OpenSUSE :: Why Is Firefox 3.6 Not In The Update Repo
Feb 2, 2010
Do we need another repository with the sole purpose of upgrading firefox to a new security level?This should be added to the opensuse update repo and picked up automatically by the update applet...
when I launch Yast2 - Online Update, I get an error during the repository refresh that it could refresh the repository.Since it's easier to copy-paste - here is the output from 'zypper ref' with the same error:
Code: Retrieving repository 'Updates for openSUSE 11.3 11.3-1.82' metadata [|] Failed to download ./repodata/cefcc9d56264aa169f70a53c560ffc39cb6af575-deltainfo.xml.gz
from http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3/ A[code]...
What is the official status of Firefox 3.6 in openSUSE? I've been hearing a lot about a critical security error and that it might also be a FUD, but I haven't heard about any progress. I'm just wondering who could be taking a look or who is in charge of the openSUSE repo that will have it and how is the progress in uploading FF 3.6?
Some times ago i add Tumbleweed repo to my Open Suse 11.3 64bit system & try to update. On every update with kernel by zypper up it make output like this
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.
YaST-->Software-->Online Update Getting error: There was an error in the repository initialization. 'repo-non-oss': Failed to cache repo (139). History: - repo2solv.sh "/var/cache/zypp/raw/repo-non-oss" > "/var/cache/zypp/solv/repo-non-oss/solv"

If I disable the repo-non-oss repository the update works fine. The URL I have for the repo-non-oss repository is:
Index of /distribution/11.0/repo/non-oss
This has been going on for over a week. Do I need to use a different URL for the non-oss repository? I live in New York, United States.
I wasn't paying proper attention when adding a repo to yast and need to find the file were the info is saved to delete this. The problem is that whenever i use yast it comes up with an error code saying that it can't find the data for the 'problem' repo. Have tried zypper rm but that comes up with a similar error advising that the data is in a format that was not expected. My thinking is to track the file were the yast repo source details are saved, delete this and then just add the repos that i use back.
will firefox 3.6 be made available as an update? If not is there anything special I need to know before installing it myself i.e. will flash still work?
On my Windows xp computer, when i open Firefox 3.6.3 and go into the preferences I can click "update" and firefox can check for updates and download and install them all from inside the browser.I have Firefox 3.6.3 on Opensuse 11.2, and in the firefox preferences in the 'update' section there is no way to download or install updates.Is it impossible for Firefox to update and install by from inside firefox in OpenSuse?Do we need to use the command line or Yast or one click installs to install software on opensuse? Can't Firefox update from inside Firefox without yast or command line?
Firefox checks spelling in text areas, which is good. However, the dictionary it uses is global and dictionary changes do not reflect across text areas. When your chosen spelling dictionary is Polish and you enter text in English into box#1 and then into box#2, and then you decide to review your spelling, you can change the active dictionary to English. However, this will affect the spelling of box#2 only, which is good because box#1 might actually be in Polish. So you go back to box#1 and change the dictionary to English? Nope; the dictionary is English already so choosing English has no effect and the words are still marked as incorrect!
What you need:
A frame with two text areas, e.g. Bugzilla.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Set the spelling dictionary to Polish. 2. Enter "damaged " into box#1. 3. Enter "damaged " into box#2. 4. While in box#2, choose the English spelling dictionary. 5. Return to box#1. 6. Append text "damaged " (once more).
New to Suse. Have been driving Zorin, where all updates can happen at once. Have been trying to update Firefox (3.5.10) to new ver and Yast doesn't seem to be aware of it. Do I need to compile? My Zorin package (Ubuntu variant) sees each Firefox and everything else update and installs or gives me option. What do I need to do in Suse to get up to ver 3.6.8, and why isn't Yast aware?
I'm running Opensuse 3 on an EEE PC, and so far had no problems. I brought it to another house today and now Firefox seems to be unable to connect to the network.. Network is working however, as Skype is running fine. Online update won't work either.
I am using: Firefox 3.6.14 from buildservice. 3.6.13 from buildservice did work flawlessly. System 11.1 KDE3.5 release 21.13.1
Error message when starting from terminal:
Code: user@linux-2c5j:~> firefox
Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.2.14 and 1.9.2.14. What I have tried: deinstallation of mozilla and reinstall. Does not change anything.
I have openSuse11.4 x64 and FireFox 6.0. Is there a way to update Java to latest version. Guides given on Java website doesn't work, tutorials found on Google also don't work. I updated to 6u22 but thats it. Firefox founds only 6u22.
Some time ago I did an automatic update and after that firefox, thunderbird and yast2 don't start. It's not that there is an error message or sth. Their icons just start jumping and after a while it stops without anything opened. I tried even removing the zilla directories and so on but it doesn't help. Of course I tried to simply reboot the machine and strangely enough, still does not work. Opera works though and I am ok with that, however yast2 not opening is more annoying. I do all the stuff that I want from the console, but of course that's not the point
Others are ignored too, but ppa.launchpad.net is the only one I care about. I've tried a few different mirrors with the same result. I'm able to ping ppa.launchpad.net just fine, and am not experiencing any other network weirdness.
I'm staying with 11.1 (sic) because it works well enough, so what a pleasant surprise to find an update to Firefox 3.5 waiting for me inside YaST, I'd have expected only updates to 3.0.
Tofirst automatic software update was launched on my newly installed openSUSE 11.2 - and apparently it replaced Firefox 3.6.4 with 3.5.9.I tried to find out how to install 3.6.4 using YaST2, but adding the following repository didn't help me any further:Index of /repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2What do I need to do to have YaST2 install the latest firefox version?
I updated Firefox today via Yast, since this time it doesn't show any page.I choosed in Configuration no proxy.The sites are empty, nothing just white.I also tried a downgrade to the previous version, didn't help.The Firewall I deactivated for test in Yast, too.A new profile didn't help, starting as administrator either not.
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?
(Beginner)Just installed openSUZE 11.1 Dual boot with Vista. I can set up my wireless settings, wep, etc and it says it connects just fine. But when I try to USE the internet it doesn't work. Nothing in update, nothing in firefox. It says it is connected but it's acting like something is blocking it.
My ISP is blocking medibuntu.org so that hasn't been updated on my machines since the end of April. I can still access it via proxy sites so is it possible to download certain files and place them on the right spots in my Ubuntu installation and have it tell me if something is out of date or not?
I've been having problems installing httpd (in that it cannot be found when I do a Yum search). I get this error when running yum: Bad id for repo: CentOS5 base, byte = 7 Bad id for repo: CentOS5 updates, byte = 7
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?
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.
