I took dove in and what should have been simple ended up being ....
Because of the round-about dependencies of mozilla-1.0.1, evolution-xx, and
plugger-4.07, I ended up having to rpm -e all of them. OK, not too painful.
However, rpm -e plugger looks like it is working and then rpm goes to sleep.
Evidently, rpm in RH 8 has got lots of problems. I kill -9 the process, rm -f
/var/lib/*_db_ to delete the rpm databases, and then rpm --rebuilddb. I
probablity have done that about a dozen times tonight until I chanced upon a
workaround.
For whatever reason, rpm -i or -e of plugger hangs corrupts my rpm databases
unless the --nodep option is used. So now I have,
[root@www root]# rpm -qa | grep -i plugger
plugger-4.0-17
[root@www root]# rpm -qa | grep -i mozilla
mozilla-nspr-1.2.1-0_rh8_xft
mozilla-1.2.1-0_rh8_xft
[root@www root]# rpm -qa | grep -i timi
timidity++-2.11.3-4
[root@www root]#
installed. Now the 3 test files give me music, but not the control panel (just
like you said above). Also, I have noticed that leaving the page or exiting
Mozilla does not always turn off the music. One has to kill the plugger and
timidity processes to turn it off.
It is difficult to understand why such an important tool as an internet
browser in todays environment acts as though it is in beta development.
I would be curious to know if your music always stops.
I put up a third test file too, http://www.mm-vanecek.com/card_embed3.html
just to make things even less complex.
Thank you for your help. I gotta go on the road for a few days. I guess I will
bang my head against this again later.
Regards, Mike.
PS: the 1.2.1 fonts are nice. Have you given any thought to going to 1.3a??
I'll wait on more stable versions of moz. While I enjoy the occasional software challenge, I don't enjoy it when trying to read my mail. :-)
Cheers--
Charles
