Debian :: Upstream Firefox4 Package In /home/ Can't Find Plugins
May 5, 2011
I'm trying to use Debian Stable with some newer upstream packages. I've got the upstream Firefox tarball unbacked in /home/firefox/. The problem is that it can't find any plugins, flash or anything else. It's the 64 bit binary but still needed some 32 bit libraries to run. Does it need 32 bit plugins?
Iceweasel is uninstalled and and I deleted it's ./mozilla/ directory. I tried creating a /home/.mozilla/plugins/ directory and symlinking plugins into that and pretty much any other conceivable path where it could be looking for them.
I run upstream firefox from /home/ in the past and had no problems.

Although I use the system's default version of Firefox (v3.6), I wanted to give the Firefox4 beta a test drive, so I downloaded it from Mozilla and extracted it into my ~/bin directory. However it seems that Firefox4 is not able to pick-up the plugins installed for the system version. All the plugins currently installed for Firefox3.6 are in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, with a couple of symlinks to other places, so I can't figure out why the beta is not able to find them. I thought /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ was a standard directory for Firefox plugins on Linux.
I also tried copying one plugin (Flash) file from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and to ~/bin/firefox/plugins/, but still Firefox4 is not finding it. Aboutlugins is blank, as is the plugins tab of the Add-on manager.I'm using the same profile for both Firefox3.6 and Firefox4. Is this fine, or should I create a separate profile for use with the beta version?
P.S. For what it's worth, my system is a 64-bit one, running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10.

Hardware: Notebook
OS: Debian 6.0.1, installed very recently
goal: access vista windows shares in my home network
What would keep changing the domain to "lan" in network settings on my Debian notebook? I've tried launching network-admin from a root terminal, made changes, but after rebooting it reverts back to "lan". Perhaps it's irrelevant, but maybe it's the reason I can't see any other PCs when I try to browse the network.
Installed samba, but that seems more for setting up a share, than trying to access existing shares. At any rate, it did not solve anything.
Weird though, because immediately after I installed Debian, I was able to browse the network successfully. I've only installed zsnes and debian updates since then. I also installed the Broadcom firmware/driver needed for wireless today, but my network browsing problem existed prior to that.

I need a particular include file. I know the file name. I don't know which package would install it. apt-cache seems to only search names and descriptions. dpkg -S seems to only search through installed packages. I need to find a package that's not yet installed. I probably just missed the option in the man page... or I don't know which program to man.

I want to find a way to stream my home movies online, so that I can watch them anywhere. I want it to have a way to see all the movies I am streaming and just click on the one I want to play. It cannot be in flash format because of quality reasons. I'd rather it be able to support xvid or divx if possible because of its compression ratio. If not the movie would have to be no more then 1.4gbs a movie and still have good quality.
The closest thing I got to this was jinzora. I have also tried mediatomb (but I cannot figure out a way for vlc player to open the files without manually entering each link and I also cannot figure out a way for it to know at what point it is in the movie ex: 43:01/1:00:00). I am willing to use other formats if needed, but the size cannot be anymore then 1.4gb and still has to be good quality.

I'm installing xfce4-volumed-pulse 0.2.0-4. [URL] .....
Getting the error:
Code: Select allThe required package keybinder was not found on your system.
*** Please install keybinder (atleast version 0.2.2) or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
*** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that
*** pkg-config is able to find it.
I have installed everything available in the jessie repo with "keybinder" in the name. It seems like my path variable is configured correctly:
Code: Select allpkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config gives me:
Code: Select all/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
and (leaving out doc files and such) locate libkeybinder gives me
Code: Select all/usr/lib/libkeybinder.so.0
/usr/lib/libkeybinder.so.0.1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkeybinder-3.0.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkeybinder-3.0.so.0.0.0
So I can't figure out how to get keybinder recognized.

I'm using Ubuntu jaunty and was using old version of pidgin until today. Today I had decided to install newer version of Pidgin 2.7 and uninstalled my old version from system. Because it had so many problem like not login to yahoo account.
I went to Pidgin website and downloaded Debian package for ubuntu. But got an error while installing. Finally I decided to install it from source package and downloaded it to install. While I try to make configure file by typing
Code:
./configure
command, it gave me following error:
Code:
checking for update_panels in -lpanel... no
[Code]...
So I can not install Pidgin now. If I have to install it anyway I have to disable video and voice service for Pidgin. But I would like to use Pidgin with video and voice.

Up until recently I have had no problem playing all kinds of video in Ubuntu. I recently upgraded to Lucid and I can't remember if I was able to play videos after that, but yesterday I found that I am unable to play flv or MP4 videos in either totem or vlc. Converting them to ogv using ffmpeg allows them to play just fine, and I can edit the flv and mp4 in Avidemux, so there is nothing wrong with the files themselves. Not sure what I've done, can't seem to find a bug in launchpad for this, so I am assuming it is a problem with my setup somehow.

I'm trying to find some .deb packages for some experimental Compiz plugins, mainly the Headtracking plugin. I have tried compiling the plugin, but I have had no end of trouble doing so. Come to think of it, I don't think I have ever successfully compiled a piece of software in Linux. So, are there any .deb packages for this plugin?

I'm sure this is a painfully naive question, but I don't suppose it can possibly lower my reputationFor Good Reasons,use a custom build of the audio editor audacity rather than the version in the openSUSErepositories. What I can't seem to figure out is how to get it to find and load the LADSPA signal processing plug-ins. I have the regulation ladspa libraries (1.13-6.2) from the Oss repository installed. The files reside at /usr/lib64/ladspa . audacity is built with ladpsa support enabled, and indeed reports that it is enabled if I look at the Effects tab under preferences. I have even entered the ladspa library path in a "ladspa.conf" file under /etc/ld/so.conf.d, which may or may not help. Regardless, I don't seem to see the ladpsa effects listed when I run audacity
