I'm using Linux Mint Debian Edition. I see that the latest version of firefox is out and I would like to try it. Problem is, it probably wont show up in my package manager for a long, long time. So I thought I would try to manually install it. I downloaded it and untar'ed the zip fie correctly. Then I copied over my old firefox directory with this one. Didn't work. The old firefox was still getting loaded up. I've done some research and it looks like i have to create a link. I don't know how to do this.

a few days ago i set my FoxyProxy settings to tor. I needed it to make a few raid boards on 4chan and those can get you banned if you post.
So anyways, i go on this forum about a phone and i accidentally refreshed the page, but i haven't switched from proxy to my default settings and so all of a sudden a message appeared "Sorry, ###### you are banned from this forum."
I tried clearing cache, cookies and whatnot through firefox' options but still i get that message, i installed Midori for a quick test and it seems to work there (I'm not banned) but never on firefox, even rebooted and still nothing.
I really hate the ads with Midori as i use Adblock for firefox.
I don't like Firefox 4 and 5 so I uninstalled it and installed FF 3.6.19 manually in the /opt directory. It works really well. I wanted to add a java icedtea plugin to FF. But I can't use Synaptics. Synaptics does not see the FF 3.6.19 - it does not know it's there and will try an install FF5 if I use it to install that plugin - makes sense it would do that.
How do I get a java plugin installed considering how FF is implemented on my system?
I can download a deb installer for the plugin and use the archive manager to get manually get files out of it but what I've tried so far didn't work...
I was upgrading manually my ALSA to the latest version -1.0.23-, so after reboot I got several errors related to ALSA telling me that NO SOUND CARDS Found then the kernel activate the ACPI, the mysql and CUPS services and finally tries to connect to the network but after that the system is freezed, nothing else happens, I tried to Ctrl+C and reboot as "single user mode" and still nothing. so my questions are:
1. is there a way to log into the system? 2. is there a way to deactivate this driver on startup? 3. when I can login, how can I remove the failed alsa driver?
I have another linux distro running in the same HDD, so maybe I can do something for debian for that distro.
I have just acquired an eeepc. i know nothing about computers except how to download and install on windows. i need step by step directions for installing the up grade to the asus 900 pc. I have no problem downloading the upgrade but i am unable to install it.
To run my other linux distros on another drive I have been manually entering the kernel and initrid info for each distro on the opensuse yast boot loader. For windows 7 it just runs the mbr on the drive windows 7 is on. However I can not get it to do that on the other linux drive. The problem for me is that on every kernel upgrade I have to manually change the info. I would rather have grub on the sdd linux disk take care of it on the upgrades. The drive that holds the other linux versions is sdd. Opensuse is on sdc.
Downloaded the above file. Also downloaded and installed an update to my existing Firefox web browser, updating it from Version 2.0.0.7 to 2.0.0.11. As predicted, Firefox now has a new security and stability update labeled 3.6.9, which I will download at my earliest opportunity. Once that is done, I will try to install each upgrade as per the suggestions to date to upgrade my Mozilla Firefox web browser from version 2.0.0.11 to 3.6.9. My hardware: ASUS Eee PC 4G (701) My operating system: Linux - Debian Distro by Xandros
I would like a very basic instruction on how to update the firefox browser to the latest versio. I have downloaded firefox-5.0.1.tar.bz2to the desktop.
Due to some CD burning/reading problems with the laptop I'm installing to, the only install disk that I have been able to get to work is a MinimalCD disk.Unfortunately this only works if I don't ask it to install any extras at all, so I can install Ubuntu, but it is bare bones, and boots to a shell, no GUI or anything like that.What packages do I need to apt-get to bring this minimal install up to the standard Ubuntu install? Does anyone have a list of packages, or a site that will tell me which packages to install?
I recently upgraded (via Ubuntuzilla) to firefox 3.5.7 and now, every single time I close Firefox, the program seems to crash without quitting completely.
First, I receive an error saying that the program will not close and asks me if I want to Force Quite or Wait for it to close on its own. This has been happening ever since I upgraded to Karmic and if I just wait it usually quits fully after a couple seconds.
Now what happens is this: the window still closes, but if I try to reopen Firefox then I get this error stating that Firefox is already open and therefore cannot be opened again. The only way to get back into Firefox is to restart the entire computer. (Incidentally, this is the same problem that occurs whenever I try to Force Quit Firefox)
This now happens every single time I "close" Firefox.
Does anyone know the source of this error? Or a workaround?
The Network Manager on KDE gets DNS configuration from DHCP and sets it automatically, but I would like to use the Google Public DNS. If I overwrite /etc/resolv.conf with nameserver 8.8.8.8 it still resolves names with the old DNS (probably cached in memory) and, of course, even if it worked, it would be annoying having to do that every time I connect to a network.
I've noticed the Network Manager lets you specify a fixed DNS with the rest being taken from DHCP, but that's on a per network basis, and I would like to set it once for whichever network I connect to (if you're on the go with a laptop that becomes an issue).
A. I want to manually set the Window Clamp for my experiment.I came to know we can do that in net/ipv4/tcp_output.c::tcp_grow_window. I'm really confused with the flow. Even i tried in net/ipv4/tcp_output.c::tcp_select_window, but things are asusual.
B. Can I really improve the throughput by increasing the buffer space ? Do i have to go for netfileters or altering the existing data structure will do ?
I tried messing around with yast, but the farthest I could get was upgrading it from firefox 4 beta to firefox 4.1 or something (I just installed openSUSE 11.4). I was wondering if I'm missing something? I also clicked on yast, searched "firefox", then clicked "upgrade" but still nothing. Thanks and sorry if it's a dumb question.
For some reason, my kernel got uninstalled. I have only file called "initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64.bak" in my /boot folder. The only other thing is a 'grub' folder. I booted into a rescue OS, but is there a way to install a kernel manually so that I can boot into my original OS again? Can I just download a vmlinuz file into that folder and then fix my menu.lst?
yum install libstdc++-docs doesn't work for me:No package libstdc++-docs available.So, I can only install it myself.I've found the C++ man pages here, how can I install it?I guess just put it under /usr/share/man/man3 will do the job, but I'm not sure.
My AWSTATS is not updating correctly. Upon closer look I noticed that the access_log file is already >300MB. logrotate was not running. Now I have enabled log rotate. However, it's not touching this existing access_log file. Is there a way for me to manually split and rotate this file into 3 100MB files, access_log.1 access_log.2 and access_log.3? I tried running logrotate (logrotate /home/user/httpd/access_log) from console and it's throwing Segmentation fault.
loading /usr/bin/teclafsck failed. please repair manually and reboot. the root file system is currently mounted read-only. to remount it read-write do:bash# mount -n -0 remount,rw /attention: only control-d will reboot the system in this maintence mode shutdown or reboot will not work.
I'm not sure of the exact sequence of events, but I install git-daemon on Ibex. I believe this installs runit (??). When I boot, I get the Ubuntu splash screen come up, but about half way through it drops to the console with the message:
Loading the saved-state of the serial devices...
-runit: leave stage: /etc/runit/1 -runit: enter stage: /etc/runit/2
The computer just sits there without starting gdm. Virtual consoles still work, and I am able to startx from a different console. However, I don't have networking (ping doesn't connect to anything, for example), and Gnome complains about failing to initialise HAL.
I have now uninstalled runit, and can now get back to a useable system. I have the same problem and for the same reason, but I can't uninstall runit because I can't log in with, for example, tty1 in tex-mode, because it says that my password is incorrect (and, believe me, I didn't forget my pass, and it hasn't non-ASCII characters, so I don't know what is the problem). The only thing I can do is boot a live CD and do something from it, but the only solution I know is reinstall...
I would like to ask you how to mount audio cds in linux manually. Normally, when I insert disk into cd-rom, Gnome manages to open me a window with content of cd. Everything works ok, until I try to mount same cd through shell.
First error complaining about cd being read-only can be solved using -r arugment. But, second error wants me to specify filesystem, which I don't know of course. I heard that audio cds don't have any filesystem or something similar, but how is it possible to display it's content in Gnome?
I actually mean, I would like to be able to do same thing, but without desktop environment - only through shell.
