I don't seem to see anything really wrong. You say the browser works and
none of the warnings seem to be deal breakers. Just create an icon to
launch SeaMonkey on your desktop and away you go. As for not being able
to start from just using 'seamonkey', that would only work if
/usr/local/seamonkey is in your path. Most modern UNIX/Linux releases do
not out-of-the-box enable forgoing the leading './' on program execution
as a means of ensuring that you're executing the program you're
expecting to execute.
Thanks for the response. There are some issues that lead me to suspect
my installation hasn't completed properly though:
1. The only way I can open SM is by terminal command ./seamonkey from
/usr/local/seamonkey.
2. My Terminal remains held all the time I'm using SM and only clears
when I close SM
3. A SM icon automatically appears in my Unity taskbar on the left
of my screen while SM is running, but it disappears again when
I close SM, so there's no obvious way I can reopen SM again
unless I go to /usr/local/seamonkey in Terminal again and type
./seamonkey. I don't know how to make that SM icon stay in
position in Unity and serve as a path link to re-open SM when needed
(Unity is relatively new to me)
4. Although I have Adobe Flash Player installed and it's working
fine on Firefox, I'm getting a prompt to install it whenever I try
to view pages with video content on SM.
5. In my list of installed applications, SM does not appear.
Hence I'm left with the impression that all those GTK-WARNING ** Failed
to load type module: (null) lines that appear in Terminal each time I
try to load SM indicate that something is going wrong, Terminal is
getting stuck, and my load is not completing properly.
Any suggestions? + John
Thanks Exalm for your suggestions, but 'fraid I'm still stuck on these
problems. On Sun, 05 Jan 2014 at 23:57:01 +0600 you wrote:
Go to ~/.local/share/applications directory (create it if it's absent),
create seamonkey.desktop file (look other files there, or in
/usr/share/applications), so that its command is "/usr/local/seamonkey"
its name is "SeaMonkey" or "SeaMonkey Internet Suite" or whatever etc.
OK, I know the command I need is /usr/local/seamonkey/./seamonkey 'cos
that works from Terminal, and I've found lots.of examples of desktop
configuration files in /usr/share/applications. My problem is that I
don't know how to create a new one for SM. If I left click on one of
these example files, it immediately opens the program it was created
for, and if I right click on it, I can view its properties and the
command it's invoking, but how do I edit or create a new one? What
format do these desktop config files take?
Also you add this:
StartupWMClass=Seamonkey
So that it gets correctly matched with SM windows in Unity.
Please can you explain exactly where I should add this?
Another option is to use a PPA. I have one:
https://launchpad.net/~exalm/+archive/seamonkey
Because of some errors with Python, the package is built for Quantal. It
should work on Precise as well.
And it has the mentioned above appmenu patch, so the appmenu should work.
I downloaded Oubuntu1ppa4-quantal_all.deb (the English language pack for
SM), but Software Center came up with "Dependency is not satisfiable",
I tried to overcome this with Edit -> Software Sources -> Other Software
-> Add but got stuck not finding an acceptable APT line to add there.
Then I still have my above issues 4 and 5 unresolved. SM isn't detecting
my previously installed Adobe Flash Player.
So, sorry to say I've not made much progress getting my SM 2.23 up and
running properly on my Ubuntu 12.04.3, and grateful any further
suggestions.
Exalm.
