Problem in using Xfce4

m.parthiban · 07-22-2006, 08:56 PM

I am using Fedora core 3.I couldn't use Mozilla browser in Xfce4 session . It's working fine in Gnome session.

I am getting the following error message when i try to execute

"Failed to execute child process "Mozilla (no such file or directory) "

What's the Problem ?. how to resolve it ?.

One more question . How can i make Xfce is my default session (Currently Gnome) ?.

Thanks

Is it trying to find 'Mozilla' (with a capital M)? It's unlikely to exist, you may need to change it to 'mozilla'.

Sorry, it's my mistake . Error message showing "mozilla" only.

Open a terminal, then type "mozilla" and instead of ENTER, press tab-key once or twice. It will show you programs that start with mozilla name. Type then the full name. You are using the wrong command to start mozilla or it is not in your path.

If the tab-key thing does not work, try to locate mozilla with the "whereis mozilla" command- Ex:

Code:

$ whereis mozilla
mozilla: /usr/bin/mozilla /usr/lib/mozilla /usr/bin/X11/mozilla /usr/share/man/man1/mozilla.1.gz

I actually don't have mozilla installed. It is just a link to firefox... but give it a shot on your system ^_^;

I found the location of mozilla using 'whereis ' command . It is showing /usr/lib/mozilla but in that directory two mozilla directories are available

1.mozilla
2.mozilla-1.7.3

for which one i have to set path and how ?
