OpenSUSE Install :: Update The Various Libraries To Be Able To Get A Updated Version Of Firefox Installed?
Aug 10, 2010
I havent used Linux in a long time. I dug up an old copy of Suse (version8.2), and installed it on an old 599MHZ PC. Ive been trying to update the various libraries to be able to get a updated version of Firefox installed. Is there any chance that this can work? I need to know if Im wasting my time and should just put winxp on this PC. Also, I cant get any repositories working. I assume the default ones I have on the Suse installation are bad and the ones for the later versions will not work.
How can I make the security applet stop showing an update for firefox 3.5.9? I have a more recent version installed from mozilla repo: firefox 3.6. The mozilla repo already has a higher priority (95 instead of 99), so I don't know what to do.
Is there any way to update firefox to the latest stable version, like 3.6.x through the repos on OpenSUSE 11.2? And will it cause any problems if it can be done?
I am using CentOS 5.4. I updated my firefox to 3.6.7. After that when I login in facebook and click anything in facebook, my pc log out, even from root user. cause & solution of this problem.
bouncing icon and spinning icon in toolbar for 10-20 seconds, then nothing. Is there a special log file to be found for mozilla errors? (couldn't find anything useful in or near /var/log/messages or warnings all dependencies of associated programmes seem to fulfil dependencies, but obviously something isn't right. Does anyone else have the same problem?

The DST in Chile has changed due to the earthquake. I am using openSuSE 11.2, but my clock is using the pre-earthquake info.

How can I fix my timezone?

I want to install pgplot on my PC. My Pc is running an intel i7-860. I install Fedora13 (X86_64 version). there is no g77_gcc in fedora13, it has only gfortran_gcc. I have edited the 'g77_gcc.conf' by copying it to'local.conf' and change 'g77' into 'gfortran', and follow all the installation instructions of pgplot. For examle, I did: /usr/local/src/pgplot/makemake /usr/local/src/pgplot linux local.conf.
It seemly go through to the last step correctly, but the last step './pgdemo1' failed. It showes the same error message as other friends showed in 2008 in Fedora10: error while loading shared libraries: libpgplot.so: cannot open shared object file : No such file or directory
In fact it does exists, and if I do 'cp libpgplot.so /usr/local/lib', it showes that the file already exists. I overwrite it, no use at all.Still the same error message. In google I find an item to teach 'how to install pgplot in 'gfortran_gcc', I follow its instructions step by step, but at last, pgplot still does not work. I am an old man, not familiar with computer.

I'm running OS 11.2x64, Kde 4.3, and Sun Java (latest 64-bit from the repos), and there is one chat room using the Parachat software ParaChat Site that I cannot access in the Linux version of Firefox 3.6. The chat room loads, starts, then locks up in less than a couple of minutes so tight at times I have to kill the process. (Java is usually running about 50% CPU at this point, and will shut down on its own.) I can access the Parachat software in Windows XP (32-bit), Firefox 3.6, and latest Windows Sun Java and it works fine. I've tried running Firefox with a blank ".mozilla" file, and with my normal profile, and this particular chat room is the only one that won't work. I can get into others just fine.
I am installing opensuse 11.3 as a text-based web server. I have installed apache2, php, php-gd, php-pear and mysql... Now, I am trying to run the installwizard.php to install this LAMP app and any php file, seems to just download, instead of 'resolve to the screen' in the browser. When I run chkconfig, and see that apache and mysql are running. I have already restarted apache, and it seems to come up okay. I have created a test index.html file, and seems to be loading fine. I have googled for this, and it doesn't seem to happen to anyone else! when I try to yum install php, it says that version php5-5.3.2-1.31.i586 is already installed.
I am using yum, on the command line. Permissions are:
I have to get this workstation out onto shop floor, back into service, wondering if I put 11.2 in now then update to 11.3 while in service. It has 10.3 in it now.
I have done a update from openSuse11.2 to 11.3 .,(not new install,I did update install). Now at my PC home / partition after NEW INSTALL of SuSE 11.3 file system shwos 10.6 GB(space taken,busy),it's ok.But on my laptop where I did UPDATE INSTALL / file system has 25 GB(space taken,busy).
My question is how can I release 10 Gb form my laptop(we all fight for free space). The difference it's clear>making update takes more space comparing with new install. I am thinking that the system from my laptop kept old filesytems as backup or whatever.
The situation it's similar with the case when I did a kernel compile (taking more space),but in that case I knew how to do,of course I erased the old configuration files,old kernel,old boot files/vmlinuz etc) after checking the new one kernel and boot from it ,ok status. But in the update case I don't know what should I do,because it's the first time after manny years when I did a update ,not a new install(from scratch) and Suse 11.3 it 's after few days of releasing,and of course it can have some tricks.I assume that you did more updates install for OS than me .So I kindly ask you to advice me.Where shall I look and what shall I delete without affect the stability ,operatibilty ,boot of OS and security for my system existed on my laptop.Please,think 25 GB comparing with 10.6 GB. It's something,isn't it? I would like to have back my 10-12 GB in my hard disk as free space.

I use openSUSE 11.4 64 bits with KDE. For a specific reason (incompatibility with our internal revenue website) I'll have to downgrade to the latest stable FireFox version, 3.6 or something. I however do not know how to :
1. find this repository
2. when found, install it over my current 4.0.1 version.
How can I get an updated version of PHP on Ubunut8.04LTS? I think the version that is on it by default is php5.2.1 - I need to use 5.2.10 at least for a web based application I use. Is there a way to tell Ubuntu to use this version - I don't what to go to 10.04LTS as that has php5.3 I think. If I manually install php 5.2.10 it might get messy and will Ubuntu damage it when I run an apt-get update?
