Applications / Latest Firefox?
2012.08.09, 21:24:37
What/Where is the latest Firefox for eCS.  The Mozilla site lists Windows, Linux, MAC Android, no eCS.

eCS 2.1 installs Firefox 3.5.3

But I'm having lots of hangs with this version.

Well, I downloaded libc605 and installed.

Then I ran the odininst.exe.

Than rebooted.

Now about:plugins shows stuff and youtube screens work.

I'll try other videos, but it looks like it's working.

Thanks everybody who helped.

about:plugins says "no plugins installed"
Never knew about "about:"

http://ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0_6_5-csd5.wpi
gives "Server not found"

I'll try to find libc-065 and install,

Then I'll make sure in run the system32.exe
Thanks,

Yes, npflos2.dll is in the Moz_PLUG directory with the dates you gave.

I don't know what you mean by  "URL about:plugins"

eCS 2.1.

Trying to install Flash Preview 2

I installed odin 8.3 using Warpin from odin32bin-20110710-release.wpi.

Then I downloaded and unzipped odin 8.5.

I copied the dlls from 8.5 to \odin\system32 manually.

Then I ran gcc4core-1_2_1.wpi

Then I ran libc-0.6.4-csd4.wpi

Then I ran flash_ecs_beta2-release.exe and rebooted.

I look in SET MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH=C:\PROGRAMS\MOZ_PLUG and npswf2.dll.flash5 is there.I think that means that the install ran.  Opening in details mode, I see npswf32.dll with date 2-08-2012.

But now when I open a browser,  I get message

Please install Adobe Flash Player <http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/> 9 or higher in order to view this module.

Do I have to do something OTHER than run flash_ecs_beta2-release.exe?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the help - it worked.

But I'm not sure what happened - the Warpin install created an object in the Startup folder called

eCUPS Daemon

This calls program CMD.exe  with parameters

/c Detach E:\CUPS\sbin\cupsd.exe

Is this startup object wrong?  How should I fix it so that it starts automatically?

Thanks,

eCS 2.0 Silver
eCUPS003.wpi from Feb 08, 2010
Installed on Drive E Root

I just took the install defaults
After wpi install, it tries to open the browser (Firefox v 2..0.22) with

http://localhost:631/

I get error
==================================================
! Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:631
===================================================

I shut down and rebooted - got the same error.

I tried another machine eCS RC5 - same result.

What am I doing wring?

How do you get youtube to work with eCS?

I'd like to see an expansion of "shared memory" available to users.  I'd like to see settings in CONFIG.SYS which can set the limits on shared memory.

My Object Rexx programs (as well as Chuck McGinnes's eCS maintenance Tool) crashes with SYS3175 in Rexx.dll.  I think it's because of shared memory limitations.

Getting VT to work on eCS is wonderful news!  I remind everybody that if you use VisProRexx to develop software, every VisPro Object (Button, Entry Field, Container, Entry Field, ...) is AUTOMATICALLY Voice-Type-enabled.  Just speak the button caption and it CLICKS THE BUTTON. 

Speak the Entry field caption and the focus goes to that field.  It is wonderful.  Almost NO TRAINING is required.

I would be willing to help anyone with VisPro Rexx development.

I can send you zip files of VisPro REXX and VisPro Reports - both excellent packages - both installable under eCS.

I strongly recommend VisPro over VX-Rexx because VisPro Objects are pure SOM objects - VX-Rexx Objects are not.
