  1. Moonlight?

    in Everything Linux

    Posted

    Reiver, he means he's not desperate to resort to using Windows version of Firefox in wine and that he'd wait to run it natively in the Linux version. I don't know about you, but wine for me is a last resort if there's no native version and that I must resort to Windows apps in wine before taking the worst step and actually having to run Windows itself if it never worked in wine! All boils down to Windows, and hence why not desperate :)

     

    Correct.

    I still have a Windows OS for a few apps that I have paid for in the past but I don't let it access the internet.

    If you look at my profile you will see that I joined this forum in 2006.

    First I had XP and Mandrake V 9. Followed by V 10 then Mandriva 2008 spring.

    When I built this machine I decided to leave MS and stick with Mandriva.

    I won't go back. ;)

    OK! I've installed the Moonlight plugin from that link. It is version 1.01.

    I have installed the media codecs for moonlight from microsoft.

     

    But when I try the Sky player I am still prompted to install Silverlight V 2.0.

     

    :wall:

    I'm not sure what you mean by “Suse, Fedora and Ubunto are the only systems supported.� It works fine for me using Mandriva 2009.0, it's simply a firefox plugin that you install using the instructions in that link. Then you install the Windows codecs package using that plugin.

     

    Hi Greg, I was repeating what I had read on this link:

    http://www.mono-project.com/MoonlightSupportedPlatforms

     

    As you say it works for you then I will give it a go.

    Thanks.

  7. Update nag (Solved)

    Posted · Edited by newdog

    Thanks guys,

    I followed Cannonfodder's suggestion and downloaded the file. (I got it from rpmfind.net)

    First I tried installing it with the gui software installer.

    A fter a reboot the nag was still there.

    Then as su in a console I moved it to /var/tmp and installed it as per tux's code.

    After a reboot it has been over an hour now and not a sign of a nag.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. :D :D

     

    Now if I could figure how to mark this thread title as 'Solved' I would do it. ;)

    Another option is to add the offending program to the skip.list file. Edit the /etc/urpmi/skip.list file. File itself shows example of how to do this. Leave off the # symbol. The # symbol is used for comments.

    Thanks for that David, I didn't know about the skip list. I'll keep that in mind.

    Can you not right-click on the icon and select something along the lines of don't run at startup?

    Hi daniewicz,

    If I unticked "Always launch at startup" wouldn't that stop all notifications?

    I may have to resort to that if it doesn't stop.

    try to run the following command in a console as root user:

     

    urpmi --replacepkgs libxulrunner1.9

     

    Hi Tux99,

    This is what I get:

    [bob@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost bob]# urpmi --replacepkgs libxulrunner1.9
found package(s) libxulrunner1.9-1.9.0.3-1mdv2009.0.i586, libxulrunner1.9-1.9.0.7-0.1mdv2009.0.i586, libxulrunner1.9-1.9.0.6-0.1mdv2009.0.i586 in urpmi db, but none are installed

    As you see it says "None are installed".

    Yet when I follow the update nag, details says:

    Version: 1.9.0.7-0.1mdv2009.0

    Do you think that urpmi is looking in the wrong place?

    Update update.png keeps nagging me to update 'libxulrunner1.9'

    I have ok'd it several times but after downloading and installation it still insists that I should update it.

    It pops up repeatedly.

    How can I curb this persistent nagging?

  14. Updating by user not Root

    in Software

    Posted

    Hi,

    I get the little info popup stating "Warning! Updates are available for your system."

    and when I click on it I get "QUERY You are attempting to run "mandrivaupdate" which requires administrative privileges, but more information is needed in order to do so"

    "Authenticating as 'myusername'"

    It doesn't ask for the ROOT password.

     

    Is this how 2009.0 does it? It seems wrong.
