Mozilla Problems on Debian-Alpha
Hello all,
First of all thanks to everyone who contributes to Debian Alpha. I still find
it bewildering that there is so much support and help available for open
source in general and have yet to work out how I can contribute something
back to the community with my limited knowledge of things geeky.
I did a bog-standard install of Debian Woody on a dual processor, Digital
Alpha 5305. At the installer prompt I declined to use the package selectors
because I wanted a dist-upgrade to testing. After the dist-upgrade I set
apt.conf to unstable and "apt-got" kde 3.1.
I ran apt-get install mozilla which worked fine, I set the sound wrapper to
none in debconf, because I haven't installed a sound card. When I try to run
Mozilla from the kde panel the little icon does it's flicker stuff and then
disappears without Moz loading up. Normally when I run into an app that does
this, I just run it from a terminal and work out what to do from the error
messages that ensue. But Moz doesn't give me an error message even if run
from the shell. It just doesn't load. So I don't really know what to do or
what's gone wrong. Is there an error log I should check or does anybody know
if there's something else I should've done? Any comments or help is much
appreciated.
Kind regards,
Rob Thyssen
