The items added to the Porteus Internet menu are Firefox and Firefox Profile Manager. I clicked on the Firefox one and I am posting this with Firefox 41.0.2.

It might be wise to indicate that Firefox should be shutdown before running this.

-update-

The new version lacks the flash player plugin and probably the Jave one too. Yet the two .xzm modules are still active.

[tome]

Open about:plugins site in Firefox. Probably your plugins are in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and they should be in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. You should make symlink like for java oracle (do you remember this trick?).

[Ed_P]

You should make symlink like for java oracle (do you remember this trick?).

I assume you are referring to this posting: httphas://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=3332&start=15#p31426

The two plugins that I use, Flash Player and Jave, work with the 38.1.1 version of FireFox so I have to assume the symlinks are in place. The Flash Player module is from Alien via USM, the Java module is from the Java Builder module.

[tome]

Type about:plugins in address bar and see available plugins, close all Firefox windows and launch firefox profile mode, create and try new profile.

[Ed_P]

^ FireFox 38.1.1 has many plugins including the Flash and Java ones. FireFox 41.0.2 has just one. Creating a new profile and rebuilding a new FireFox profile is overkill and not required when activating a USM version of FireFox.

Actually that appears to have worked!! 41.0.2 now has the Flash Player & Java plugins plus a VLC one.

Thank you.

You should tweak the autd script to include it.

@Ed_P

Firefox version to be installed: 41.0.2.
Firefox version currently installed: 41.0.2

is useless because version to be installed and current version should be always the same. In your case firefox should check for updates and download them in the background without any need of action from you, like Windows updates. Check your settings, type in address-bar: about:preferences#advanced and open Update tab. Probably for your old profile you must change something.

LOL!! I totally misunderstood the function of your script. I thought it was a way to manually upgrade Firefox periodically not that the Firefox it created would do it automatically.

But, in my defense, the lines you noted are useful for people using your script the 1st time, like I was. And since it only needs to be run once, what with Firefox auto update function enabled, the information is useful. imo

Do with my changes what you will.

Hi Ed_P,

Thank you for your feedback. Had to change the 'where' value -- too many drives w/various distros; I'm a slave to gparted. (grin)

Did switching the wget command (from http to https) break the certificate check? I didn't have that issue and am curious why. I remembered to quit Firefox only -after- the script started. Could running Firefox have overcome/prevented the certificate check issue?

I edited menu entries and quick launch icon to execute 'firefox-autd2'.

Your post [ Re: Firefox always up to date (autd) - i686 & x86_64 (Post by Ed_P #32506) ] included the following:

Code: Select all

    -- snip! --
    Generating Desktop Files...
    Building the module.
    >>> Could not create destination file: Read-only file system <<<

    DONE

Could this have been a permissions setting issue? I didn't see that msg.

I did see the '/tmp: Scheme missing' msg, and I'm unclear what that means.

I really like your addition of:

Code: Select all

if [ `whoami` != "root" ]; then
  ktsuss "$0 $1"
  exit
fi

I need to read the ktsuss man page; that looks handy for another project. Thank you!

Now I realize running v2.1 is likely why 'FOLDER=porteus${VERSION:9:3}' (and maybe other parts) didn't work for me.

Funny thing -- I included the comment about renaming to not overwrite original work, but just noticed I had already edited the 'latest_version' setting to use tail instead of head (I kept getting 41.0.1 instead of 41.0.2). I wonder about me at times...

Is there a reason to manually activate firefox-links.xzm? It's activated in the next to last line of the script (line 132 here). I probably should get more sleep than I do. And work without a cat on top of me. (grin)

I was so very glad to find this. I hope it can be helpful for others. Now, if only sound could work. For some reason that has been an issue with every version of Porteus, regardless of hardware. I love Porteus, but for now I need to boot back into LinuxMint and get some other work done.

Maybe when I get back to Porteus, I'll get sound working. Maybe by then I'll have blkid-based script to minimize my 'too many drives' issue. (grin)

Thanks again for your feedback!

PS - I don't run Flash, and only selective Java. If a website requires Flash, I go elsewhere. I've never seen any good reason to trust Adobe.

[tb01]

Updated first post, thanks tb01 for your stuff, nice to read you. Maybe you want to see flashplayer script and update it http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 538#p35528 :beer:

151031-200323

Hi tome,

Thank you for your feedback, and your thanks -- glad to help in any way I can. Thank you also, so very much, for starting this project! With Firefox updating fast and furious, this is *such* a great idea.

Thanks also for link to flashplayer script, but I don't run Adobe (b/c I don't trust 'em!). That script should still be useful to me in keeping gnash updated, as well as helping me learn to write better scripts. I don't know when I'll work on a gnash-update script, as I only use gnash rarely. But if I come up with something viable, or if I run into problems (<---most likely), I'll post back on that. (smile)

Off topic #1, how do you generate concise links to individual posts? (eg, http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=2022&p=35538#p35528 -vs- http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?p=35528&sid=0b225566ecea222ef097a0cce46a1ea5#p35528)

Off topic #2, why do older forum pages show post date different than current? (eg, by tome » 26 Jul 2015, 17:06 -vs- by tome » Jul 2015, 17:06) Well, that's really odd. It's actually displaying day-of-month now -- maybe that was off before I logged in to reply? Me really confuserated... (grin)

I really have enjoyed playing with Porteus. I love that it's small, tight and fast, particularly in RAM. I'm still having issues that prevent me using it full-time (sound, settings), but resolving those will require me posting in other areas, and frankly, it's easier for now to run a heavier distro to get things done.

BTW, I -too- was initially unaware this script was a 'going forward' solution to keeping Firefox updated, and a very elegant one at that! I'd seen the 'decompress, change out files, recompress' fix in other modularized distros, but every time I tried to do that manually, it -always- blew up in my face, and frustrated me so much in troubleshooting what blew up where, and finding just how to fix it, that I'd load another LiveCD and go to town on -that- for a while.

Still, I thoroughly appreciate -everyone's- efforts, in these scripts and in developing Porteus itself. I feel so very fortunate to use an open-source operating system which actually does what I want it to (mostly), and that I can customize, and it does -more- of what I want it to! I just wish I hadn't wasted twenty-eight *extremely frustrated* years of my life with that 'other' closed-source crapware! Long live Linux!

PS - Thanks for the :beer:, but I'm allergic. Liquor works, though! Cheers!

A little investigation revealed the time format snafu was my own doing. In my User Control Panel, Board Preferences, Global Settings, I had used Linux date() formatting where the forum requires PHP formatting. Before I had logged in, display showed day of month. Fixed it. Hope I didn't trouble anyone.
