I tested this pet on 421 on a p3 600 256MiB ram with no problem, co-existing with Firefox-3.5.4. It should not touch the installed seamonkey because that is installed to a version specific folder. Did you do anything else? More info is needed. I gather you want your old Seamonkey fixed?

Bonjour à tous,

How to get larger fonts in the toolbar?

See Here for menu fonts.

Bonjour à tous,

Thank you very much Trapster.
Done as i wanted, and it's OK.

Seconded, Trapster (and to Leon, too)--many thanks. I had no idea that option was available for Seamonkey.

Please Help w/ These SM 2.0 Missing Dependencies! Also I've got a Problem installing SeaMonkey 2.0 Pet w/ Missing Dependencies, ( as seen in attached ScreenShots ), As a Consequence of FireFox 3.15 being Soo Sllooowww,... being Updated from 3.03 Pet ( But having the Handy XMarks ( Formerly FoxMarks, ie. BookMark Synchronization ) Altho Nun of the Constant Crashing that Plagued it Previously ( Probably because of Missing Dependencies that I couldn't fix ironically Similar 2 this Mozilla SM 2.0 issue as well ), when I Switched Her to SeaMunky 1.18 that Me Wife was initially Resistant to, but she got used to, & then liked the relative Speed, altho alas No XMarks, altho I believe it's Possible 2 Hack ( Both being Mozilla Browsers & Sharing sum Common Code, but I've Just been Tooo Busy Myself 2 Tackle this Hacking Business ) Now She wants the SeaMunkey back! ). Which is where I am Now w/ these Dependency Dramas, is there a Pet 4 these Dependencies? ). Or Better still a Complete SeaMunky 2.0 SFS Package 4 the 2.6.30.5 Ke*nel ( Preferably Hopefully w/ X-Marks Add on eNabled ) Nb this Pertains to grays Puplet NOP 4.3.1 & I've Asked Over @ that Thread But Alas Not had any AckNowledgement on this issue yet 3 days latter
And I can Do w/out the Nagging " The Computer's Too Sloowww ", ( 3.2 GHz Pentium 4, 1 Gb RAMemory ) or " The interNet is Too Sloowww ", ( On BroadBand )
Please Help !!!

they are probably not "really" missing - just not in your LIB_PATH - they are probably in your /usr/lib/seamonkeyXXX directory

what is your actual problem?

steps to help figure it out:
try running seamonkey from the command line - What does it say?
go to the seamonkey directory and run ldd seamonkey-bin (check the "missing" libs against those in your seamonkey directory)

Thanx 4 Replying Promptly technosaurus, seems as U suggested it Runs calling it from the CommandLine w/Out Any Error Messages, But Yet there's No Menu eNtry? Needn't I be Concerned w/ the Puppy Dependency Checker Results ( Will these Cause it 2 be UnStable ? ) ? Also I Discovered the Old Original Seamonkey 1.1.18 in the given path /usr/lib/seamonkey, is it OK 2 Delete this since it's Not removable from the Puppy Package Manager or might I Break sumthing that Depends on it? I'm Still Working on Understanding this last bit... " go to the seamonkey directory and run ldd seamonkey-bin (check the "missing" libs against those in your seamonkey directory) " Thanx Again 4 Y'r Help

So I installed the package in Puppy 4.20 - it's there where it should be.
Like someone else, I got a bunch of errors about dependencies not being there.

Also, how do I start it. It's not in the menu, I have no clue how to start it from the command line.

Yup, a Linux noob here. I'd be using it more if installing a program would be easier....

n/t

no way to get a search bar in seamonkey 2.0 huh? like how opera and firefox has one integrated off to the side of the address bar...

Just type your search criteria into the normal Seamonkey 2 address bar and hit 'enter'. Provided you have set up a default search engine (Google by default I think), Seamonkey will return a list of results

open the terminal or the thing that looks like a TV and type this:

"seamonkey" without the quotes

Thanks but no.. That starts the old version (1.1.15)

Dear Puppians,

It is possible to get a Firefox-like search bar into Seamonkey2 (using the pet in question). I installed MonkeyMenu (an extension) and it does provide the expected search bar. I did this with some fiddling, however, and I can't remember exactly what I did. I probably unpacked the monkeymenu.xpi (it is a zip, after all), modified the RDF file to include seamonkey, repacked and installed it locally using "Mr. Tech's Toolkitl" (copied over from Firefox with changed RDF). Or something equally not-straightforward. I will try to reconstruct my actions and report back. Here is the monkeymenu xpi (archived).

With kind regards,
vovchik

I did this with some fiddling

Monkeymenu was an excellent addition to Puppy 4.2.1
Sadly it is not directly available for SeaMonkey 2
and your fiddling would be of interest to at least one Puppy (me)

Thanks Vovchik

.. and of course WhoDo loves his Monkeymenu..

Thanks for your work vovchik, much appreciated.

A Fresh Frugal install of NOP 4.31 r1 ( But Alas I'm having a Head Ache getting Compiz Fusion Going But that's a whole Different issue! ), Anyway Now Seamonkey 2.0 installs OK, But the Suckses Message Declares: Menu eNtry: Nun. Please How can I Create One, or @ Least a Desktop ShortCut, Beering in Mind This is XFCE, Thanx

in /usr/bin there should be a symlink to /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.0/seamonkey which executes the browser. It should run fine from a prompt. I don't know about xfce so that's all I can tell you. You could possibly drag that shortcut to the desktop and assign it an icon.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Thanx 01micko, that Did the Trick

That method should work for any Puppy if SM2 doesn't take over the menu entry or there is no SM.

Glad it works.

Cheers
