Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] firefox 31.2.0esr broken?

2014-11-18 Thread Jerry Kemp 

Fred,

That has been my experience.

I am running OpenIndiana 151a7.

I have been stuck with Firefox 25.x for some time.

I can't say that I have diligently tested every release, but, at a minimum, I 
have had the broken download issue since Firefox 26+ .

There's no problem with firefox or thunderbird_31.2.0 on oi_151a9
(this mail is written on TB 31.2.0 downloaded with FF 31.2.0...).
As usual, it seems to be a problem of the pkg version. Install
the tarball in /usr/local/ and point /usr/bin/{firefox,thunderbird}
to that binary. Never install something onto an existing package
directory. This problem reappears every couple of weeks here.

that time.

What's weird is that some file types save properly. tar.bz2 and .jpg save okay. 
For PDF files viewed in Firefox, press the download icon in the PDF reader and 
then the Firefox download manager arrow and it will show the download failed. 
Click the reload icon at the right and the download completes successfully.

For other file types it's a bit of a nuisance to get the downloaded file where 
you want and with the filename you saved it as. First try reloading from the 
download manager. If it fails, navigate to Places > /tmp and you will see the 
icon for the type of file with a name of 8 random characters, the extension, 
followed by .part, e.g., cyvCt4bK.gz.part. Click on the icon and Cut or Copy. 
Then go to where you attempted to download the file and Paste. The icon for the 
file you originally downloaded will be present with filename you saved it as. 
Click on it and it will show that the file has 0 bytes. Press F2, Ctrl + A, 
Ctrl + C (copies the whole filename), delete the file, then click on the file 
you pasted (cyvCt4bK.gz.part), press F2, Ctrl + A, Ctrl + V and you have the 
downloaded file with the filename you originally saved it as.

Hi Udo, take care not to top-post, but hit reply or reply to list button 
to stay in thread.


Btw, 2009.06 was snv_111b and last Opensolaris was snv_134 that is still 
hosted in Openindiana /legacy
and enables updating to Openindiana. I did it with success through all 
those versions several times, although small changes are needed on GRUB 
but menu at the end of the Boot line, and then updating inside 
Openindiana. Last OI that supports Solaris-compatible ZFS version by 
default upon install from DVD/USB is Openindiana 151a3 so I usually 
update entire to 151a7 and then further to a8 and a9 and Hipster 
earlier, while it was still possible to update.



Solaris, not Opensolaris anymore (why should they?).
Because Opensolaris installs are still supported and that it works on 
Openindiana.
Because same binaries work on wide variety of Opensolaris-descendent 
OS-es etc.

it is the most stupid compiler I have ever used!

No question about that...

Yet code it generates was usually faster.

For flash, they even don't care about compatibility,
flash support was officially removed already in 11.1:

It is not the point actually,
because Adobe Flash problem arised inside Openindiana 151a8 , because 
Flash started behaving like that after 151a7->151a8 update, with same 
Firefox version/binaries.
So you couldn't say that actually, because I still use 
Oracle-contributed binaries in Openindiana and they work just fine, usually.

... Look I am using the browser on OpenSolaris where they say they compile it
and yet the flash plugin crashes! Forget what happens in OpenIndiana etc.

if it does nor work properly under OpeSolaris, then it is broken! Is it so 
difficult
to understand this?



It makes no sense, the Oracle firefox distributions are compiled
to work on THEIR modern Solaris 11.x versions, not the old 129a
Osol 2009.06. They compile with Studio 12.3, not Studio 12.1.
You would have to have exceptional luck if that still works on
an old Osol distribution.

Something unkown is indeed broken between a7 and a9, ask
Martin Boching, he pretends to know the reason, but never
will tell us, maybe he helps you out. I do not believe that
there is a real error, as Martin wrote in another blog, he
now does not count that as an error, but a binary incompatiblity.
I can't say anything about that as I don't really know the nature

I have no idea! I have tested on a machine where the OS was installed clean
and where there was no previous .mozilla folder and yet it crashes all the time.
On OpenSolaris the previous version worked like charm and now it crashes!
Do you think that I am imagining these things? Perhaps it is not working 
correctly with the Greek UTF-8 locale. But this has nothing to do with libraries
and other staff.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] firefox 31.2.0esr broken?

2014-10-15 Thread Marion Hakanson 
Thanks for the feedback.

I do have an oi151a9 machine at home, 32-bit.  And FF 31.2.0esr does seem
to work OK on there, without the failures at downloading files.  This is
true for the pkgadd version, by the way (same file I installed on my oi151a7
system with the problem).

I've attempted your flash trick on my oi151a9 system, but it doesn't
work for me.  The flash plugin continues crashing even after first
visiting the .../flash/about page.  Plugin version 11.2.202.223.

Thanks and regards,

Marion

There's no problem with firefox or thunderbird_31.2.0 on oi_151a9
(this mail is written on TB 31.2.0 downloaded with FF 31.2.0...).
As usual, it seems to be a problem of the pkg version. Install
the tarball in /usr/local/ and point /usr/bin/{firefox,thunderbird}
to that binary. Never install something onto an existing package
directory. This problem reappears every couple of weeks here.

There's an additional trick to make this permanent:
After going to that page, right click on the page's tab
and "pin" it, then leave firefox. After restart, the tab
permanently stays there, and you never have to go to that
page again manually (only after a real flash crash, which
is much more seldom than with previous flash versions).
Be sure to have the last flash version for Osol, that is
11_2_202_223 .

I used Firefox 31.1.1 ESR till now (ad 28 ESR before) and it worked for me.
Haven't tried 31.2 yet, but will.


The system in question is running OpenIndiana oi151a7 (because it can
still play flash videos), 64-bit.

151a7 is still best OI release ever.
151a8 broke playing flash amongst other things and so on.
It is said OpenSXCE developer Martin Bochnig (mar...@martux.org) foud 
solution for Flash in it's latest distro release, but was unwilling to 
describe solution nor release the source, without money compensation
and someone _stupidly_ removed Martin's acces to this OI mailing 
list(s), without asking anyone but one pan asking him to, due to 
political reasons, so we are all at loss here.


Flash could be used if first you go to:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/  and then flash would 
temporarily work in a browser.



This version of firefox does not allow me to save downloaded files.  The

and the Download window just shows "Failed" for the item.
You can try reporting bug to Ginn Chen (ginn.c...@oracle.com), that as I 
know is contributing Mozilla products builds, including Lightning calendar.

You can also try to ask for releasing source patches used.
Contributed builds used to require newest OracleStudio, that required 
paying support to get newest updates for compiler.
I am not sure but talked about moving to GCC for C++ issues, so you 
might  see it GCC is used now.


Not having /dev updates does not help the issue,
because it is hard (yet not impossible) to contribute external packages 
to moving target as Hipster,

it is much easier with /dev that is not moving in between releases.


I found via "truss" of the firefox process that it's logging some error
messages in my ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/downloads.json file:

[OpenIndiana-discuss] firefox 31.2.0esr broken?
