Can someone list the steps for installing mozilla into knoppmyth.

Is there a way to place a button from within knoppmyth to start mozilla?

Thanks

ps. this is all I found while searching:

apt-get update
apt-get mozilla

well you are close
apt-get update
apt-get install mozilla-firefox

as for the button not easily, but if you really want to there are several threads about how to add buttons to the menus for various things.

Can you install Mozilla on Knoppmyth? I ran the apt-get install command and was scared off by all the packages that were going to be installed. So it is safe to install it?

Hopefully,

I haven't used a release version of knoppmyth in quite a while, but mozilla-firefox didn't use to require any packages that caused any issue even warnings if you just did apt-get install mozilla-firefox.

It is perfectly safe as far as I can tell. I installed both the Mozilla suite and just Firefox. They both work fine (and Myth still does also).

Nearly any program that you install using apt-get will have a bunch of dependencies that will be installed or updated. apt takes care of dependencies which is why you use it in the first place.

Yes I installed mozilla on my mythtv box and works like a charm.

Can someone point me toward making a button from within knoppmyth that takes me into mozilla?? Can seem to find that post from prior posts.

Thanks

I have mozilla running from the menu...I have installed WebCalendar. I have a button that launches mozilla (firefox actually) with my calendar url.

add to /usr/share/mythtv/mainmenu.xml


the script has only one line:


you can loose the URL portion.

Thanks for the info on the mozilla button. but where does the script go. Do both codes you posted go to the same file "/sur/share/mythtv/mainmenu.xml" ??

That's the script-------------------^

The second line of code goes into that file. And avoid a common newbie mistake, don't forget to make the script executable.
You can name the script anything you want, and place it anywhere you want. Like for example: /home/mythtv/runmybrowser.sh

thanks dude. You're the man!!

Question:

What if I don't have web calendar installed?

Like khrusher said, lose the url portion, just make it something like: firefox -height 295 -width 210 &

I have seen some undesirable behavior. If firefox is running, say 'behind' the mythfrontend adn I select the button. I am presented with a 'Firefox - Choose User Profile' dialog...I suspect that with a little digging a firefox command line may avoid this.

I havent bothered digging for it. I have my X env configured to allow <alt><tab>'ing through open windows (ala, MS windows). not sure it this is the default, or something I did. So, if I get the dialog, I know I can <alt><tab> to the running instance.

Go Pats!
