scoopy Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 Anyone know the command to start up Mozilla Composer. I would like to make a separate menu item for it. tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 In a console, type something like mozilla --help It's going to help you .. :lol: .. well, I hope so. MOttS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilimanjaro Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 I am having the same problem with gnutella. I treid gtk-gnutella --help, but all it does is start the program. I also tried gtk-gnutella as the command and it doesn't do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted October 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Duh, of course, should of tried that but: [scoopy@localhost scoopy]$ cd /usr/local/mozilla [scoopy@localhost mozilla]$ mozilla --help bash: mozilla: command not found [scoopy@localhost mozilla]$ su Password: [root@localhost mozilla]# mozilla --help bash: mozilla: command not found Have tried a bit of searching on this too... with no luck.

kilimanjaro Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 I went to mandrake configure and uninstall software and searched for gtk-gnutella, and clicked on it and it shows where the files are located. /usr/bin/gtk-gnutella and that worked for my menu command.

scoopy Posted October 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 yes kilimanjaro, most apps simply use their name for the menu, plus maybe their full path to execute it. Composer is not working like this. For mozilla, I simply use this: '/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla' but with composer, I can start it with a konsole using: cd /usr/local/mozilla sh mozilla -editor This works, but still can't get the desktop icon to do this. I had a menu item for it at one time, but lost it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mousematt Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 For mozilla, I simply use this: '/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla' but with composer, I can start it with a konsole using: cd /usr/local/mozilla sh mozilla -editor This works, but still can't get the desktop icon to do this. I had a menu item for it at one time, but lost it somewhere. On my kde desktop i just create a link to application with /usr/local/mozilla -editor in the execute dialog and pick an icon. It works every time. You can also do that in GNOME the same way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted October 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Looks like this should work: '/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla -editor' but it doesn't. I get this error: KDEInit could not launch '/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla -editor' I can click on the run as another user option, but then it starts as root, and I don't think I want it that way.

scoopy Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Don't really know what was going on... but after several installs, uninstalls, and reinstalls, I think I got it under control. The new 1.5 package wasn't putting needed things where I needed them, so I ended up putting symlinks in for the flash plug in and a symlink in /usr/bin to point to the executable in /usr/local/mozilla. While doing all that, I installed the 1.4 version from the download cd's and found what it used for the "shortcuts" soundwrapper /usr/bin/mozilla and /usr/bin/mozilla -edit Which all work from the desktop now (I am still confused as to the original problem :? ) Probably could of avoided all this, if I would have settled for having my pref's tucked inside root's install folder, but no... I had to have my own user saving my own prefs in my home folder. :lol: Anyway, problem solved, thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
