I am using Wheezy LXDE amd64 and I want to remove Iceweasel and install the real Firefox. Now according to this page - URL... Firefox is only there for Ubuntu and Opensuse officially by Mozilla. But since Ubuntu is based on Debian will the firefox for Ubuntu work for Debian ?Also since I am completely new to Linux I need to know how to do the following -:
How to check the dependencies given on URL.... and if necessary update them. For example what are the commands for checking if I have GTK+2.18 or higher and if necessary update that.after extracting Firefox do I need to create any symbolic links ? If so what are they ?Can I install plugins like Adobe Flash Player and update Firefox easily ?
i am using ubuntu 9.10 on a x386 machine, have libasound 2 installed & updated, cannot install realplayer 11 because is says Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libasound2 (>> 1.0.22). likei said, libasound is installed & updated according to synaptics.

I've been using Epiphany web browser, and I really like it.But now I'm trying to fill out an online application and it says that my browser is not supported.It says that Firefox is ok, but I can't seem to install it. I just searched Firefox in Synaptic, but nothing relevant comes up. Is it a big deal to install firefox in debian?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm new to Debian and Linux. I downloaded the archive from mozilla for Forefox 4 and it was placed in the "Downloads" folder. I decompressed the file which created a Firefox folder with all the files. How do I get this in the package manager (Synaptic) so that everyone that uses this machine can use the browser? I can't figure out how to get it to install.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using 32 bit (i686) Debian Lenny. The multimedia repo is installed, w32codecs is installed, VLC and Kaffeine are both installed. I was trying to listen to some audio files on the NPR site (link will follow) and find that I can't open the files with anything I have installed. The Linux version of the Realplayer isn't in the repo (and I don't really want to install it after some of the things I've read about it) but I gotta have my NPR and there's no way I'll EVER go back to a M$ OS. How can I listen to these files without downloading them and then uploading them to a media conversion site? I'm usually very good with google but this one has me stumped.

For my desktop use, I wanted to keep my office suite and web browser updated while continuing to run Debian stable as my base. Here is how to install the latest Firefox and Libreoffice packages on Squeeze. Download Firefox 4 here. Then as root:
Code:
mv firefox*.tar.bz2 /opt
cd /opt
tar -xvjf firefox*.tar.bz2
ln -s /opt/firefox /usr/local/firefox4
ln -s /usr/local/firefox4/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox4
rm firefox*.tar.bz2
[Code].....
It will install Libreoffice in /opt and the packages will show up in Synaptic Package Manager under "Local". The installation automatically creates menu entries in Gnome for Libreoffice applications. I've had no problems thus far using the latest Libreoffice 3.2.2 and Firefox 4. Hope this is helpful for anyone else wanting to install.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have been using Lucid Lynx for almost 2 weeks and have got everything working, thanks to the "ubuntu" spirit in this forum. Now I am ready to upgrade my Wubi install to its separate partition. I have searched the forum and googled to find a way to do this, but I am still stuck.
I used lvpm (despite knowing that there is no confirmation of its working on Lucid Lynx), it didn't work. The installation happened alright but it wasn't able to show up the login screen (GDM?). It was stuck around the screen before that (Xsplash?).
There is this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438591 that explains this process very well but remains silent on Lucid Lynx version.
I am sure there must be many other first timers who wanted to get their feet wet the easy way using wubi and would like to make it "permament" OS on their computers.
Is there anyone who can suggest if :
1. There is any way I can still use lvpm to transfer wubi install to separate installation (Ubuntu 10.04 release) ?
2. Any other way I can do this ??
I'm thinking of designing a software that may need to change the current user to a normal user if run as root. But from what i've read, you can still switch back to root if you were root in the first place (meaning, the real UID is 0). I'd like to make this impossible. I think the solution is forking but i'd like you to confirm this.
My question is, does the real UID of the children is the effective UID of the parent at the time the fork is done? My manual lists what's inherited from the parent but doesn't states this. I'd like an answer about Linux kernel and about Unices in general (i'd like to make it at least POSIX-portable)
about VIP (Virtual IP) and real IP address used for load balancing. How they work and how to configure real IP.
View 1 Replies View Relatedknow of a way in Linux to have a virtual ethernet (e.g., eth0:1) appear as a "real" ethernet (eth1)? I ask because I have an old Shuttle box that only has one mobo ethernet and no way to add more. I'd like to use it in my Oracle RAC lab, but RAC requires two physical ethernets. You can't fool it with eth0 and eth0:1. RAC won't setup correctly if there's only one eth adapter, so I'm wondering if there is a way to fake two ethernets. I do not care about performance or reliability - it's my home lab. I fully realize that this violates every principle of HA, but I'm just using it to study. Worst case, I can get a USB dongle ethernet adapter, but I'd prefer to avoid the cost if possible.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got the following problem:
1. I start two bash windows
2. In one of them I start a script test1:
Code:
This script puts a natural number 5 times a second.
3. Then in the second bash window I type (as root):
Code:
The script test2 looks as follows:
Code:
While true; do
true;
done
During the following 15 seconds test2 is the process with the highest real-time priority. As far as I know the script doesn't perform any system calls so it shouldn't be suspended even for a minimal timeslice. My question is: why the process test1 manages to put a few numbers on the screen before test2 stops. I thought that test2 would exclusivly own the processor for 15 seconds.
I have to write one Shell script where i have to find one word in current generated log.Log name has specific format like 'NAME_DDMMYY_HHMMSS'.log.Each time i have to go and check the word in newly generated log.How can i pass the newly generated log name in my Script?
