Linux

?

Not dissimiliar from what I was imagining, but my imaginings were far less impressive.

Other projects could include using the CDs as a prism to project rainbow like graphics onto an outside wall, would possibly make an interesting decoration if made correctly.

All about recycling baby.

Could anyone give me some advice on how to get the windows version of firefox running under Wine please?

Why would you want to do that?

(I has no advice)

My new Garmin requires a plugin for either IE or Firefox in order to be able to provide the interface between the device and the Garmin Connect service.

This is, I acknowledge, retarded- but the linux varient of Firefox is not supported.

Therefore I need to load firefox into Wine, but Ubuntu is having none of it as the firefox.exe I downloaded is not signed- therefore Ubuntu says no.

You can install i.e on linux there is a wine setup for this.

Will I not have the same issue?

I have already installed Wine, and a copy of Firefox which the Garmin plugin should work with, the issue now is that the firefox.exe is unsigned and therefore not allowed to run.

No because but the setup for wine is already done with the package linked to so it's easy.

If you're set on ff use the application database. I've always used the applications database for setups tips.

Tried that, Ubuntu is still blocking it as being untrustworthy

Ubuntu sucks! There must be a way of installing it anyway?!

The file '/home/neil/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Firefox Setup 3.6.7.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

Is what it has to say when one tries to run the .exe

Looks like I will have to run a whole instance of XP in virtual box to make this work.

Arse.

"Is not marked as executable." I don't know much about wine, but does it want to treat firefox.exe as an executable in the linux filesystem?

what's ls -l firefox.exe say?

I don't know what you mean Mark- I know just enough about Linux to get myself into trouble!

can you get to the directory firefox.exe is stored in using terminal and do an "ls -l firefox.exe"?

I'm just wondering if Wine wants the file to have an "x" permission (which would be weird to me, but that error message is weird to me).

How do I navigate to that directory?

The exe is here: /home/neil/.wine/drive_c/Program Files

cd /home/neil/.wine/drive_c/Program Files

and it's actually

ls -l firefox*.exe

(just re-read the file name)

How do I navigate to that directory?

cd /home/neil/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/
chmod 766 Firefox\ Setup\ 3.6.7.exe

should do it.

^ that

bash: cd: /home/neil/.wine/drive_c/Program: No such file or directory

cd /home/neil/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/

chmod u+x *.exe

/drive_c/Program Files$

^after I did what Horatio wanted
