install SeaMonkey

[Barbara Norvell]

The last time if upgraded to SeaMonkey (2.03)  I did it over top the 
previous SeaMonkey.  Could this be the reason that I am having so many 
crashes.

You installed it right over the previous version, in the same folder? 
Then yes, it's likely the source of your problems.

If you installed it over 2.0, 2.0.1, or 2.0.2, there should be no
problem.  If you installed it over a 1.X version, that might be the
problem.

Where should 2.03 be installed?  Right now my SM 1.18 is in C> Program

Do I install it under Mozilla.org or create another folder?

IF you install a full install of an application over top of an older 
version of the same application. is a sure method for a corrupt install.


They proper method for downloading a complete install and installing, is 
to move the old version to trash (but do not empty Trash) then install 
the new.


What that does is write the new to a different section of the hard Drive 
(as if your installing for first time.)


The install from the update withing the application s get new version is 
different is that it only replaces that code that adds the new features.


Copying over writes the whole entire file over top the whole entire 
file. If there is defective code it just writes over it, and there is a 
possibility of corrupting the new install.

I created a separate folder named SeaMonkey2.  I don't like putting
everything in Program Files.  Both SeaMonkey and SeaMonkey2 were
directly under C:
C:\SeaMonkey
C:\SeaMonkey2

I was able to keep SeaMonkey 1.1.18 for a while after installing
SeaMonkey 2.0.  That way, I could test whether something "strange" was a
bug or merely a change.  When I finally had enough confidence in
SeaMonkey 2.0, I removed SeaMonkey 1.1.18 and deleted its folder.

On my PC with Windows XP, I generally install right over the old version
unless the installation instructions specifically say otherwise.  For
SeaMonkey and Thunderbird updates from .mar files, that is the only way
to do it since the .mar files update only portions of the old version
and do not contain complete new versions.

If the installation instructions specifically say to delete the old
version before installing a new version, I don't just delete old
version.  Instead, I remove (de-install) it.  That cleans up the Windows
registry (at least partially).

Install it anywhere you like - you can even use the default provided
by the installation. Just don't install it in the same directory as
SeaMonkey 1.X

The default install location for SM 2.s is C:\Program Files\Seamonkey
This is different from the default for SM 1.x, which is where you have
yours (notice that the new one does not include "mozilla.org" as part of
the path)

So, just by allowing it to install in the default location, you should
be fine.

How to install Seamonkey

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

I am a Debian user, and I have been using iceape for a number of years, 
which has been provided within the Debian repositories, as a .deb 
package, for installation and updating, using the Debian package 
managers.


I have a computer, upon which, I have installed Debian 7.5 Linux, 
with the LXDE desktop, and I want to run Seamonkey or iceape, on that 
conputer.


The Debian project ceased provision of iceape, with Debian 7, and now, 
to get the suite, a user has to revert to installing and using 
Seamonkey.


In my trying to find how to install Seamonkey, I found the web page at
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/install-and-uninstall
and I followed the instructions for Linux.

However, in trying to run Seamonkey, using ./seamonkey, as directed, I 
get "No such file or directory".


How do I get Seamonkey to work, and, how do I get Seamonkey into the 
LXDE applications menu, so that it can be rubn from the applications 
menu?

Cannot Install Seamonkey 2.0?

[Steven Hilgendorf]

Hello,

Trying to install Seamonkey 2.0 on Windows Visa Premium.  When I 
double-click on the install file it unpacks and throws up a Run As 
dialog indicating "You my not have the necessary permissions to use all 
the features of the program you are about to run. You may run this 
program as a different user or continue to run the program as the 
current user."


If I check the "Current user" box and click OK nothing happens, 
installation stops/ends.  If I check the "Run the program as the 
following user: [Administrator logon]" box and click OK I get logon failure.


The only account set up on this system is the one I'm using, which has 
full administrator rights, and I don't have any trouble installing other 
software, including earlier Seamonkey iterations.


Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Steven

Bret, (from WA, I think we've communicated before, on UseNet or 
otherwise! *not that that matters)


I use SeaMonkey on MandriveLinux (but moving to Mageia, soon, I hope!!) 
with the KDE desktop, and use a desktop Icon rather than the application 
menu.


When I install a new version, I copy the downloaded .bz2 file into 
/home/daniel/Internet/SeaMonkey/Betas and then, when I run (i.e. 
de-compact) the .bz2 file, it gets installed into 
/home/daniel/Internet/SeaMonkey/Betas/seamonkey.


Then I create a desktop icon which has, in its "Command:" location
/home/daniel/Internet/SeaMonkey/Betas/seamonkey/seamonkey-bin

If you make appropriate changes for your installation location, your 
desktop icon might start it up.


By-the-By, I actually dual boot with Win7 and have my SeaMonkey Profile 
on my E:\ drive so both Win7 and Linux installations can use the one 
profile.

Try cancelling, right-clicking on the installer package and choosing

Vista admin rights are kinda funny. Even in a so-called

Failure to install SeaMonkey 2.0

[CarolinaBill]

I have been using Seamonkey 1.1.17 on three home computers.  Yesterday
I tried to install Seamonkey 2.0 on a lap top and a desktop computer.
In each case the installation proceeded without incident to the Finish
screen.  With Launch program checked, I expected SeaMonkey to open,
but nothing happened.  I clicked on the desktop icon.  I went to
Program Files and clicked on seamonkey.exe.  Still nothing.  In both
of these instances I installed over the top of my old version of
Seamonkey which I have done in the past.  In case there was a problem
with that, I uninstalled my old Seamonkey program as well as Seamonkey
2.0 and tried to install.  Same result.  I wound up uninstlling
Seamonkey 2.0 from all computers and returned to my old 1.1.17
version.  I am using Windows XP Pro in each computer, and the only
variation I can think of is that I have my profiles in a non-standard
location on a different hard drive.  However, I would think that if
SeaMonkey could not find my old profile, it would at least provide me
with a default new one.  Suggestions ?

Re: Failure to install SeaMonkey 2.0

[Stephanie :]

I am having a similar problem. Last night I installed Seamonkey 2.0
over top of 1.1.18. The installation went well and at the end it
opened 2.0 and I used it for a while.

This morning I booted up my computer and opened Seamonkey only to find
that it is still 1.1.18!  Add/Remove programs shows 2.0 installed.
Searching the hard drive shows 2 installations: Program Files/
Seamonkey and Program Files/mozilla.org/Seamonkey, however the
Seamonkey.exe file in both of these only opens 1.1.18.

Is 2.0 a new kind of vaporware? ;-)

It is all very well to learn about migrating profiles if SeaMonkey is
open, but I can't get it to even open or to display the migration
wizard.  I tried again today to install disabling all my firewalls
(Comodo) and the Resident Shield on my AVG8 anti-virus program.  No
change. Again the installation proceeded through to the finish stage.
Then if I clicked on a desktop icon or on SeaMonkey.exe in Program
Files, I have a momentary hour-glass appear by the cursor arrow, then
disappear leaving a screen that does not show any activity at all.

I suspect your SM1.1.18 has already been running at that time (maybe
you're using the Quickstarter?), they can't run together at the same
time without additional effort.
So make sure SM1.1.x is _not_ running, the Quickstarter next to your
clock is closed (no seamonkey.exe in the process list in the
taskmanager), then start your SM2. (you can verify that you're starting
the correct seamonkey.exe by right-clicking, selecting properties and
navigating to the "version" tab. Open "Product version" below in the
list and it should say 2.0)

Thanks. I think I did forget to exit the Quickstarter.

However I realized how much I depend on the tab session manager in the
Multizilla add-on and I would lose all my currently saved sessions (I
do a lot of research) so I think I will hold off on the upgrade until
Multizilla has a SM2 compatible version out.

Re: Failure to install SeaMonkey 2.0

[James]

You can only have one copy running at a time.  In cases like yours 
there's typically something running that is identified as Seamonkey 
1.1.18.  The usual culprit is Seamonkey 1.1.18 quick launch.  Disable 
that and reboot.


Then if it still doesn't work look in Task Manager to see if anything 
Seamonkey is running.  If so shut it down; you may need to reboot.


If it still doesn't work try booting into safe mode and launch 2.0.

Luck,
James

I wouldn't count on MultiZilla ever releasing a version for SM 2.0...

I suggest you create groupmarks for all your sessions, install SM 2.0 
(which will pick up your bookmarks and thus groupmarks), install the 
Session Manager extension (see below) and set up sessions for your 
groupmarks.

Interesting solution, thx. But a real pain for hundreds of saved
sessions, or is there a way to o that automatically?
I'm struggling with the same "problem" on one machine with way more than
80 saved sessions from the old tabbrowser extensions.

A doubt to install Seamonkey in Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

[jb.alab...@gmail.com]

Dear Sirs/Madams,
   I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. I am not a very skilled user,
so almost always I use GUI, not terminal. But in the software installator
in Ubuntu there is not the Seamonkey, and also not with Synaptic. So, after
seeing this: https://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/2.0/install-and-uninstall My
main doubt is what are GNOME Main Menu button and Panel menu? I imagine
that the Panel menu is what is shown on the screen capture which I attach,
but the GNOME Main Menu button...?

A doubt to install Seamonkey in Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

[jb.alab...@gmail.com]

Dear Walt or Dirk or...,
   my question is where are program files located? I ask you to place the
downloaded Seamonkey files in the right folder. Looking other program as
example, I haven't seen all their files in the folder usr/share/ in every
corresponding program (sub)folder.
   Creating a launcher seems easy with this link sent by you (thank you
very much).

You can't expect extracting an archive into /opt to add an application
menu item because those are in /usr/share/applications (or under the
user's home directory). A package installation should include steps
equivalent to those in the linked instructions.

For the sort of user who expects to find an application menu item, it's
yet another good reason for installing from a package rather than an
archive.

Looks like you may have installed the 32-bit SeaMonkey on a 64-bit OS.

Try the 64-bit build from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/#contrib

Hello.

I have since remembered, that, some time ago, I had been referred to,
and, had downloaded and installed, on another system, a Seamonkey 2.29
.deb package, created for Ubuntu, so, I found and installed that, and
it seems to work.

Thank you, anyway.

Re: Problem in trying to install Seamonkey 2.33 on Ubuntu 12.04

[Gordon Weast]

I ran into the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04, but there isn't even an 
error message.  With the 32 bit version of Seamonkey, when I try to 
execute it, there is no error message, it just doesn't run.


The file command reports that it is a 32 bit dynamically loaded executable.
The ldd command reports that it isn't dynamically loaded instead of the 
list of .so files it uses.


I suspect that there are a bunch of packages that install the 32 bit 
runtime, but I haven't dug around to figure out which packages.  The CPU 
can handle either 32 or 64 on a 64 bit version of the OS trivially, but 
the .so files have to be installed.  It seems Ubuntu isn't installing 
them by default.


At least there is a 64 bit version of Seamonkey available on the 
Seamonkey site.  You don't need a .deb package.

Re:Trying to install SeaMonkey on a "back to factory settings" desktop.

[Carol]

  
  
Hi,
  
  My REALLY old HP desktop was wiped out... i called on a Microsoft
  Certified Engineer to get it back, but in the main everything
  failed.  However, as i am a MBCS CITP MISM, i thought that i
  should give it a go... and yes... it worked!  However, i cannot
  find a version of SeaMonkey, which is on all of my other network
  devices, that will work.  The MCE installed 2.53, despite that i
  said that the last to work was 2.49.?
  
  Your website information says to install 2.48 manually over my
  existing installation, but i cannot do this as it will not install
  (using Custom Settings or Standard), without closing the existing
  version of SeaMonkey... so no manual options available.
  
  Can you please advise me on the version i should try, that will
  work?
  
  Very Kind Regards,
  Carol McLean. MBCS CITP MISM.

2.0 is for the 2.0.x releases. Not really current :)

I briefly tested 2.49.5 in an 18.04 vm. It worked but I needed to set it up 
manually to show up. Not abinary newsgroup so no screen capture. Link to imgur

Surely the Ubuntuzilla PPA

would be the easiest way for Jordi to install SeaMonkey? It's not

Or as this is a how-to-do-X-on-Linux question, obligatory distro-change

I agree that this is the easiest way of getting Seamonkey installed on 
an Ubuntu installation.


I'm enthusiastic about doing installations via APT (over the typical 
Windows methodology of manual download and running the installer, or 
building from source code), because it's a quick thing to get updates 
quickly after they're released.  With Seamonkey and Ubuntuzilla, I found 
that I had the 2.49.5 release installed on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine 
before I got around to applying on either Windows or Mac.  Because 
Ubuntuzilla is listed in my APT configs, the update was processed as a 
part of daily checks for new software.


The one small complication to doing PPAs is in getting a repository 
added to your configs.  It's easy enough to add an additional line for 
Ubuntuzilla (and it's often faster to do from command line than GUI), 
although I sometimes trip up in getting the signing keys done correctly. 
 In any case, the instructions shown at the link above are more than 
sufficient.

Yes, it's too complicated for me, although I was used to work with MS DOS
line commands.

GNOME Main Menu button...?

Screen captures attached to these messages don't get displayed. It is 
best to host them on a site like  and post a link to

I don't think a SeaMonkey launcher can be added to the Main Menu. None 
was when I installed SeaMonkey. I created a desktop launcher using these 
instructions.

You can add the Ubuntuzilla repository source and install SM with only 
GUI commands, but fetching the repository authentication key needs the 
command line.


Start Synaptic Package Manager. Then add the Ubuntuzilla repo 
(Settings>Repositories>New):


"Binary

URI: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt/
Distribution: all
Section(s): main"

And OK (the prompts might be different with a Catalan or other language 
version). Exit Synaptic without reloading the repositories.


Now you have to provide the security key. There isn't a simple GUI to do 
this. So you can't avoid a terminal command: just paste the text from 
the Ubuntuzilla instructions into a terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T should 
open one):


sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2667CA5C

You'll be prompted for your password by sudo, as when you start Synaptic.

Now launch Synaptic again and invoke Edit>Reload Package Information. 
Afterwards your SM package will be listed in Synaptic as 
"seamonkey-mozilla-build", ready for you to install.



PS GUI key tools

The web might suggest that you install the package gui-apt-key which is 
supposed to do what "apt-key adv --recv-keys" does. However it has a 
hard-coded key server that is either obsolete or unreliable (edit the 
value in /usr/share/gui-apt-key/GAK/Backend.pm line 31 to specify 
'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com' instead). If that worked you would start 
"APT Key Manager", paste 2667CA5C into the Key ID field and press +Add.


The only other well known GUI tool is Y PPA Manager, but it's not in the 
default Ubuntu repositories and would require you to install the key for 
its PPA ...

You can't expect extracting an archive into /opt to add an application 
menu item because those are in /usr/share/applications (or under the 
user's home directory). A package installation should include steps 
equivalent to those in the linked instructions.


For the sort of user who expects to find an application menu item, it's 
yet another good reason for installing from a package rather than an 
archive.

   thank you very much, but I've just tried with Synaptic, and it seemed a
loop (some screeen captures attached). At the menu *Paràmetres* (it's in
Catalan), there is the option *Dipòsits* (that should be Repositories, but
this term is also called *Repositoris*, in Catalan); but I couldn't do a
screen capture of it. Afterwards it opens another package manager, where I
just cannot write "Seamonkey".

>...

In your Synaptic (maybe 0.81?), there's no menu item "Repositories>New". 
Instead you have to click "Add..." (Afegeix) and type in a line like 
this (no line break, no quotes, space before "all"):


"deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt/ 
all main"


Once that line is in the sources list, "Edit" brings up a dialogue like 
that for "Repositories>New", but obviously it should now be filled in. I 
think other procedures are the same.
