Hello,
Just as a warning (I found out "out of the blue" because there was no
I have read nothing about this nor have I seen it advertised anywhere and "by the
bad ”, with a bug in between), as of versions 17.x both
Firefox like Thunderbird (in its Mozilleras versions) can no longer be
install on systems with older versions of GTK + (such as the
wearing Lenny).You are warned ...
Regards,
With this email on the Debian mailing list in Spanish. I realized the news, I don't know how real or not ... but it seems to make sense given the fact that Debian Lenny has not been supported since February 6, 2012. It seems that Mozilla is going through a renovation these days where they are removing projects that do not have priority ...
In the same email they suggest GTK + 2 in Lenny to be able to install Firefox and Thunderbird:
- Add the following repo in the file «/etc/apt/sources.list ::deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-backports/20120324T214345Z/ lenny backports main
- Execute "apt-get update" and from synaptic select * only two
packages * to update: libgtk2.0-0 2.18.6-1 ~ bpo-50 + 1
gtk2-engines-pixbuf 2.18.6-1~bpo-50+1
Which is not highly recommended given the fact that soon Wheezy will be ready.
What do you think about it?
Although it is not directly on linux, but it stops supporting 64-bit windows, separates the development, the 64-bit browser for windows is going to be called differently.
No, this news is different ... The GTK + if it is from Linux .. Now it is used more than all GTK 3 The GTK + is something old already ..
Good for something there are the forks of firefox, google crhome, opera, etc, etc
chrome and opera are not firefox forks
firefox forks (comma) google chrome (comma) opera (comma), I know that chrome and opera are not firefox forks, commas exist for something. If I hadn't put (colon)
Lenny?
And if it no longer has support, who is it that uses it? : - /
I see more sensible to go to Squeeze.
I use Lenny amd64, and for now and as long as I can ... I will continue to use it. It's just that I can't, and I don't accept, lose Konqueror 3.xx I've been testing Konqueror on Wheezy, but no… it's much less powerful and versatile, there's no integrated search, with Gwenview integrated it is no longer possible to go from one to another image, in summary many shortcomings ... I hope that by the time Wheezy comes out, the TDE (Trinity Desktop Environment) repositories will be available, it would be the only alternative in sight for me.
