Easiest way is to follow Walt's advice (somewhat modified). Create a new folder 'seamonkey': Home /seamonkey Move the bz2 download to that folder and extract there (right click in Nautilus & select 'extract here'). That will create a subfolder 'seamonkey': Home /seamonkey/seamonkey To run that version of SeaMonkey, open a terminal and: $ /home/<username>/seamonkey/seamonkey/seamonkey Once SeaMonkey you are happy that everything is working, create a launcher: $ gedit /home/<username>/.local/share/applications/seamonkey.desktop Now copy & paste the following into the file: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=SeaMonkey Name[ast]=Veceru de corréu SeaMonkey Name[ca]=Client de correu SeaMonkey Name[cs]=Poštovní klient SeaMonkey Name[da]=SeaMonkey - e-post/nyhedsgruppe Name[de]=SeaMonkey-E-Mail und -Nachrichten Name[es]=Cliente de correo SeaMonkey Name[fi]=SeaMonkey-sähköposti Name[fr]=Messagerie SeaMonkey Name[gl]=Cliente de correo SeaMonkey Name[he]=SeaMonkey דוא״ל/חדשות Name[hr]=SeaMonkey e-pošta/novosti Name[hu]=SeaMonkey levelezőkliens Name[it]=Email SeaMonkey Name[ko]=SeaMonkey Name[nl]=SeaMonkey e-mail/nieuws Name[pl]=Klient poczty SeaMonkey Name[pt_BR]=Cliente de E-mail SeaMonkey Name[ru]=Почтовый клиент SeaMonkey Name[sk]=SeaMonkey - poštový klient a novin Name[sv]=E-postklienten SeaMonkey Name[ug]=SeaMonkey ئېلخەت/خەۋەر Name[zh_CN]=SeaMonkey 邮件/新闻 Name[zh_TW]=SeaMonkey 郵件 Comment=Send and receive mail with SeaMonkey Comment[ast]=Lleer y escribir corréu electrónicu Comment[ca]=Llegiu i escriviu correu Comment[cs]=Čtení a psaní pošty Comment[da]=Skriv/læs e-post/nyhedsgruppe med SeaMonkey Comment[de]=E-Mails und Nachrichten mit SeaMonkey lesen und schreiben Comment[es]=Lea y escriba correos y noticias con SeaMonkey Comment[fi]=Lue ja kirjoita sähköposteja Comment[fr]=Lire et écrire des courriels Comment[gl]=Lea e escriba correo electrónico Comment[he]=קריאה/כתיבה של דוא״ל/חדשות באמצעות SeaMonkey Comment[hr]=Čitajte/šaljite e-poštu s SeaMonkey Comment[hu]=Levelek írása és olvasása a SeaMonkeydel Comment[it]=Per leggere e scrivere email Comment[ja]=メールの読み書き Comment[ko]=SeaMonkey 메일/뉴스 읽기 및 쓰기 클라이언트 Comment[nl]=E-mail/nieuws lezen en schrijven met SeaMonkey Comment[pl]=Czytanie i wysyłanie e-maili Comment[pt_BR]=Ler e escrever suas mensagens Comment[ru]=Читайте и пишите письма Comment[sk]=Čítajte a píšte poštu, čítajte novinky pomocou programu SeaMonkey Comment[sv]=Läs och skriv e-post Comment[ug]=ئېلخەت ۋە خەۋەرلەرنى SeaMonkey دا كۆرۈش ۋە يېزىش Comment[zh_CN]=阅读邮件或新闻 Comment[zh_TW]=以 SeaMonkey 讀寫郵件或新聞 GenericName=Mail Client Exec=/home/<username>/seamonkey/seamonkey/seamonkey %u Terminal=false X-MultipleArgs=false Type=Application Icon=/home/<username>/seamonkey/seamonkey/chrome/icons/default/default48.png/default.png Categories=Application;Network;Email; MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;x-scheme-handler/mailto;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp; StartupWMClass=SeaMonkey StartupNotify=true GenericName[ast]=Client de correu GenericName[ca]=Client de correu GenericName[da]=E-postklient GenericName[de]=E-Mail-Anwendung GenericName[es]=Cliente de correo GenericName[fi]=Sähköpostiohjelma GenericName[fr]=Client de messagerie GenericName[gl]=Cliente de correo electrónico GenericName[he]=לקוח דוא״ל GenericName[hr]=Klijent e-pošte GenericName[hu]=Levelezőkliens GenericName[it]=Client email GenericName[ko]=메일 클라이언트 GenericName[nl]=E-mailprogramma GenericName[ru]=Почтовый клиент GenericName[sk]=Poštový klie GenericName[ug]=ئېلخەت دېتالى GenericName[zh_CN]=邮件新闻客户端 GenericName[zh_TW]=郵件用戶端 Be sure to change <username> to your actual username in the file. Save the file & exit gedit. Now open Nautilus and go to where you just created the desktop file: /home/<username>/.local/share/applications/ click & hold on the seamonkey.desktop file & drag it over to your Unity launch bar, release. Note: if you have issues with the launch bar not appearing, press & hold the Super key (Windows key on some keyboards). Note that I had you create the launcher in /home/<username>/.local/share/applications/seamonkey.desktop. The reason for that is I (and other 12.04 users) do not use Unity, I use GNOME Classic instead. By putting it in the /home/<username>/.local/share/applications/ the menu item will show when I open my menu. If you switch to GNOME Fallback (I think that's what it is), SeaMonkey will show up in your menu as well. Also note that I left in the multiple languages in the 'Desktop Entry'. Again, this is so that a non-english speaker can use the file as well. And final note: The SeaMonkey icon is not where you'd expect it to be... it's not in the 'icons' folder. Instead it is in: /home/<username>/seamonkey/seamonkey/chrome/icons/default/default.png (and default16.png & default48.png). That is why I added the full path in the 'Desktop Entry'. All of the above takes a few moments to set up. Once done you shouldn't have to do it again. When the next version of SeaMonkey comes out, you can update from Help|Check for Updates if your version is 32bit. If it is 64bit, you'll need to download each time, move the bz2 to /home/<username>/seamonkey/. Rename your old /seamonkey/seamonkey to /seamonkey/seamonkey_old and then extract the bz2. And you're back in business with the new version. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
