somes strange problems : permission

freenet · 07-12-2003, 02:30 AM

I use synaptic in order to install all my packages from cdrom.
I also installed eci-driver for my adsl modem. the connexion works well but I can navigate as user ! Netscape and mozilla refuse to launch when I am on user account. what's is wrong ?

Thanks for help

What are the permissions on the mozilla binary? try to chmod it 755

the permissions for netscape and mozilla binary are 755.

Try running it from a terminal and see if you get any messages.

when I launch mozilla from terminal, a window "confirm migration" opens, I create a profile but I cannot confirm at end!
Then I try netscape :

bash-2.05b$ netscape
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/netscape
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/netscape:/usr/lib/netscape/Cool
LIBPATH=/usr/lib/netscape:/usr/lib/netscape/Cool
SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib/netscape:/usr/lib/netscape/Cool
XPCS_HOME=/usr/lib/netscape/Cool
MOZ_PROGRAM=/usr/lib/netscape/netscape-bin
MOZ_TOOLKIT=
moz_debug=0
moz_debugger=
bash-2.05b$

as you can see it auto-closes.

Backup your ~/.mozilla directory, rm -rf ~/.mozilla, then try restarting mozilla. If it works, you can copy your original preferences to your new default directory.
