definitely think Seamonkey should try hard not to crash.


  

I've upgraded seamonkey to 1.1.17 and I've placed libflashplayer.so
(10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64) in /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins.  Unfortunately,
seamonkey still crashes as soon as I go to http://www.wtopnews.com/

I just tried that website and it worked fine... If you open Seamonkey
and type "about:plugins" into the address bar, does it show "Shockwave
Flash" in the list? (Or anything noticeably strange included or
missing in the list.)

Hello:

I have relatively little:

application/x-shockwave-flash: Shockwave Flash (libflashplayer.so)
application/futuresplash : FutureSplash player (Shockwave Flash 
10.0 r32)

default plugin  : libnullplugin.so

In /usr/local/seamonkey/plugins/libflashplayer.so I have a symlink to 
/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so .


When I got libflashplayer it came in a tarball, 
libflashpllibflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar .  The tarball 
only had the one item (libflashplayer.so) so I used 
flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386.rpm to get the rest (homecleanup, 
LICENSE, README, and setup).  Sad to say, seamonkey still crashes (== 
terminates abruptly, no messages).


Thank you for helping,
Chip Campbell

I'm using 64-bit Seamonkey 1.1.17 and 64-bit Adobe Flash player
10.0.32.18 on Gentoo Linux with no problems. In fact it is completely
stable, unlike using 32-bit with nspluginwrapper which was always
having problems.

If you run Seamonkey from console, are there any errors printed when it crashes?

seamonkey terminates).  I normally start seamonkey via an icon, but when 
I started it from a gnome terminal, it still crashes, but no message.  
I'm a bit puzzled with Fedora Core 11 -- I can't login as root (although 
I can su to root easily enough).   BTW, the Firefox I tried was 3.5.2 .

dark-light color buttons

[Charles E. Campbell, Jr.]

Hello!

I like bright text on a dark background.  However, I'm constantly 
getting emails that specify the foreground color but don't specify the 
background color, yielding dark text on a dark background.  Or, some 
sites specify the background and don't specify the text foreground, thus 
yielding bright text on bright background.   Neither of these situations 
is exactly in the nice category.  Perhaps I just don't know how to do it 
-- but currently the only solution I know of to handle this problem is 
to rummage through edit:preferences:appearances:colors... and that takes 
awhile.


IMHO it'd be a real help if there was a three-state button: default 
(current) behavior, change text color to bright, change text color to 
dark (where the bright/dark colors would be selectable).


Hopefully this can be done already -- any clues on how to do it?  Would 
this be a Good Thing for seamonkey 2?

Chip Campbell

Hi,

3. Ubuntu 8.04 to wireless 8.04 w/usb attached Canon MP750.
  
But the printer is on a router printer : 




The test would be  nearer to my configuration by printing on the 
network. I should also test  by cups on the network with a live CD. I 
will also test with XP Home and with this netgear.



Not sure why... all of my networked connections go via a linkys BEFVP41.
And the wireless goes to both the BEFVP41 and a Netgear WGR614. I also
occasionally print to a Brother printer that is connected only via an
ethernet port (access both via wired and wireless routers).

Do any of your other applications print via your FWG114P?
  


In my situation, my printer is using cups:

Description: Epson WorkForce 600
Device URL: usb://EPSON/WorkForce%20600
Make and Model: Epson LITE, Photo Image Print...

I've provided a ppd file: eklite.ppd.

Printing test pages via gnome's "Printer Properties" display works.  
Printing a So far, the only printing

problem I had was via Seamonkey 2.0alpha on Fedora Core 9.

OK, just found another app with printing problems: evince.  So 
presumably something is wrong with my
set up; I have no idea what could be wrong nor how to find it.  It was 
hard enough just to find a combination

to get printing to work, period.

BTW, after a reboot, Seamonkey 2.0alpha finally went away and I had 
Seamonkey 1.1.14 back,
so apparently Seamonkey 2.0alpha was cached.  Is there a better way to 
clear the cache than

to reboot?

Hello!

I've got a problem I hope someone can help me with; I have a Fedora 
Core 9 system:


* I installed seamonkey v1.1.14 awhile back -- it worked fine

* I decided to try seamonkey 2.0 alpha 2 and installed it (I was 
hoping to avoid some of the trash on newsgroups, particular sci.astro)


  ** problem: doesn't print.  I have an Epson Workforce 600 and had a 
major problem getting it to work.  I finally got eklite.ppd 
installed, using usb, and with most applications, including with 
seamonkey v1.1.14, it works.  It doesn't work with 2.0 alpha.


 ** problem: I decided to remove 2.0 alpha.  I'd installed it in my 
user directory (v1.1.14 is in a system directory).  However, now when 
I try to bring up v1.1.14, I still get 2.0alpha.  I have no idea 
why.  So, I also removed /usr/local/seamonkey and re-installed 
v1.1.14.  I still get 2.0alpha., however, it doesn't work as well as 
it used to.  For an example, selecting Help:About Seamonkey  yields a 
blue page with the word "about:" by itself in the url entry.


I'd like to completely remove seamonkey 2.0alpha.  I'm willing to 
completely remove all of seamonkey, and re-install it.  How may I do 
this?  As Thunderbird is working, I didn't want to blindly start 
removing things that I guessed were seamonkey-related and end up 
damaging Thunderbird.  Unfortunately removing /usr/local/seamonkey 
wasn't adequate.


BTW, this email was done via Thunderbird.


The problem appears to have gone after a reboot -- presumably 2.0alpha 
was cached somewhere.
However -- has anyone else noticed the printing problem mentioned above 
about Seamonkey 2.0alpha?  Anybody got a Workforce 600?
