Other Help Topics :: gtk2-0705/Firefox-gtk2-1.04

Hello y'all,

I just recently filled my usb-stick with DSL 1.5. Works great (my stick used to be filled with DSL 0.84)

I added firefox-gtk2-1.04.DSL , gtk2-0705.DSL and JRE1_5_0.tar.gz

Now i noticed that (sometimes?) i have to rerun gtk2-0705.dsl from within Linux and select <upgrade to GTK2> from the fluxbox menu, in order to get firefox running (again).

Is there somthing that i am missing (in filetool.lst perhaps?)

Patrick,

firefox-gtk2-1.04.dsl needs to run with gtk2. You can try firefox-gtk1.2-1.0.4.tar.gz in Net area, if you don't want gtk2.

I don't think that answers his question =o)

When you say "sometimes", does this include times within a single session, or only after a reboot? Maybe you'll need to rename the extensions so that gtk2 is loaded first (maybe...just a guess).

renaming the dsl's doesn't change the order in which they are loaded.. (i tried AGTK*.dsl and Bfirefox*.dsl and i tried 1GTK*.dsl 2FIRE*.ds.. doesn't change the order..)

I noticed that when i am in X(free86), GTK*.dsl hasn't done its thing (no entry in the fluxbox-menu: update to GTK). When i (then) manually load gtk*.dsl (in emelfm as user:dsl) THEN i can run firefox.

Add the line: /usr/bin/start_gtk2 &
to your .xinitrc file. This will do what the menu option does when X starts up. It works for me.
