Workaround for Karmic:
sudo apt-get install gears
sudo nano /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/extensions/{000a9d1c-beef-
4f90-9363-039d445309b8}/install.rdf
In this file, change 0.5.32 to 0.5.33
This will make firefox think you already have the 0.5.33 installed and
thus not try to upgrade to it (failing every time)
Since Google doesn't support gears any longer there will probably not be
any new updates anyway.
From http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/01/fix-google-gears-for-firefox-on-linux/
adapted for Karmic.
This is IMO the only way to have gears in Linux, since gears in Chrome
for Linux never will be available.

Please contact the author of this item about the problem. Read the bug thread and see that Google Code has a hacked Gears package.

[Bug 480596] Re: Incompatible extension 'Google Gears' in Firefox 3.5
I'm pretty sure I've been seeing the same problem for several weeks now, but only on one machine. It's a Sharp running the Jackalope version of Ubuntu, and is reported almost every boot, and sometimes twice, when it apparently tries to upgrade the extension version. The error message says to report it to the creator of the extension, which is Google, but I haven't figured out how to do so, and the Google search sent me over here... Seems a bit of a circle jerk, eh? Not sure if it's related, but I do have Japanese capability installed in the system, including the ANTHY input system for Japanese and the Japanese language extensions for Firefox. I should check Firefox's language preferences on that particular machine, but I usually specify American English, generic English, and then Japanese in the third slot. -- Incompatible extension 'Google Gears' in Firefox 3.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 480596] Re: Incompatible extension 'Google Gears' in Firefox 3.5
Struck this problem with 32-bit Karmic Koala today. Reinstalled Gears 05.32.0 code from Google. It reloaded its cache on my machine and carried on. Had the same issue with the 64-bit Karmic Koala only a two days ago. The reinstall did not help. Did a search and came up with Niel Speen's patch at nielspeen.com/blog/2009/02/google-gears-64-bit. With nothing to lose, I installed his version (which appears in the add-ons as 05.33.0) and it appears to be working just fine. Using Gears with Linux has always been bumpy. I hope that this kind of messing about and uncertainty is going to be eliminated in the future. Gears is an useful bit of kit for the kind of work that I do. -- Incompatible extension 'Google Gears' in Firefox 3.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
