ezroller Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 I'm running the new rc3 version of mozilla and here is my problem. When I have a navigator winodw open, and try to run the mail app from another icon on my desktop, it pops the mozilla profile manager. how can I get it to stop doing this and just give me my damn mozilla mail?

tyme Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 i know there's an answer to this, and it has something to do with the fact that mozilla won't let you use one profile for two sessions (which I never understood) but I can't remember how to turn it off....did you take a peak in the options related to the profile manager and see if there was anything in there that might do it? there was a previous thread related to this, but i can't seem to pinpoint it. :?

bvc Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Sorry, but I can't help but ask......if you have a navigator window open, why are you using an icon on the desktop instead of the icon in the components bar?....this would at least solve the plob....if it's to run it in another virtual desktop, then click the icon and quickly go to the desired desktop. :?: :?: :?: :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted June 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 an honest question. actually, the icon I'm clicking is the mailwatch thingy in gkrellm. I need to click it so it resets the remote message count. but it also tries to open the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 just click the envelope to the left of the mailbutton.....it'll reset the count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted June 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 bvc, I know I can set it like that, but I like it to also open up my mail application at the same time. Moz 1.3 never did this, and I am just looking for the way to get my old functionality back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted June 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 yinyeti: add the whole thing in place of the one line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezroller Posted June 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 This is the function that contains that. Its at the end, but part of something else. when I replace this, I get errors: Code: # If you are not using ddd, gdb and know of a way to convey the arguments # over to the prog then add that here- Gagan Saksena 03/15/00 case `basename $debugger` in gdb) echo "$debugger $prog -x /tmp/mozargs$$" $debugger "$prog" -x /tmp/mozargs$$ exitcode=$? ;; ddd) echo "$debugger --debugger "gdb -x /tmp/mozargs$$" $prog" $debugger --debugger "gdb -x /tmp/mozargs$$" "$prog" exitcode=$? ;; *) echo "$debugger $prog ${1+"$@"}" $debugger "$prog" ${1+"$@"} exitcode=$? ;; esac /bin/rm /tmp/mozargs$$ else echo "Could not find a debugger on your system." fi } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Indeed, this is not the right place in the file to do the replacement. Can you tell me what is for you the result of commands like those: bash-2.05b$ which mozilla /usr/bin/mozilla bash-2.05b$ ls -l /usr/bin/mozilla -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6379 mar 14 00:49 /usr/bin/mozilla* If the result if a file, can you send it to me? If it is a link, send the pointed to file instead (of course), and give me the name of the pointed to file. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted July 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I get this: [pwolfe1@Source pwolfe1]$ which mozilla which: no mozilla in (/usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/pwolfe1/bin) [pwolfe1@Source pwolfe1]$ but that is because i have mozilla installed to /opt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezroller Posted July 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 do you just want me to send you my /opt/mozilla/mozilla file? cuz that is where it is located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 ezroller, try this and see if it works for you --- see if you can execute this from your icon or rather, gkrellm: if `mozilla -remote "ping()"`; then mozilla -remote "xfeDoCommand(openInbox)"; else mozilla -mail; fi The same thing should work for a browser (I've thrown Google in, just for an address): if `mozilla -remote "ping()"`; then mozilla -remote "openurl(www.google.com,new-window)"; else mozilla; fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
