| Post subject: | mozilla and knoppmyth |
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, mikemcc11 |

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 Code: <type>CALENDAR</type> <text>Our Calendar</text> <action>EXEC /var/www/WebCalendar/RunCalendar.sh</action> </button> the script has only one line: Code: firefox -height 295 -width 210 http://192.168.1.50:8080/WebCalendar/month.php &
you can loose the URL portion. |

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. Code: chmod a+x /var/www/WebCalendar/RunCalendar.sh
You can name the script anything you want, and place it anywhere you want. Like for example: /home/mythtv/runmybrowser.sh |

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! |
