But if you've come this far, why not just add the menu entry and the tray icon by hand? Only a few more clicks, right?

If you didn't uninstall your rpm then you'll still have the icons for the old version, but either way you can just add new icons for the new version.

Right you are, that is all I needed to do, thanks for the nudge.

I don't think you need to. If you have the install package from the Firefox website then just follow its install instructions.

Then open MCC and uninstall the rpm version of Firefox.

Best Solution ??? Just wait a few days and the rpm updated version will be available in MCC updates. :D :D :D .

 

 

Cheers. John.

The Firefox instructions do not really instruct. I can run the new version by clicking the firefox file in the extracted folder, but it is not linked to the menu and tray icons. Sounds like waiting for the rpm is best for me.

I can not figure out how to get it to install "over" old version.

Gowater,

Thanks for taking the time to write that excellent reply. Newbies like me really appreciate it.

I am using the gui smb4k which I think is part of the KDE, to mount shares on my XP pc's.

Type as root

modprobe snd-pcm-oss

 

Paste here

lsmod | grep snd

....Lex

I did this but still have no audio on You Tube.

[root@192 rik]# modprobe snd-pcm-oss

[root@192 rik]# lsmod | grep snd

snd_pcm_oss 48960 0

snd_pcm 79784 1 snd_pcm_oss

snd_timer 20548 1 snd_pcm

snd_page_alloc 8392 1 snd_pcm

snd_mixer_oss 16896 1 snd_pcm_oss

snd 46116 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss

soundcore 7008 3 snd,i810_audio

[root@192 rik]#

If problem returned write line to /etc/modprobe.preload

 

snd-pcm-oss

 

But You have problem with your sound card .....Lex

What does this mean?

I do not understand what to do. modprobe.preload is a file, how do I write to it?

No audio here.

 

Type in a root console

lsmod

Do you see a module "snd-pcm-oss" loaded?

I do not see it on the resulting list.

youtube is working fine on my end...version:

7.0.63.0

checked with this video - sound lagged a little, but that's it.

 

given, i'm not in mandriva, but flash is flash...or it should be anyways :P

No audio here.

Since I killed the KlamAV, I am OK on Google Videos, but no audio on You Tube.

Since their upgrade I guess we are "Left Behind".

It now appears that this being caused by KlamaAV. When I lanuch KlamAV, the problem returns. If I quit KlamaAV, and reboot the computer, the audio works on Google Videos. Meerly quitting KlamAV is not enough.

I have not changed anything, but tonight I went to Google Video and everything plays!

Go figure.

JZA,

Thanks for making me aware of this forum. I'm the guy with the problem.
