Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron (1 Viewer)

Man FF3 is horrible with the SR_Grey skin.

Why is that? I've been using the grey skin because the black one is hard on my eyes. But then, I have bad eyes.

Oh I am using grey also. That stupid bug that we've been talking about is what I was referring to.

I also have found that when using the grey skin that I'm unable to use my mouse to insert the focus/cursor in a previous line (for editing purposes).

So far, I've found that FF2 works fine, and that FF3 works poorly with the grey skin (which is the one I prefer).

I really hope some other Ubuntu 8.04 users with FF3 experience my problems. I'm having major issues entering replies into the 'quick reply' box too.

I know you said you did the upgrade to Hardy, but do you have an extra hard drive to try a fresh install and see if that fixes it?

Has anyone had luck installing the w32codecs package? I do have the medibuntu repository enabled.

tim@timbo:~$ sudo apt-get install w32codecs

I was able to add the medibuntu repository and install them just now (on w32).

Here's what I added:

deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ hardy free non-free

and I had a successful install. I followed the instructions here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

As for that earlier FF3 problem I switched the to standard editor instead of the WYSIWYG one (as suggested by Andrus the other day) and have had ZERO issues. All is well now.

 

[Buickman]

Thanks for the link. Well, duh, it might help if I install W64codecs rather than w32codecs since I'm running amd64.

 

[Buickman]

Do any of you enable the pre-release updates in the repos?

 

[llama]

I don't on my running system, but I usually get jumpy and try out the development version in VirtualBox (as soon as it will install) and enable them there.

Did you check your samba file? I have the Samsung ML2151N and it works fine.
