	Galeon refusing to launch by Beartooth Sciurivore :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message On one of my Fedora 8 machines, Galeon kept showing only a cutout of the desktop I had just come to it from, and letting it sit while I used another machine didn't help. I finally closed it, and now it won't launch. There are no huge cruft files in .galeon. I ran 'yum remove galeon' followed by 'yum install galeon' -- the biggest hammer I know. No joy. Trying to launch it from gnome-terminal, I get this : [btth@topblack ~]$ galeon & [1] 16844 [btth@topblack ~]$ ps ax\|grep galeon 2788 ?

Well, I had an awful time finding an app that would open a .galeon bookmark file; and when that succeeded, I realized it was going to be a huge job looking for anything obviously wrong anywhere. But I remembered that I have plenty of other browsers, and Galeon isn't the one I keep my main stash in. So I started sending whole bookmark files to the trash. Eventually I had trashed them all -- and the result is still the same. Clicking the launcher in the drawer puts a little box on the panel which says (if you put the cursor over it) "Starting Galeon," or words to that effect. After a few seconds, the little box goes away. And that's the end of that. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Evangelist Fedora 8; Ubuntu 7.10; CentOS 5.1; Alpine 1.0, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6 Remember I know little (precious little!) of what I am talking about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I finally deleted all bookmark files I could find for Galeon, both in .galeon and in .mozilla; rebooted; immported my main stash from Opera into Konqueror; and re-imported them all from there to Galeon, which had indeed launched after the reboot. I'll have to reconstitute my last session -- or a new standard session -- as best I can; but I have Galeon again. Anybody knnow a way to guard against this happening again?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Evangelist Fedora 8; Ubuntu 7.10; CentOS 5.1; Alpine 1.0, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6 Remember I know little (precious little!) of what I am talking about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
