Mozilla question
For all of you Mozilla Application Suite users out there...
I cannot get the .pdf plugin working through my Mozilla Suite. I really don't consider it a big deal, because my Konquerer .pdf view works just fine. However, I get tired of having to save .pdf files and then re-open them with Konquerer (or, in the alternative, copying the web address of the .pdf file into the Konquerer Browser). When I click on a .pdf file and Mozilla asks me what to do with it, I would like to have Mozilla open it with Konquerer. The thing is, I don't know which path the Konquerer browser is in on my system. It must be something like usr/local/...etc. Can anyone tell me what the path is to this browser? Also, the same question with Mplayer. Mplayer now works just fine as a stand-alone program, but I cannot get the browser plug-in working. I just want to set up Mozilla to open multimedia files with Mplayer stand-alone. What is the file path to Mplayer? Can anyone help me out here? Thanks :confused: |
Open a console and type
Code:
locate konqueror |
When I type that into Konsole, it tells me:
"bash: locate: command not found" Am I doing something wrong? Thanks:confused: |
Not sure if this will work but you could try puting a short cut on your desk top and telling ti to use that. Just a thought. weird that you Mozilla won't do pdf. I don't know if I have tryed (off the top of my head anyway) I will have to give it a shot as soon as my new power supply comes in. Good Luck

What you need to do is configure mozilla to use kghostview or kpdf as a helper application for your .pdfs. This way if you click on a link to .pdfs, then the application you configured will automatically open and display the file. You may also try looking for an acrobat reader for Linux plugin.

If anyone knows the standard path to Kghostview, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks |
What disro are you using, can you put it in your profile coz it helps give more accurate answers? In a console, do
$whereis kghostview a path will be printed out and thats what you need to enter in Mozilla. |
Using SuSE 9.0 Pro. I usually remember to include that in posts, but I forgot this time.
Thanks |
In Suse, kde applications are located in /opt/kde3/bin (or something similar).

If you don't have locate, then this should work (for executables):
Code:
whereis konqueror |
