Patience is a virtue 

That should have worked - I'm using it right now to post.

Here are my steps.

1. in your home directory (I'll use /home/gordon in this example) create a directory where you want firefox - don't name it firefox, I'll use browser for this example
2. Download the Linux (Intel, 64-bit) version from the Desktop section in the link provided by jedi - download into the directory you created
3. Extract the file:

tar -xvjf firefox-31.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

4. change to the directory that has the firefox binary

cd /home/gordon/browser/firefox

5. run ./firefox as before - no need to be root - and the firefox nightly build should now start.

If you're the only user on your computer, you can set up your menus to use this firefox now, or create a symlink in a directory that is on your path.

If there are other users, adjust Step 1 so the directory or download isn't in your home directory, you'll probably need to use root permissions for that. Then create a symlink to a directory that is common to every users path.

For example:

sudo mkdir /opt/browser

download file to /home/gordon/downloads and copy to /opt/browser and extract it there. Once it's extracted, create a symlink to a common path directory:

sudo cp /home/gordon/downloads/firefox-31.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 /opt/browser/

sudo tar -xvjf /opt/browser/firefox-31.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

sudo ln -s /opt/browser/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox

Note that creating the browser directory is optional since extracting the file creates a firefox directory; you can copy the file directly to /opt then extract and make the symlink if you prefer.

And this thread has been totally highjacked so the discussion should probably move (be moved) to the help section.

Speaking of altered state of reality - pre Dark Side of the Moon;

In a terminal, cd to your newly extracted firefox directory. Try to run firefox from the command line -

./firefox

be sure to use the ./ so that the firefox binary in the new directory is called, otherwise the first instance of firefox on your PATH will execute.

Note if there are any error messages. You're using an alpha release so you may have some file version conflicts.

Well done. minimal is good

vsido + i3

         

@vastone - I was using Slackel (based on Slackware current) and kind of borked it myself. Was going to go ahead and install their sister distro Salix - both are solid distros if anyone wants to check out Slackware and have the convenience of gslapt (apt for slackware) - but went with my other solid distro of choice - VSIDO - so I'll have the same distro on both computers.

Looks like this computer may be losing a hard drive (sda = win7, sdb = shared data sdc = vsido) or Windows is going corrupt; showing it's age, I built it back in 2000/2001.

Yes, yes he is.

No real changes, mostly a drive-by posting:





Clean install of VSIDO - (messed up my Slackware install, went back to all debian/vsido for now - keeps things simpler)

You are correct; the cover protects the structural and load bearing portions of a wooden bridge from the elements.

I have got to get me one of these!

That works just fine. Thanks.
