Hi Mark:
I believe you should be able to update the global prefs.js in something like
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/defaults/profile/prefs.js
Eg something like
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://google.com";)
Anything in firefox "about:config" should be able to be set like that globally.

Firefox 10 system wide preferences
I've never attempted to set system wide/global preferences for Firefox, but am now looking into how to do it. Google has not been very kind in shedding light on the subject as all of the solutions site different file locations and names. I'm just looking to set the default homepage for now. Is anyone successfully doing this? Has it changed from Firefox 3.0, 3.6, and the current packaged 10? A working example and file path would be much appreciated. Cheers, Mark -- Mr. Mark V.

Re: Ghostscript problem?
Hi, I/we have seen this in SL machines and it's "ImageMagick-6.2.8.0-12.el5" which has this problem and reverting back to "ImageMagick-6.2.8.0-4.el5_5.3" would solve the problem. It's just exactly as what http://artwork.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=36328&forum=37 has said. It also mentions the following : Here is the Resolution from the RedHat Knowledgebase: Resolution As a workaround, please revert back to ImageMagick-6.2.8.0-4.el5_5.3. A permanent solution is currently under investigation. == Kin On 03/28/2012 03:29 PM, Akemi Yagi wrote: On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 10:43 AM, Tom Rosmond wrote: Yesterday I did a routine update of my SL 5.5 system which included an ImageMagick upgrade.

If there isn't an upstream bug (I don't think there is), I'd go a touch further and try building it in mock and see if its really broken, or if its just a(nother) build environment issue. I've found a few places where this was the case so far.

Happened to us too. Poking around online, one gets similar errors if some of the supporting files in the ghostscript builds aren't installed correctly, so I strongly suspect a simple build or specfile problem. However, I didn't have time to debug it and went with the downgrade workaround to save time (remember to put ghostscript in your "excludes" list lest autoyum upgrade your downgrade!). The proper thing to do would be to check TUV's bugzilla, and if there's not already a bug report about it, to file one. -- Alec Habig, University of Minnesota Duluth Physics Dept. ha...@neutrino.d.umn.edu http://neutrino.d.umn.edu/~habig/
Ghostscript problem?
Yesterday I did a routine update of my SL 5.5 system which included an ImageMagick upgrade. I then found that when doing 'convert's' from postscript to other formats, e.g. convert xxx.ps xxx.png , the process failed with this diagnostic output: -- [2073]cedar /home/rosmond/gnuplot: convert xxx.ps xxx.png Error: /undefinedfilename in (72x72) Operand stack: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push Dictionary stack: --dict:1154/1684(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:70/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 GPL Ghostscript 8.70: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 Error: /undefinedfilename in (72x72) Operand stack: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push Dictionary stack: --dict:1154/1684(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:70/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 GPL Ghostscript 8.70: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 convert: no decode delegate for this image format `xxx.ps'. convert: Postscript delegate failed `xxx.ps'. convert: missing an image filename `xxx.png'. --- I did 'yum downgrades' of ImageMagick.i386 and ImageMagick.x86_64, and this corrected the problem.

Re: problem with libvpx dependency
Hi there, you need rpmforge and GPG key. Here is the rpmforge: *For 64bits: http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm * For 32 bits * http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm * then import GPG key, run this command in terminal: * rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt * Or you can go directly to the source and download it: http://apt.sw.be Thanks Tam 2012/3/28 MT Julianto > > 2012/3/28 Łukasz Posadowski > >> >> 2012-03-28,14:00 +0200, MT Julianto: >> > $ sudo yum install vlc >> > Error: Package: libavcodec53-0.10.2-54.el6.x86_64 (atrpms) >> >Requires: libvpx.so.1()(64bit) >> >> Do you have /usr/lib/libvpkx.so.1 file?

problem with libvpx dependency

How to resolve the problem? Thanks! -Tito.
