Re: SeaMonkey installation precedure

2011-06-14 Thread cyberzen

Roger Fink a écrit :

Suggestion for future major releases of SeaMonkey, such as the upgrade from
2.0.14 to 2.1.

I tried this upgrade a few days ago but wound up reverting back to 2.0.14
(note that despite using system restore to do this, I still had to manually
reestablish some of my original settings, such as theme and home page). The
reason I went back to 2.0.14 was because there just weren't enough installed
extensions yet that were upgradable to 2.1.

While I don't know the technical problems involved, I think it would be a
lot more user-friendly to search out the existing installation before a new
version is installed and present to the user the same list of existing
installed extensions that are currently incompatible, and also predetermine
whether upgrades for them exist. This would be followed by a box to proceed
or cancel.

This would allow the user to make a decision to install or not install,
rather than have to install and revert (or regret).




I had the same experience yesterday, and feel regretting not staying in 
2.1 also due to the loss of extensions.
I did not find an upgrade/downgrade guide from 2.0.14 to 2.1 and I have 
reinstalled 2.0.13 as I did not from 2.0.14 yesterday (it is again 
available today)


is that a way to disable the version testing for the extensions ?
or a way to change the max version number in the extensions ?

this may be more and more annoying as we enter in a version race

for example, I am still regretting the lack of media player connectivity 
that was ok in SM 1.x , still working in firefox 3.6 but not in FF 4, SM 
2 and up, I am sure it could work but I can't make it..

When I view ASCII text Web pages that have no explicit line breaks in
the SeaMonkey browser, the pages are displayed without wrapping. Is
there a way to get wrapping?

An example is at http://rossde.com/test/Wrap_test.txt, which my
service's Web server delivers as text/plain.

Apparently, this is NOT a new problem. I see the same results with SM
2.0.14 and SM 2.1.


I use (since SeaMonkey 1.*) the very handy Toggle Word Wrap extension:

That's what 2.1 does. And it's not beta any more, it's RC, which means
it's as good as release, with just minor adjustments to be made still.


I sure hope that one of those adjustments is in the installer.


Yes, the installer glitches are why it hasn't shipped as final yet. We
fixed the default theme thing for the first build of RC2 but didn't even
release that one as we found yet another problem with localizations and
optional extensions that we need to do a second build for, and then RC2
should be there and hopefully will be converted to the actual final

Robert, I think I hear you saying that when I get messages such as SM
2.1 not supported that this is a problem to be fixed in a nxt release
of SM. So, I should just be patient.
Is that correct?

I currently have a problem with FxIF- View EDXIF data,  Image Zoom, and
StumbleUpon.

Thanks

IF the problem is that the Web server is sniffing for Firefox instead
of Gecko, SeaMonkey 2.1 solves the problem.  It automatically presents
a user agent (UA) string that contains Firefox.

This feature can be turned off.  On the menu bar, select [Edit
Preferences  Advanced  HTTP Networking] and uncheck the checkbox for
Advertise Firefox compatibility.

Composer, since it's very beginning was never intended to be the
all-powerful editor for the most savvy, web-design commercial type users
but rather a simple built-in editor for those users with simple personal
web pages, etc. that only need to create, maintain and update on an
every now and then basis.

If you want a more powerful and easy to use editor then install
Kompozer, http://kompozer.net/ which is based on NVU. NVU is the base
foundation for the Netscape built-in editor and AFAIK is also the basis
for SM's editor, not sure on that tho.

Quote Colors is in a similar situation, but again, it seems to work with

A bit more work to setup, but far far less work than export/import

I'm at least going to look into that myself, but would probably run my own

For what reason? Note that all data sent to a server by Sync is not
readable by the server or its operators as it's encrypted on the client
side and the private key is never sent to the server. Of course, as we
are an open organization, you can set up your own server as well, of
course, Mozilla even provides a version for you to install.

Security is not a major issue, at least for most people, but depending on the 
network and someone else' servers for backup (and rollback if needed) might be. 
If I understand the limitations on version compatibility between machines, that 
might be an issue as well.

In your profile.

Find the extensions directory.  Do a search in that directory for all
instances of install.rdf.  Edit all of them to set em:maxVersion to 2.1.
(I actually set it to 2.*)

Be careful.  Some extensions have different em:maxVersion values for
different applications.  If there is more than one em:maxVersion, be
sure to change it for SeaMonkey.



But, if you removed the add-on via Tools/add-on manager the directory that
housed that extension will be empty.



You can redownload the xpi here without
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/addons/67148/
An xpi is a zip archive, so you could unzip, modify the install.rdf,
rezip and install that way if you wanted to. Or just try installing from
the xpi   when it fails it may expand into the proper folder   then
modify the install.rdf.



Ah, yes - I didn't realize that a re-install, even though it failed, would leave
the load intact.  Downloaded the .xpi, went to the directory, changed the .rdf
file and - viola - a restart of SM showed the add-on now works.
(This with the Show IP add-on)  Others will be tried tomorrow.  Thanks.



I just tried an experiment.  I opened WinZip.  I dragged a PrefBar .xpi
file into the empty WinZip window.  Seeing install.rdf, I viewed it with
Wordpad.  I was able to edit install.rdf and save the result back into
the .xpi file.  All this worked without actually extracting install.rdf
and then rezipping it after editing.

I think you you mean manually extracting... here, extracting and update still 
need to be done to make the checksums correct.



I don't know if other zip applications will work this way, and I don't
know if any of this can be done on non-Windows platforms.

Has anyone else seen the following?  I've had this problem from the

I am getting frequent back screens in SM 2.1. When I'm doing something

my screen will go black briefly (perhaps a half second or a second).

I did not have this behavior on SM 2.0.14.

I created entirely new user profiles for SM 2.1 - am not reusing the
profiles I had use under 2.0.14.

I've checked my dpkg.og to see if there might have been Linux
maintenance installed in the same timeframe as my SM 2.1 install, but
there was no Linux installation within 24 hrs of the SM 2.1 installation.

Any ideas?

Yes. Are you running GNOME or the new Unity (IIRC) window manager on Ubuntu? I 
have a vast distrust of all those WM which require accelerated video cards, 
since firmware sometimes gets updates in the middle of a production run and may 
behave differently.


Same question for MINT, does it by chance use GNOME3?

I have Ubuntu running on a VM, using GNOME, unfortunately MINT and SuSE are 
downloaded and in the someday queue, so I can't really test carefully. I didn't 
see any issues with SM in Ubuntu under GNOME, so that's a half of a data point.

There are two possible causes.

_SeaMonkey was not closed completely_

If you started SeaMonkey in Safe Mode, it will remain in Safe Mode until 
SeaMonkey is completely closed. The easiest way to make sure SeaMonkey 
is closed is to restart your computer.



_Shortcut updated to open Safe Mode_

You may have updated the shortcut you use to start SeaMonkey to open it 
in Safe Mode and forgotten to change it back.


1. Right-click the icon you use to start SeaMonkey and choose Properties.
2. Click on the Shortcut tab.
3. Make sure the Target: box doesn't include -safe-mode at the end.

Most times, it's better to have actual data. SM2.0 was released on Oct

From there, you can go through all the posts made in the first few days
and what the volume of traffic was, and compare it to 2.1.


Maybe it's because that archive starts with the Release Candidate


Actually the archive starts from January 2006, when this newsgroup was 
created. See

An example is athttp://rossde.com/test/Wrap_test.txt, which my

Apparently, this is NOT a new problem.  I see the same results with SM

Phil Chee's suggestion in the other thread does work.  In

No, Groupmarks are gone. Still you can open the contents of any 
bookmarks folder in tabs by either using the context menu, Ctrl+click, 
or middle click.



2) In SM 2.0.x, when I open a group of tabs, my current window would
replace the current windows with the Group set. Preferences has a
setting that asks you if you want SM to simply add new tabs or perform
the replacement as 2.0.x did, and I have selected replacement, but SM
2.1 continues to add my Open all in Tabs groups as new tabs.


I guess you mean the Link Behavior prefs. They only apply to links 
determined to be opened in new windows, via scripts, or from external 
applications. If there is a setting for bookmarks then I don't know it, 
sorry. The old browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace has been removed.


For Firefox, there seem to be add-ons that provide that functionality, 
like Openintabs-erase, Replacetabs Extension, or Tab Mix Plus. I didn't 
try any of those but I would assume that at least the former two might 
be easy to adapt for SeaMonkey (by a knowledgeable add-on developer like

Can you create separate CSS stylesheets with it? All I see is inline
styling for each element when I try and help someone who complains their

with pages designed with Composer.

Does it handle HTML5? How do I change the default HTML 4.01 Transitional

Keep it for email, hide the icon, disable Ctrl+4 and the Window menu
item until such time it is compatible with the changes in web design.

I'll stick with hand coding in a text editor or use Aptana Studio.

I've never used it for web pages. But most of it is used in the

I understand the need, but I just disagree that's a good idea to save 
important passwords in your browser's password manager. The problem with 
that is:


- Either you set a long timeout for the master password, and the 
passwords stay available if you get up for lunch and forget to close the 
browser,
- Or you set it short, but keep being annoyed by the browser asking for 
your master password for routine, low-security stuff like downloading 
mail or visiting forums.


So I save the routine passwords in Seamonkey. WITHOUT a master password. 
That's a deliberate choice: it gives me convenience for unimportant stuff.


The important stuff I keep in a SEPARATE high-security password manager. 
So the security of my important passwords is not impinged upon by the 
convenience of the low-security ones.


And I still have just one master password to remember.

(Yes, I COULD keep my banking passwords and PGP passphrases in KeePass. 
It's considered very secure, probably lots more than the Mozilla keyword 
manager. I choose not to do so out of paranoia. There's other good

Re: Seamonkey 2.1 -- worst version ever

2011-06-14 Thread MCBastos

Interviewed by CNN on 14/06/2011 10:09, Jay Garcia told the world:


Composer, since it's very beginning was never intended to be the
all-powerful editor for the most savvy, web-design commercial type users
but rather a simple built-in editor for those users with simple personal
web pages, etc. that only need to create, maintain and update on an
every now and then basis.

If you want a more powerful and easy to use editor then install
Kompozer, http://kompozer.net/ which is based on NVU. NVU is the base
foundation for the Netscape built-in editor and AFAIK is also the basis
for SM's editor, not sure on that tho.


Actually, nVu/Kompozer was intended to be to the Composer module what 
Firefox is to the Browser module and Thunderbird is to the Mail module: 
an improved, stand-alone version. And it is, somewhat -- but the Web 
moved on, and from current perspective it's not THAT much better than 
the Composer module to be worth the effort of porting the improvements 
back in.


I'm not sure about removing Composer -- but I think I would like some 
preference to hide it. Now and then I click on the wrong status bar icon 
and open it when what I wanted was another module...

 This situation is ennoying.

 I'm seeing the same thing with Thunderbird 3.1.10.  Also, an unread
 message sometimes gets marked as read as I open the newsgroup before it
 appears in the header pane.

 This is not the same  read messages are not un-read messages because 
 i read it the day before. Thread is underlined to tell me that there is 
 at least one unread message, but all messages are readed before and no 
 one is un bolt.

I am not sure of what you mean.

In my problem with unread messages --

(1)  The Header entry is underlined, and there is a count of unread
messages in that thread.  But when I open the thread, the count changes;
and there are fewer unread messages than originally indicated.

(2)  When I look carefully at the date-time of some already read
messages in the thread, I see that I could not have already read them.
The date-time is later than the last time I used Thunderbird.

(3)  I also see unread messages with subsequent replies that are marked
as already read.  The unread messages have earlier times than the
already read replies.  I definitely do not jump around in a thread
that way.

FWIW I do get that occasionally; not just on news.mozilla.org, but on
other news servers as well. Seems as if the msg read bits get out of
sorts. Generally when that happens I close the nntp window that I'm
using  reload a new one to see if that will reset it. Sometimes it
does, sometimes it doesn't until close SM and restart. Doesn't happen
often, but certainly when it does it's irritating.

Browsing History and Password Manager(2.1)

2011-06-14 Thread paladinsama
The Browsing History screen has changed on Seamonkey 2.1, removing the 
options to specify for how long the history is maintained.


Image 1
http://paladinsama.com/images/BrowsingHistory.2.0.png
Image 2
http://paladinsama.com/images/BrowsingHistory.2.1.png

So how does it work now? Do we have to use about:config to change the 
values? Are these changeable at all?



Also, I liked the Password Manager screen before, with an option to see 
a list off all accounts and passwords regardless of site, and the option 
to sort them alphabetically by username or password. Is there an option 
to have the old behavior back?

I usually want that setting dynamically triggered per view (even 
multiple times per view), rather than fixed for a specific site.


The Toggle Word Wrap extension also works in the MailNews part.  I 
don't think one knows which new message will need to get the setting 
or not.  The extension provides some more magic with plain text 
message composition - (dynamically) suppressing automatic text wrap 
and format=flowed sending (useful for some cases [1]).
