Bookmarks properties invisible in Bookmark Editor (5 replies)

JujuLand — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 12:26:53 +0000

Under wine, the bookmark properties are not displayed, but can be modified in bookmark editor for KM 1.53, 1.54 and S201. We work like a blind man.

Have you noticed it ? Probably a K-Meleon bug.

JamesD — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 10:33:53 +0000

I am looking in the package manager for wine. I see the following items.

wine
wine 1.2
wine 1.2 dbg
wine 1.2 dev
wine 1.2 gecko
wine-dev
winefish
wine-gecko

How many of these items do I need to put a check by so that they will download and install? I just want to be able to try KM on my Linux box.

Off topic : Knoppix 6.2 DVD released (no replies)

Fred — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:26:53 +0000

After almost two years since the last DVD version 5.1
the live DVD Knoppix 6.2 has been released.
Version 6.1 was only available as an add-on to a
Linux magazine and could not be downloaded.
The Knoppix 6.2 DVD contains Gnome as well as KDE and
a great number of applications working with these
window managers. It is a show-case of Linux programs.
There is a script included to install the distro
on a USB stick of 4 or better more Gb.
There is also a Knoppix Live CD downloadable,
faster, but with fewer programs of course.
For more info go to distrowatch.com or to the English
branch of the Heise Forum, here :
[www.h-online.com]
or to the release announcement, here :
[www.knopper.net] .

There are also several other new distros, which follow
the half year release cycle downloadable now, as
Suse 11.2 , Fedora 12 , Ubuntu 9.10 Koala and its
derivatives Kubuntu and Xubuntu, Linux Mint 8 (RC),
Mandriva 2010, PC Linos 2009.2 , Mepis 8.0.12 ,
just to mention the biggest ones .
These distros come usually as Live CDs, and are installable,
if they become the first choice.

Variations using 1.9.1.x (2 replies)

Fred — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:08:23 +0000

There are two unofficial variations available that I made
to use Gecko 1.9.1.x in Linux with the wine emulator,
K-Meleon-F354 based on Firefox and K-Meleon-SM2pre based
on the new Seamonkey.

Download K-Meleon-F354 here :

Download K-MeleonSM2pre here :

Read the notes in the respective threads in Forum General.
Both variations are also usable in Windows.

K-Meleon 1.5.3 tests (1 reply)

JujuLand — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:49:42 +0000

As I was testing the non-unicode 1.53 version, since a long time without arriving to locate the bug which crashes K-Meleon, the wine developpers ask me some debug info to help debugging.

I asked to Dorian, and he send me some files, and I installed the unicode exe version to test it.

Incredible, this version seems not to crash anymore. My thoughts about the unicode problems were dated from 1.5.2 version, and I never test 1.5.3 unicode.

No crash when starting as 1.5.2, and it seems to be ok a long time. No crash since an hour about what was impossible with non-unicode version.

Another good new, the URL history gives no more error message and seems to work correctly.

I think it will be necessary to continue to test, but it a good new.

To test it, install 1.5.3 with setup for example, open then the setup with 7-zip and extract K-Meleon.exe (overwrite the non-unicode version, or rename it before), or instead of setup, use 7-Zip package.

Report here if it's ok for you.

I'm using wine 1.1.30 and Ubuntu 8.10

[edit]

Grrr... a crash just after the send of the post. It ought to be too nice ...

K-Meleon for Linux unofficial variations (3 replies)

Fred — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:42:05 +0000

Welcome to all Linux users !

The links to my unofficial variations that I use
in Linux with wine can be found on the page for
unofficial variations, here:

[kmeleon.sourceforge.net]

In addition there is a recent variation based on
the latest Firefox 3.5.3, which can be downloaded
from here :

[two.xthost.info]

Note that these variations are not native Linux
apps. They need the emulator wine installed in the
Linux distro, and some additional dlls, that are
mentioned in the variation notes. If you don't
have them, look for them in the Internet.

The official current version may also work for you,
sometimes some work-arounds will be necessary.
Don't expect that everything will work as in Windows,
but the necessary functions should work allright,
and the speed and versatility in Linux is better than of
some other browsers.

Regards and good luck for K-Meleon in Linux.

updated variation: K-Meleon-NX-18123 (2 replies)

Fred — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 18:53:07 +0000

I have uploaded a new updated unofficial no-Xul version :
K-Meleon-NX-18123 .
This is a simplified version of K-Meleon 1.x ,
usable in Linux together with wine , or also in Windows,
updated to Mozilla 1.8.1.24pre using Gecko/20090820,
from Seamonkey Nightly GRE.
Look and feel are similar to the earlier 0.9 versions.
The NX No-chrome concept is used here. Thanks to Hao Jiang and Dorian.
The browser is very fast, because Xul is not used.
Note :
This version works only if you have the files msvcp71.dll
and msvcr71.dll in your system or in your K-Meleon folder.
If you want to use Internet Explorer Favorites, mfc71.dll
would also be necessary (in Windows XP and Vista probably
all already in the system) .
If you need these dll's, look for them in the internet .
If necessary in Linux, copy the files manually to the K-Meleon main folder.
Compreg.dat and xpti.dat included to make it work in Vista.
Note : Flashblock, Aggreg8 and other extensions are not included in this
no-chrome version, and cannot be installed, because extensions need Xul.
Ad-blocking by userContent.css and hostperm.1 .
Many useful search engines have been added.
The profiles folder will be created inside the K-Meleon main folder by default.
If, when in Linux, you want this folder inside the wine configuration directory
because of property rights problems, rename the file profile.ini
inside the K-Meleon main folder to for example profile.ini-renamed
before the first start.
A javascript button has been included. After changing permissions
for javascript, reload the page.
History must be deleted manually.
