Netscape Problems
Hi, I am having problems using netscape.
I am currently trying to use 4.76. The command
'netscape' (which ends up at
/usr/lib/netscape/base-4/wrapper) ends with this
result:
Netscape: Ignoring unsupported format code in mailcap
file: %{
Bus error
I have also tried netscape 4.77 with the same result.
Interestingly (to me anyways) is that if I run
/usr/lib/netscape/476/communicator/communicator-smotif.real
netscape works fine. Of course I can't do this
because it doesnt load up my configurations which is
something I would like :)
Anyways I'm not too sure if anyone can give me the
solution to this problem, but someone might be able to
help me solve it. I have no clue what to try. I'm
pretty sure the Bus error isn't caused by the mailcap
error.
Please CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] because I use
netscape for mail and so I'm not subscribed to
debian-user.
Thanks,
Diot

Problem w/Netscape and repartitioning for Woody
Let me explain what I have done, so far. Then I will explain my problems. I want to set up separate partitions on my box for tracking Woody (Testing). So far, I have created a new partition for / (/dev/hda11) and cp'd everything from my current / partition to it. At the moment, I am still using my original partitions for /var, /tmp, /usr, /usr/local, and /home. Once I have everything working and before I upgrade to Woody I will make new partitions for /usr and /usr/local. I plan to use the same partitions for /var, /tmp, and /home for both Stable and Testing. Is this acceptable? Should I make separate partitions for these, as well? Now on to my problems: 1) I can't get Netscape Communicator 4.77 to load if I boot to my new partition. Opera will load and get its home page, but Netscape gives an error that says something like "Unable to determine my name. Aborting." and then it just dies. Did I do something wrong when I copied over my files from my current / directory (including /etc)? What have I missed? Any ideas? 2) If I boot to stable and then run df everything is fine. The output shows /dev/hda1 mounted on / as it should be. I can then mount my new partition (/dev/hda11) and run df again and it still displays everything correctly. If I boot to Testing, however, and run df it shows that /dev/hda1 (NOT /dev/hda11) is mounted on / even though the stats that it shows are correct for /dev/hda11. If I mount /dev/hda1 (Stable /) on /mnt and run df then it shows both / and /mnt as containing /dev/hda1 (but does show the correct stats for /dev/hda11 and /dev/hda1, respectively). Is this a problem? What happens when I create and mount new partitions for /usr and /usr/local which will be /dev/hda12 and /dev/hda13? Will they not show correctly,either? How do I correct this? Having df not show the correct partition name worries me. -- Marc Shapiro "If you drink melomel every day, [EMAIL PROTECTED]you will live to be 150 years old, Please visit "The Meadery" at: unless your wife shoots you." http://www.bigfoot.com/~m_shapiro/ -- Dr. Ferenc Androczi, winemaker, Little Hungary Farm Winery

wheel scrolls but arrows keys don't in netscape
I have set up the netscape according to: http://www-sop.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/ now the scrolling with mouse works fairly ok but I cannot scroll using space (full page) or arrow keys. what's strange is that when I use left/right arrow keys the Location: fields becomes activated (and cursor moves right left as I press arrow keys), now with Location field active I can use up/down arrows to scroll the html document! The space does not work in this case either. is there any way to make both wheel and arrow keys/space work in netscape?

Re: new to linux, trying to get netscape to work
Peter, When you installed if you did not add an sources to your system on the install, go to /etc/apt and with vi do a vi sources.list. This will open the sources.list in a text editor. In the sources.list you will see lines that start with the # space then deb-ftp, or # space deb-src. For those lines move the cursor to that line and then press the x key twice, that will delete the # and the space. Do that on every line, when your done press the Esc key then type :wq that will save the changes that you just made. Now type apt-get install communicator. That will download teh Netscape files and install them. Netscape is called a non-free program and does not come on the cd's. Hope this isn't to confusing and it helps.

Debian is a collection of software that includes the Linux kernel; the Debian release number doesn't mean very much because you can upgrade individual packages; it doesn't do much more than identify the CD's approximate age. >The installation went fine, and I was able to dial my ISP using "PON" >In the windows manager FVWM95 there's a button on the taskbar for >Netscape.

Look into the manual pages for fvwm95 and learn how it's put together. It is quite configurable, and you can change the buttons or the commands they run or both. If the package containing the command linked to a button has not been installed, the button will do nothing. >I installed Netscape from my Netscape 4.75 CD, using the instructions >that came with the CD.

On your CDs you may well find a Netscape installer package. But what you have done is pefectly valid; it may just need a bit more effort on your part to learn what is happening. The problem is probably that fvwm95 expects Netscape to be in a particular place, but you will have put it somewhere else. You would do best to look at a basic tutorial on using Debian such as http://www.newriders.com/debian/html/noframes/debian-tutorial.ht ml and learn about search paths. Somewhere under the directory where you installed Netscape there should be an executable program called netscape; if, in an xterm window, you change into that directory and type ./netscape it should start up, or give an error message that will explain what is going wrong. >Where did I go wrong? Was it a mistake to buy Debian from Cheap*Bytes? >Do I just need a newer release? Is Netscape normally included with the >Debian release?

new to linux, trying to get netscape to work
I'm so frustrated with Windows frequently "freezing up" that I'd really like to get Linux to work on my machine. I bought a release of Debian about two years ago from Cheap*Bytes. The disks say that it's release 2.1, though when I was installing it I noticed a message that seemed to imply that I had Debian 2.0.34. (But I don't remember the exact message, unfortunately.) I ended up not using Linux back then because I had a "Winmodem" on my machine. Now that I have an external USRobotics modem I'm trying Linux again. The installation went fine, and I was able to dial my ISP using "PON" In the windows manager FVWM95 there's a button on the taskbar for Netscape. Nothing happened when I clicked on it. This also happened for the Files, Editor, and Xview buttons. But the Xterm, Xcalc, Kill, and Ghostview buttons do work. I installed Netscape from my Netscape 4.75 CD, using the instructions that came with the CD. (copy the .tar file, issue the tar -xvf command, then run ns-install.) I assume everything went OK since there were no error messages. But I still couldn't start Netscape! Where did I go wrong? Was it a mistake to buy Debian from Cheap*Bytes? Do I just need a newer release? Is Netscape normally included with the Debian release? Thanks, Peter Christensen

Netscape Error: Readlink error: Invalid argument
Hi: I recently got a new hard-drive because I was running out of space and I created a new partition on this which I mounted as /usr. I copied (cp -R ) all the files from the original /usr. Now netscape does not run at all. The version of netscape is Netscape navigator 4.73, my linux is slink, the kernel 2.2.17. It had been running fine before. The error message is: Readlink error: Invalild argument Can't determine my name. Aborting. Clearly, while copying some links have got messed up. I thought it was just the link to netscape-smotif. This was an actual file in the new partition in /usr/lib/netscape/473. I removed this and linked /usr/lib/netscape/base-4/wrapper to netscape-smotif, but I got the same error. Any suggestions how I can run this down? Thanks. Sebastian -- Sebastian Canagaratna Department of Chemistry Ohio Northern University [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Netscape v.s. C source code
Hi, I have HTML-ized documentation for a code library that contains links to the actual header files. Clicking on the link is supposed to show the contents of the "fool.h" file, for example. However, instead of displaying the text in the netscape window, I get a little popup showing the first few dozen lines and the message << stderr diagnostics have been truncated >> with an "OK" button. It is the same popup you sometimes get when netscape runs a "helper" application (e.g. ghostview) to display something. I looked through netscape's list of "helper apps" in the preferences panel, and discovered several things with mime types like text/x-csrc text/x-chdr that were set to be handled by "unknown:promptuser" or something (I've mucked about and can't recall exactly). However, the option to be handled by "Navigator" is greyed out and un-selectable. WTF? It's *text*, after all. What magic spell do I need to convince navigator to put it into the main window like a "foo.txt" file? Thanks so much, -Steve P.S. This is a Debian/unstable system, with Communicator 4.77.

Netscape 4.77 - spell checker
Hi, I recently went from Netscape 4.76 to 4.77 via stable and have just noticed that the spell check option is greyed out on the menues now. What should I do to get the spell checker back? What idiot thing am I likly to have done to have lost it? I also noticed, whilst I am on the subject, that even when I had 4.76 running and the spell checker worked, the custom.dic file never took any of the words I wanted to add to it. it remains at a zero file length What is likly to be wrong with my setup here?

fetchmail, mutt, imapd and netscape
Hello Here is what I want: get mail via fetchmail - sort into maildir format (~/Maildir) - works! use mutt to read mail when at the console - works!

I've followed the documentation in http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.imap.html without any luck.

This has probably come up a million times. I've been searching the archives for 45 minutes and can't find what I'm looking for. I would like to install just Navigator. Not the whole communicator stuff. I've tried - # apt-get install netscape-smotif-475 # apt-get install netscape and both want to install tons of stuff. All I need is the browser. Any way to do this?

Try it and see - load an xterm and type "netscape". If you're root, you'll see the error. The restriction that Netscape can't be run as root comes from the wrapper script that one of the Debian developers has created, which is run when you type 'netscape' at a prompt or run it from a menu. This restriction is not a 'feature' of Netscape itself. The wrapper script prints out an error message, but if you didn't run Netscape from a prompt you won't see it. I suppose it would be nice if the wrapper script popped up an error message window, you might even like to file a wishlist bug against netscape for it, but I don't think it's worth the effort as you shouldn't be running as the root user anyway. Run as a normal user and use 'su' to temporarily change to root when required. Matthew

Newbie: Netscape woes
Have you ever felt like you were the butt of some cosmic joke that everyone else was in on but you? Oh well. I will hold off on the newbie rant. I am trying to set up a Linux/Netscape test machine to test web applications. I got Debian up and running including X and my nic card. TCP/IP seems to be functioning just fine. I have FTP and Lynx works great. I figured installing Netscape would be a snap. I went to Netscape's website and downloaded the latest tar, unpackaged and ran the install. It installed without a hitch. I tried to run it and nothing happened. No errors. No nothing. As if I never activated the executable. Then I start reading about a Debian-Netscape package. Great. I try apt-get install communicator navigator netscape It looks on my cd rom for the packages and reports back that they aren't there. I go out on my install disk and find NS3. I run the package. It starts to install then asks for the netscape tar in my /temp dir. I ftp the correct tar to my /temp dir. I run the package. It seems to install fine. I try to run it. Nothing. Same as before. Then I start to look into apt and find I don't have it configured to look out on the net. I un-remark all of the lines and suddenly apt-get is a lot more useful. I run update and dist-upgrade, then I run install communicator navigator netscape. It installs the latest version of Communicator. Cool. I go to my applications menu and click on Communicator. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I am going to shelf the rant/whine and just ask... Does anybody have any idea why Netscape will not launch? Is it my old non-deb install that I never uninstalled? Please help!

Netscape products have a license which is not DFSG compliant.
They are non-free and due to this nature they do not come
on the Official Debian 6-CD set.

Setting the DefaultColorDepth to 24 causes acroread to segfault and netscape to display toolbar icons in black/white. All other apps are OK.

Hi All, I'm using Netscape 4.7 but the spelling feature is turned off. This is a real problem for me because I spell like an eight year old. I've got ispell installed and I can't think of what other package it might need. Any suggestions? Thanks, Andy

black & white icons in Netscape
Hi folks, This must be a Debian-newbie question. I have lots of other Linux experience, but decided to move on to Debian. So far so good, I really like it. Even ordered yesterday the "Debian-inside" sticker from copyleft to glue on my PC ;-). One problem though: I installed Netscape 4.76, which works fine, but the toolbar-icons (back, forward, reload, home, etc.) are all in black and white. The content of the pages is perfectly colored. What to do? Willem

Re: Netscape?
Please check the Debian package repository. It might be on Netscape's site, but when looking for a Debian package... http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian2.2r2/non-free/binary-sparc/web/ There appear to be quite a few versions of Netscape available. I've got an UltraSPARC 10, and I've gotten more than 8 bit color out of it as well, though maybe you've got a different video card than the one I've got in this.

what does the following error occur when typing text in netscape?
specifically I'll be typing something in a search query box, for example, and certain letters will appear as -, that is, a hyphen. This behaviour seems also shows up for text displayed by netscape in certain fonts and it varies over time during a single instance of netscape. I am running Potato. -walter

I'm guessing most of the programs have some built-in default. Unless I'm mistaken, Netscrape "remembers" the last size when it exits (preferences.js is where it puts the info, I believe). Apps may or may not respond to something like "emacs.Geometry: 80x80+20+20" in a resource file. I believe you might want such settings in /etc/X11/Xresources/ (for globals) or ~/.Xresources per user. Don't ever bother editing /etc/X11/app-defaults settings, they'll get overwritten on the next upgrade (unless this behavior has changed?). -- Eric G. Miller

Re: netscape won't reinstall
/usr/bin/X11/communicator is not the binary, but is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/communicator, which is a symlink to /usr/lib/netscape/476/communicator/communicator-smotif, which is a symlink to /usr/lib/netscape/base-4/wrapper, which is a script which does a bunch of things, including figuring out what binary to run, and eventually calls the actual binary, /usr/lib/netscape/476/communicator/communicator-smotif.real As you can see, this is all quite straightforward :^) It sounds like your installation has some problems. I would recommend a dpkg --purge on any netscape|navigator|communicator packages and removal of all remaining traces in /usr/bin/X11 or /etc/alternatives then installation of just plain "communicator" or "navigator", which are meta-packages with dependencies to the needed packages. Be sure to get the versions from security.debian.org. Or you can chuck the whole thing and install mozilla or opera!

You should have /usr/bin/X11/communicator, which is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/communicator, which is a script that will run netscape or mozilla depending on the situation.

netscape, vfat, kernel 2.4.x
I have a dual boot Pentium III system with Windoze 98 on hda (vfat fs) and Debian unstable on hdb (e2fs). I mount hda with the following line in /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1 /windowsvfatrw,uid=0,gid=100,umask=0 0 0 My wife's email is popped from our ppp down to a file on the vfat drive using Netscape messenger 4.76. In her home directory on hdb, I put a symbolic link to the directory on hda1 where netscape downloads the mail from the pop server. This works fine when I run kernel 2.2.17. However, I made a custom 2.4.1 kernel and I see that netscape messenger won't read the files from the mail directory on hda. I thought this might be a kernel problem so today I made a 2.4.2 kernel, and still netscape messenger won't read the files. Is this a netscape bug? It works under 2.2.17 but not 2.4.2.

Re: Installing Netscape 4 on 2.2r2
The apt-get install communicator is the right way, but you need
deb ftp://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main non-free
in your /etc/apt/sources.list.
Then to run it you have to run communicator (running netscape gets you mozilla).
And if you run communicator while mozilla is running, you get a new mozilla
window instead (it uses /etc/alternatives/communicator instead of running it
directly).

Installing Netscape 4 on 2.2r2
I am attempting to install Netscape 4 on 2.2r2, but am having
difficulty.
When I do 'apt-get install netscape4', a package is installed, as
expected. However there does not seem to be an executable instsalled,
and in fact the DEB package is only a few hundered K in size --
certainly not the whole of Netscape. A file called 'netscape-remote'
does exist however, and running this generates an error message ("Cannot
connect to display", I think).
'apt-get install communicator' leads to an error message suggest that
apt knows about the communicator package, although can't find it, for
some reason (and in fact, I can't see it on my three CD set, either).
What am I actually meant to do to run/install Netscape?

Netscape often hangs
Hi, I use Netscape 4.76 together with Debian 2.2r2. Very often when I start Nescape and click its menu bar the cursor changes and all of X freezes (btw, I'm running Gnome). I then have to switch to the console and kill Netscape in order to continue working with X. What might be causing this problem? TIA, Felix

It normally happens on mine after choosing an item from a select field (not all, but many). Switching to a different virtual screen and back (in E for me) will fix it too, but I have to use the mouse, because E won't let me use my key bindings after the event. :) All is restored once a virtual screen can be changed though. -- Mike Brownlowhttp://www.wsmake.org/~mike/ - 1024D/8AA6EAFD 3861 96B3 EEA2 285C BE23 F706 3E1E EBB2 8AA6 EAFD "Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins."

I've had that one. It's since gone away -- I'm tracking sid. Don't recall what the issue was. Netscape sucks. Unfortunately, it's about the best browser for my PPro/180 box If you've got a faster processor (PIII 300+ MHz), Mozilla's getting better. I prefer Skipstone and Galeon from a design standpoint but wouldn't call them useable. Konqueror's pretty damned good. w3m rocks, if you like ascii-only (I do). -- Karsten M.

If you are using Gnome or KDE, try installing grdb or krdb. This will apply your GTK/KDE theme to 'legacy' applications like netscape. On my woody system there's also /etc/X11/Xresources/netscape which might be what you are looking for. Frank

Lo, on Saturday, March 17, William Leese did write: > I think I found this mentioned somewhere, something to do with editing your > .Xresources file. Does anyone know more of this? Well, if you're looking for X resource settings which affect Netscape, look for a file named Netscape.ad. On my potato system, it's in /usr/lib/netscape/476/communicator/Netscape.ad, among other places. This lists all of the resources that Netscape acknowledges. It's been a while since I've looked through that file, and it's quite large, so I may be wrong, but I don't remember any color settings in there. Still, it's worth a look. Richard
Applying colors to Netscape
I think I found this mentioned somewhere, something to do with editing your .Xresources file. Does anyone know more of this?

Finding search results in Netscape
Hi, when I use the find command in Netscape, the found text is allways marked yellow. That is very hard to read on white backround. Where can I change this color? TIA, Felix
