Firefox 18.0 not works in Racy 5.3.90

#1 Post by hikohan »

firefox 18.0 && seamonkey 2.13.1 both starup fault with same
error messages as followed:

sh-3.00# mkdir ff18
sh-3.00# cd ff18
sh-3.00# tar jxf ../firefox-18.0.tar.bz2
sh-3.00# ls
firefox
sh-3.00# cd firefox/
sh-3.00# ./firefox
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /initrd/mnt/dev_save/tmp/ff18/firefox/libxpcom.so:
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libxul.so)
Couldn't load XPCOM.


sh-3.00# seamonkey --version
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.13.1/libxpcom.so:
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by /usr/lib/libxul.so)
Couldn't load XPCOM.
After update hunspell to 1.3 by source compile, but it seems
upgrade glibc version to 2.15 later is necessary.

Thanks for your notice on the post.

I can confirm this problem also happens in Saluki.

I was able to download firefox 17 and delete the 18 files and replace with 17's files. Make sure you do a backup of /root/.mozilla first so you keep your bookmarks etc.

18 does work in Lucid however.

See:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=202

Direct link to download glibc update:

http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/libc6/download

Perhaps you'll need update jwm, too. Work-in-progress.
It works but it is not so fast. I choose to mantain firefox 17.0.1.
For wary 5.3 I have compiled a jwm update:

glibc upgrade for firefox 18.0

#6 Post by hikohan »

wget http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... .14.20.pet

petget dpkg-deb-1.14.20.pet

wget http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... 4_i386.deb

dpkg-deb -x libc6_2.11.3-4_i386.deb /

ff18 works after above steps, SCIM also works.

but... After reboot, the firefox can't starup, so I excute concole mode then run:

# geany
Launching a SCIM daemon with Socket FrontEnd...
Loading simple Config module ...
Creating backend ...
Segmentation fault


# leafpad

(process:3790): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Launching a SCIM daemon with Socket FrontEnd...
Loading simple Config module ...
Creating backend ...
Segmentation fault

so I change my locale to C instead of zh_TW.UTF-8

# export LANG=C
# export LC_ALL=C

and run them again, ALL programs works, includes SCIM.

seems one more fix to go..... :wink:

:D Thanks for your kindness and help!! :D

Startup script includes SCIM in frontend mode.

#7 Post by hikohan »

before GTK file fix, append a SCIM startup script in Startup folder scim-load like:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

export LANG=C

export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
export XIM_PROGRAM="scim -d"
ls /tmp/scim-helper-manager-socket* &>/dev/null || /usr/bin/scim -d
 
scim &
SCIM run in C locale, interface is English. but all works almost
like before.

another way is set locale in C directly, but I need SCIM and chinese interface more.

Thanks for your notice on this thread!! :wink:

New Mozilla browser best choice in wary and racy

#8 Post by watchdog »

Report my testing. I have found that on my hardware (desktop AMD Sempron 512 Mb RAM integrated SIS graphics) and in wary 5.3 the best choice is to use Seamonkey 2.15.1 which doen't need glibc upgrade: it need only jwm upgrade with the pet above. Without jwm upgrade I have reproduced X crashes and possible corruption of savefile. Firefox 18.0 (probably 18.0.1, too) needs glibc upgrade.

firefox 18.0 runs smoothly with SCIM in PRECISE 5.4.3

#9 Post by hikohan »

I'd try PRECISE 5.4.3 for RACY 5.3.90 upgrade.

1. download PRECISE ISO then pick out files to HDD as usual.
2. copy saved SFS to PRECISE folder but name as 'precisesave.2fs'
(original file is racysave.2fs, 2fs or 3fs depends on yours.)
3. bootup and wait X displays as usual. but the SCIM not works.

Previously I wrote, set the locale to C and run a bootup
script make SCIM run as daemon mode works, but follow
steps make it eaiser as defualt SCIM default works.

in console prompt, type:
"localedef -i zh_TW -f UTF-8 zh_TW"

Append new locales to PRECISE. then everything works perfect
as RACY usual does.

Enjoy Puppy Linux!!!
