Lose the apostrophe and you're set >> firefox_3urls.sh

The script works with "private browsing mode" enabled.

I've made the change as above, but [when I click the "Browse" icon, or the menu entry, or cllick a URL link in Thunderbird] I only get 1 new Firefox window, not 3.

Restart X.

Sylvander · #324 Post by **Sylvander** » Fri 12 Jun 2015, 01:08

OK...
Having rebooted...
When I click [e.g. the Browse icon], I get 2 buttons on the taskbar, and 2 windows plus "something".
If I click to close that "something" window [a window with a tab and "x", that has no taskbar button, and no close/max/min controls at top-right], I'm left with 2 good windows [PC-Guide & Puppy Forums].
If I close these 2 windows and click the "Browse" icon, I get a single default window.

Any idea what's happening?

If this works from a terminal, let's see your script and desktop file one more time.

Code: Select all

firefox http://www.pcguide.com/vb/ http://puppy.b0x.me/psearch.html http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/

1. The firefox command in a terminal produces a default window.

2.
a. /root/my-applications/bin/firefox_3urls.sh has the following content:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
firefox http://www.pcguide.com/vb/ http://puppy.b0x.me/psearch.html http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/

b. The file is /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop.
Here is the present content:

Code: Select all

Did you ever delete your ~/.mozilla/firefox folder as was suggested a few posts back?

Semme wrote:Did you ever delete your ~/.mozilla/firefox folder as was suggested a few posts back?

I can't remember, but there were [a minute ago] two [old + new] in the /root/.mozilla folder, so I deleted both, and when I clicked the "Browse" icon a "new" Firefox window opened [2 tabs; 1 introducing Firefox, the other a default window], and /root/.mozilla/firefox folder was re-created.

2. Oops...
[Saved the session changes during the session and at shutdown/reboot], AND...
Having rebooted...
When I click the "Browse" icon a dialog reports "Your profile cannot be loaded, it may be missing or inaccessible".
There is no longer any /root/.mozilla/firefox folder.

Do I need to recreate it by unpacking the /mnt/home/00/Firefox-38.0.5/firefox-38.0.5.tar.bz2 file?
Going off to bed now.

Removing all FF folders in ~/.mozilla and re-firing the binary is in fact a clean install.

Having tested I can say a fresh launch by clicking the binary itself does indeed open those two tabs. If I then remove the new FF folder in ~/ and re-launch from a terminal with your url line, FF opens as it should.. With your sites in three tabs.

As for your session, just delete any FF's in ~/.mozilla. Don't reboot but fire the menu item again.

If the problem persists, confirm for me things we laid to rest are still gone.

And please, the output here >> echo $PATH

Sylvander · #330 Post by **Sylvander** » Fri 12 Jun 2015, 11:01

1. "re-firing the binary"
Which binary is that?
/usr/bin/firefox ?
If I use ROX to run this I get "Profile missing".

2. "just delete any FF's in ~/.mozilla. Don't reboot but fire the menu item again."
"FF's in ~/.mozilla" have been deleted, and...
I now get "Profile missing" when I "fire the menu item again".

3.

Code: Select all

# echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R7/bin:/root/my-applications/bin:/usr/games
#

This is what I was wanting you to confirm >> That "/root/my-applications/bin" was on your path.

==

Redo everything. I'll make it easy for you and anyone else trying to upgrade their Firefox.

==

Download the latest build from here. And yes, this method'll work for any prior build as well.

Click to extract, OK all, then choose /usr/lib as the destination and OK to execute.

Save this to /usr/share/applications and click to unpack.

Now run the script, then restart X.

Sylvander · #332 Post by **Sylvander** » Fri 12 Jun 2015, 15:00

1. "Redo everything"
Does this mean I need to remove stuff previously done?
So far I haven't done this.
To do this, do I unpack "remove-firefox_slacko-5.7.sh.gz" to produce "remove-firefox_slacko-5.7.sh" and run this to effect the removal?
If not, for what is "remove-firefox_slacko-5.7.sh.gz" to be used?

2. "Download the latest build from here."
Done.
I downloaded "firefox-38.0.5.tar.bz2" which appears to be identical to what I'd previously downloaded and unpacked/used.

3. "Click to extract, OK all, then choose /usr/lib as the destination and OK to execute."
This is essentially a repeat of what I'd done previously, and then deleted.
Hence, I now have "/usr/lib/firefox" back as before.

4. "Save this to /usr/share/applications and click to unpack."
Done.
This resulted in producing "/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop"
I'd previously renamed "/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop" to "/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop_old"->[not yet deleted this].

5. "Now run the script"
Which script is "the script"?
/root/my-applications/bin/firefox_3urls.sh ?
Or...
remove-firefox_slacko-5.7.sh ?

6. I'm still getting "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded" when I click on the menu entry or the "Browse" icon on the desktop.
I've temporarily re-configured "Thunderbird" so that it opens URL links using "Palemoon".
I'm using "Palemoon" to type these replies.

How about *I SHOW YOU HOW* it's done? Consider a time and pm me an invite..

Will do...
It may be tomorrow.
I already have Teamviewer-10.0.36281.sfs [never know when you might need it]
Never used it before.
Is it easy enough to use?
I've run other SFS files, so I know how to do that.

Semme · #335 Post by **Semme** » Fri 12 Jun 2015, 20:36

Provided everybody plays nice --easy.

You gimme your ID and passwd, I load your ID as my partner and wait for the passwd dialog.

If the connection flies, sit back and relax.

If I need you to step in, I'll open a chat dialog.

Otherwise, pay attention. I move fast and chat fast.

You can reply or cancel @ any time.

Because I can't check till later, rt-clk the SFS and confirm for us it loads.

Have you run Wine before? In a terminal type: htop >> followed by a forward slash "/" >> then: wine

Is it there?

I had a funny feeling it wasn't going to work for you.

Runs fine on my Slacko 5.7.

Try the one here.

Sylvander · #338 Post by **Sylvander** » Sat 13 Jun 2015, 14:38

1. I regularly/often run the winefile command, which works just fine.
Running "Menu->Utility->Wine Version" displays a window that says my version is 1.5.15.
Various other WINE menu entries work OK.

2. Used your provided link to download and install teamviewer-9.0.24147.pet, and it runs just fine.

So I guess I'm all ready to go.
So what's this about my ID and password?
Ah, I see the program provides me with ID and password numbers, and asks me to specify a personal password.
How big CAN it be?
How big should I choose to make it?
Should I make it as large and complex as possible, or can it be smaller for convenience?
Here's a HowTo.
I'm beginning at step-9 [previous steps seem to have been by-passed.
I guess you're the one how's doing steps 10 & 11.

Semme · #339 Post by **Semme** » Sat 13 Jun 2015, 16:15

Nevermind the personal passwd, you won't be needing it here.

You supply me your ID and passwd from the left, and I load those up on the right.

Another thing, like versions can interface. Ten can log into nine, but not nine into ten.

Your time's five hours ahead of mine. I should be around for @ least two hours from now, more later.

Make the date.

Once we get things ironed out, I'll letcha log into my ride, see what it's like.

Sylvander · #340 Post by **Sylvander** » Sat 13 Jun 2015, 19:06

Now that Teamviewer9 has been installed it appears that Teamviewer-10.0.36281.sfs loads and runs OK.
The Teamviewer window is on-screen, but how do I tell which version it is?

Do we speak using headset and mic?
Must my Teamviewer prog be running when you attempt to connect?
It's running right now at 20:09, and I'll leave it running.

Can we connect at my local time 21:00?
