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
