Linux-firefox does not start
Hi, I installed www/linux-firefox from ports (FreeBSD 8.2/amd64). The first time it ran, it did some checks. During this time there was an unexpected power loss. Since then whenever I try to start linux-firefox, I get the error message An instance of firefox is already. Close it or restart your system. But no solution works. I even did a 'make deinstall' followed by 'make install clean' a couple of times. All of no avail. Can anyone please point out what I need to do to get linux-firefox to start ?

Thank you If firefox is really running, you may try killing it. To see if it's running, as root: ps aux |grep firefox One way of killing it (a dirty one): killall firefox OR look up the PID number for firefox (the first number from the left) that the above ps command shows you and kill PID-number-of-firefox Still struggling with getting Flash to work and that's why you installed linux-firefox instead of the native one? Sorry I didn't tell you last time more specifics than just following the Handbook, I thought it was detailed enough. How did you install the linux layer? Do you have linux kernel module loaded and the linproc filesystem mounted? -Jeff ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Linux-firefox does not start
Your profile might have been damaged while it was being checked and the power loss occurred. Try $ mv .mozilla/firefox/ .mozilla/firefox.bak and start firefox again.

Re: Linux-firefox does not start
Firefox keeps a lock file at $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/{hash.something}/lock .
Delete that and try again. Or just run firefox -no-remote -P and
create another profile. You should find backups of your bookmarks in
the older profile's folder, so you can recover them.
Greetings,
Thomas

Problem solved. For some reason, my ~/.mozilla/ was owned by root so just chown'ing it did the trick. Thanks for the help.

Re: firefox/mozilla wont start
I had such situation on 5.4-RELEASE. It happens only when you haven't got connection to network. It takes 5-10 minutes for Firefox to start.

Firefox will not start after javaplugin install failed.
Hi! I stumbled upon a page that complained that I had to install a java plugin to view the page. I do have a java jvm installed but din't think and clicked the webpage and told it to install that Linux plugin, since it would probably work better than the Windows one anyway. Now, afterwards Firefox just wont start! It says: bash-2.05b$ firefox firefox-bin: Fatal IO error 78 (Function not implemented) on X server :0.0. bash-2.05b$ Anyone know what that means? Is there one smart way I can fix what the install have destroyed?

I did a 'make deinstall; make reinstall' but it didn't help. heya andreas, my guess would be that your java install added a few files that are not recognized by the port 'deinstall' mechanism (because they're not listed in the firefox port), so it leaves them and the directories intact. so, when you reinstall, these files are still kicking around. you're probably going to want to deinstall firefox and watch for messages which complain about not being able to remove directories. look for these and any other firefox folders which still have content, then manually delete them. (probably somewhere under/usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/...) locate firefox | more might be helpful. you might also want to copy your ~/.firefox directory to ~/.firefox.old, reinstall, launch, close, then manually move any settings you want to keep back into the newly created ~/.firefox directory. good luck, epi /andreas ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
