  Two things Bret:-
  1. Your sig de-limiter is broke (should be dash dash space), 
otherwise I could not have quoted it here, and,

  2. Hitchhiker's guide is actually a trilogy in five parts.

The citation is correct.

The edition was
published in 1992 by Pan Books
an imprint of Pan MacMillan Ltd
Pan MacMillan, 20 New Wharf Road, London N1 9RR
Basingstoke and Oxford
...
ISBN 0 330 31611 7.

The front cover is a picture of a bathroom wall, with a Philishave (?) 
(three-headed) electric shaver on a glass shelf, on
the left, on the right hand end of the glass shelf, is a digital 
watch, above that, is a glass hanging on the wall, containg
three toothbrushes, and between the electricity supply socket ito 
which the electric shaver is plugged, and the glass
hanging on the wall, is a mirror, containing an image of the Vogon 
bulldozer, oriented in the direction of travel from the
top right corner of the mirror, to the bottom left corner of the 
mirror. The wall tiles are coloured darkish blue.


See http://www.sfbok.se/asp/artikel.asp?VolumeID=24535 , for an

And, the cited quote is from the topmost paragraph on page 129 of the

Aaaah, thought you had the tabbrowser extensions or similar and

Feel free to use the NoScript extension
or the prefbar and uncheck the Javscript checkbox of it.


 The weather observation web page that refreshes every five minutes, has
 the auto-refresh command included in the header HTML code;

 nice and simple, and easy to find.

 If SeaMonkey had a way of overruling auto-refreshing, by using a switch,
 the same way that some web browsers manage to overrule and stop pop-ups,
 it would be quite convenient, and, reduce bandwidth wastage

None that I know of, maybe someone else has another hint for that one.

I never had any problems with meta refresh, I still wonder why SM should
crash from it, SM1 without exension is usually rock-stable.

SeaMonkey 1.1.17 instability

2009-10-14 Thread Bret Busby

Hello.

I am running Ubuntu 8.04, which is the latest LTS version of Ubuntu.

The latest version of SeaMonkey, that is available for this version of 
Ubuntu, from the Ubuntu repository, is SeaMonkey 1.1.17


My experience of this version of SeaMonkey, is that it consistently 
crashes. If I leave one or more browser windows open, and lock the 
computer screen, and walk away, and come back later, SeaMonkey can be 
relied on to have crashed.


From what I understand, with MS Windows 95, that operating system would 

run for 29 days (I think it was), and then it was supposed to crash.

SeaMonkey cannot run for anywhere near that length of time. Sometimes, 
maybe a few hours, sometimes, maybe a day or two, sometimes, if lucky, a 
few days. But, not much longer than that, very often.


With gxine, I found two web sites (one being the 2009 World Masters 
Games web site), that would cause a system crash, every time the web 
site was visited. The other web site is a loony political party web 
site, that I found.


SeaMonkey would open many pop-ups, that I cannot prevent, and then the 
system would crash. One of the pop-ups that was opened, that I saw, 
just before bthe syetm crashed, was gxine.


I removed gxine from the system, and that got rid of the system crash 
problem, from those two web sites.


But, SeaMonkey is still completely unstable, on this computer running 
Ubuntu 8.04.


Does anyone else have this problem?

I don't use Ubuntu but I do use Seamonkey on Linux for hours a day and
the crashes I've experienced are almost always caused by plug-ins. In
my case, I use 64-bit seamonkey and the crashes were almost always
caused by the 32-bit Adobe Flash plug-in, which I was using via
nspluginwrapper. Once the native 64-bit Flash plugin came out that
basically eliminated the crashes. (I've also have Java-related
crashes). If you have gxine opening then it sounds like perhaps
embedded media or plug-in related. I use the gecko-mediaplayer plugin
(as opposed to mplayerplug-in or calling external helper apps) and it
seems to work alright; at least it doesn't crash for me. (I don't use
nspluginwrapper at all now, it's not even installed)

Other causes for crashes I've experienced have been some versions of
KDE4 (where all gtk+ apps crased randomly, perhaps related to my
installed gtk-engines/themes or something)

In general, though, normal everyday use for me is fine and it does not crash.

Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit? Have you tried uninstalling plugins etc?



I am using 32-bit.

I don't have Flash installed (I won't have anything to do with it), and 
I do not have Java enabled for SeaMonkey. I try also to avoid having 
anything to do with Java.


When I leave SeaMonkey running and it crashes, as far as I am aware, it 
is not using any plugins.


Two of the web sites that I access, in one of my browser windows (a 
particular bookmark set includes the two web sites), auto refresh, one 
about every ten minutes, the other, I am not sure of the frequency. I 
have not been able to find how to stop the auto-refreshing and thus how

One web site is an online news web site, and the other is a weather 
observation web site. The weather one is the one that auto-refreshes at 
ten minute intervals.


But, that auto-refreshing, should surely not cause the application to 
crash


I use GNOME rather than KDE, although I have KDE applications installed 
(I think that it is a KDE version of solitaire, or patience, that is the 
only one that I can handle; a nice, simple, single card dealing game).


I use the Classic theme for SeaMonkey.

 Hello.
 
 I am running Ubuntu 8.04, which is the latest LTS version of Ubuntu.
 
 The latest version of SeaMonkey, that is available for this version of 
 Ubuntu, from the Ubuntu repository, is SeaMonkey 1.1.17
 
...
 I removed gxine from the system, and that got rid of the system crash 
 problem, from those two web sites.
 
 But, SeaMonkey is still completely unstable, on this computer running 
 Ubuntu 8.04.
 
 Does anyone else have this problem?

You'll need to report those issues here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seamonkey/+bugs
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gxine

I recommend downloading SeaMonkey 2.0[1], extract to it's own folder in
your home directory (~/seamonkey) and running from there.
