Thus removing this file using rm perhaps will solve ur problem because it has solved for mine. To clearly explain the above: Gecko engine based browsers including all versions of mozilla, firefox, kmeleon, galeon, epiphany etc. have following directory structure for the preference settings: Taking specific case of galeon on linux $HOME/.galeon/mozilla/profile name/ The lock file is created in this directory for the instance of browser running with profile name. In case of file system is not cleanly unmounted like in case of power failure, this lock file still remains which does not allow another instance of browser with same profile to run. regards Supreet ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
[ilugd] mozilla profile in use
i have redhat8 on a partition, with a nice, growing set of bookmarks in mozilla 1.01, and loads of email ids, folders, and emails, under evolution. yesterday, i installed mozilla 10, and debian sarge with a bit of sid. under mandrake10, i wrote a simple shell script, that mounts the rh8 partition under mandrake, and changes the UID of my evolution and .mozilla folder to match that of mandrake. i get all the emails, contacts, and bookmarks, under evolution and mozilla under mandrake 10. strangely, i do not get all my email identities, just one default identity. i can live with that for a moment. i then run the 'off' script, that changes the UID back to that of redhat8, unmounts the partition. i boot back into redhat8. i can access everything okay under evolution of redhat8. b u t . . . mozilla complains that the 'default profile' is under use and i could create another fresh nice one. ugh! i check the UID, it's okay. so how do i get mozilla to behave? i check processes in case there's some runaway mozilla, but none exists. abh kyaa karoon? btw, i did browse thru the /home/LL/.mozilla folder and buried somewhere did find an html of all my bookmarks. but i want them all back in mere wallah mozilla. :-) LL ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
