Guest josetann Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Ok, I installed Crossover Plugin 1.3.1 and the quicktime, windows media player, and shockwave plugins (and tested, they all work fine). However I now notice when I click on a download link, nothing happens. Right-clicking and choosing save link target as doesn't work either. Right now I'm having to right-click, copy link location, open a terminal, and do a wget on the file. The only thing I did to the mozilla install besides crossover, was edit the pluggerrc file to comment out quicktime (then touch the plugger.so file per the codeweavers instructions). Any ideas?

Guest josetann Posted December 11, 2002 Report Share Posted December 11, 2002 Well I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling mozilla, everything seems to be working now. I hope this doesn't happen again, during my tinkering I lost all my bookmarks and other settings :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rsd Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 You did, eh? Well, be proactive => backup. I usually make a copy of the whole user directory under .mozilla somewhere on my repository partition (actually a separate big HD), once a while. I also make a backup of the whole user directory, before upgrading (usually clean install), and then get only files that I need from the backup.

You should always backup unless you don't mind losing what you have :wink: That is good advice. But it seems odd that you lost your mozilla profile. When i have upgraded my profile always remains, i have never reinstalled though. Have you looked through the /home/your_username/.mozilla directory mozilla may have created another profile for you, your bookmarks are kept in a file called bookmarks.html(i know it's amazing :P ).

Guest josetann Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 I thought something in the .mozilla directory might be messing it up so I copied it to .mozilla.bak then deleted .mozilla. Still didn't work. But when I restored the .mozilla.bak directory, it seems it was actually an old backup I made, shortly after I installed Mandrake 9. Luckily I've found the links I really wanted, but now have a new problem so I'll have to make a new post :) By the time I get everything running just the way I want, MDK 9.1 will be out.
