'm merely pointing out that your blanket dismissal is not completely correct, that's all. Accessing the Net with any M$ OS and/or software is akin to doing the same with Linux, running as root, with no firewall or sentry, and permissions set to 'welcome to crackers'. Proof is in the puddin, as M$ clients and servers are compromised on a daily basis ... whether mitigated or not. And Linux boxes can be compromised, too - see Li0n and Ramen, amongst others. I will grant you that it's easier with certain MS OSes - the Win9x/WnMe series, because using them is equivalent to going online as root. No disagreement there. That is not the case with the NT based line (NT/2K/XP). And a properly secured and patched OS (whether MS or Linux/Unix) is essential. As I said, I personally consider even patched Windows to be less secure than patched Linux/Unix, but not nearly the gossamer shell that you make Windows out to be.

They are about as cose to virus's as linux can get rigth now, I am surprised that its not more well known.. Well Google will provide much more info, but I believe their are some. The ones I've seen were worm specific tho. Example is last year when some (like ~10) Red Hat 6.x servers were infected with the 'li0n' worm. Out of curiosity, I d/l'd the script an took a look at it, even ran it. It was basically, IIRC, just a system search for a few specific files, and if found it prompted you to remove 'em. there is a market there for them if someone was to release one.,. they could probably use their existing scan engine with a special pattern file update for them.. Frank If there isn't an all purpose generic rootkit/worm/trojan app, I suspect it's for lack of demand/need. In the case of li0n, there was a security update from Red Hat six months before the worm appeared. So only sloppily administered systems were vulnerable. Which is almost always the case with Linux and open source, as possible exploits are discovered and fixed before any exploit exists. If systems are compromised, it's the users fault. Much the same as the introduction of closed source, binary only drivers and software into a Linux system is the users responsibility/risk/fault. M$ OTOH, goes to great lengths to try and hide/censor any vulnerability info for their OS's and software, and fixes rarely appear till after the vulnerability has already been exploited. Somethings are very slow, to never fixed. M$ just call's those items 'issues'. So users are SOL, and only at fault if they're not aware that M$ products can't be secured, but naively think they are or can be. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/22614.html -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay, USA Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

But I digress, as M$ win3.x thru winXP security sloppiness is off topic for this list. What's pertinent is that using a real OS like Linux, you should never ever connect to the Net as root. Specially to d/l and install binaries, which was advocated in the beginning of this thread, and what I responded to. Even with a Un*x OS, if it's not properly maintained and secured, root priviges can be usurped. (Google 'rootkit'). Specially when d/l'ing files or even just email. You could download the file, and then su to a root shell, and install that way - presuming that you knew where and how to copy the files.

Mine is stable as a rockweird Well...I finally got it running, but it sure is buggy. It crashes if you attempt to access the preferences, or import bookmarks. It's quite unstable as yet. -- Anthony http://binaryfusion.net Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.

Re: [newbie] Galeon web browser
libgtkembedmoz.so should be in your mozilla directory. Check and see if it's in there. And you did the export part right? I've followed the instructions, and i get, after execution, the following error message: /usr/bin/galeon-bin: error in loading shared libraries:nbsp; libgtkembedmoz.so cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory don't have that library in the system -- Anthony http://binaryfusion.net Computers are not intelligent.

Hi On Thu, 27 Jul 2000, you wrote: Has anyone successfully installed the Galeon web browser? Yup! How did they do it? What did they install? I downloaded mozilla-devel-5.0_M16-2.i386.rpm and mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz from http://www.mozilla.org After installing etc it worked fine. What is it like? It does exactly what it says on the tine, The Web and only the Web. Small, fast and basic. I use it to do a quick view of a site. Anything more complex and I roll out Netscape. -- ODave Naylor [ Y@C 07092-033913 ] | [[EMAIL PROTECTED] ] |---| ICQ 16742766 [ SMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] | ]

Anthony escribi: > Has anyone successfully installed the Galeon web browser? Yes, me. > How did they do it? What did they install? I installed it via RPM. You can get that here: http://download.sourceforge.net/galeon/galeon-0.7.1-1.i386.rpm You must also have Mozilla working on your system to use Galeon, so if you don't have that, you can download it from http://mozilla.org . Once you have mozilla up and running, you have to do some exporting. Type "export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/the/path/to/where_you_put/mozilla". And then type "galeon" and it should come up.

Regards, Ian McLeod I haven't tried it, but I did a search on freshmeat to see what you were talking about and I see that it's based on mozilla's gecko engine and gnome. I'm currently playing with mozilla (netscape for everyday stuff though) and I think it has potential. I would say try it (Galeon) out and give a report to the list - it's always good to get a review... Mike

Very very nice actually. It's simplistic, but that's what makes it so good. It does one thing, browsing, and from what I've seen it does it well. The bookmark system is a million times better than Netscape or Mozilla (It's set up sorta like IE's is set up), and it's nice and fast. Definitly woth trying out.
