I have searched the menu and have not been able to find anything. I know my internet is working because MythWEB is working. Thanks! |

Ok, so I figure nothing is installed. I tried running Code: wget http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.5.0.6/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-1.5.0.6.tar.gz
but got a "no such directory or file error." What do I do? Sorry for the noob questions, I am not too good with the command line. |

Hi, I personnally prefer mozilla, as root : # apt-get update then # apt-get install mozilla (select auto for dsp) mozilla-thunderbird works very well for email also A simple way to access it is alt x then enter mozilla& as it only runs as user mythtv You can add a hot key to launch it. Since it runs on top of myth, you can loose focus, just alt tab to switch between myth or mozilla. If you decide to add anything else, do not allow it to upgrade packages, only install. Unless you want to hose your system.. Mike |

Ok. I tried this, and it said my Mozilla install was successful, but when I try mozilla& or mozilla &, I get a "Command not found." Thanks! |

Hi, Only thing I can see is you may not have installed as root. Users don't have the power to install system wide applications, You may have to use dpkg to remove and re-install it, however re-try using root first. Your sequence should have went... alt x to open a term window $ $ su - (enter super secret password) # # apt-get update # apt-get install mozilla answer audio question with auto after install is completed, do ctl d $ $ mozilla& $ $ = mythtv user # = root power It really isn't very hard to do.

You're right, it is not hard. I just didn't understand the whole root thing. I am very new to linux, and used to exe's/dmg's. |

Oh yeah, thanks for following though and helping me out! You make it easy to be new to Linux. |

Hi, One more little trick then, just to make life a bit easier
assuming you are doing alt x (user mythtv) $ nano -w add-keys #!/bin/sh # #adds mozilla to be alt w (web) echo "Mod1 w :ExecCommand mozilla" >> /etc/X11/fluxbox/keys press ctl x press y press enter (your first script?) Be very carefull to have two >> after you save it, as root, run the script, but only once. $ su - (super secret password) # sh /home/mythtv/add-keys # you are done so do ctl d twice, then do ctl alt backspace this will restart xserver and re-read the file to pick up the just added line. Wait for it to auto login (about a minute) Once myth has re-started & after any re-boot, just press alt w
One word of warning, IF you hit the -- minimize button, you have to esc to the desk top to unminimize it as it will go to the "task bar" location. Also the mouse has to be over the browser for focus. Yes, you could repeat the steps and add e-mail, mine is "alt e" & "alt s" tells me the time. Mike |
