RSSOwl internal browser problems!

Flasher · 2008-12-11 21:15:08

Hi!

After installing rssowl (from AUR) successfully and starting the main application I can't open a feed.
The navigation on the left side contains the Feeds, but after double-clicking no windows (internal browser window) opens.

I tried the following:
setenv MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME /usr/lib/firefox-3.0
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

but it didn't help. xulrunner is installed and I also installed swt for testing, but this wasn't the solution.

Does anybody have any an idea? I think it's a browser problem, but I can't fix it :-/

Best regards,

Flasher

Hi, same problem here. I think it's some eclipse problem. Hopefully some solution appear soon.

Anyone has a recomendation of another rss feed reader? I tried using liferea but it works too slow when openning feeds and updating and the windows hang up for some seconds before i can correctly view the feeds.

Hey, I'm the maintainer of the rssowl package in AUR. This is a known issue with the current stable release of rssowl. As soon as the next release becomes stable I will be updating the package for it. In the meantime, I posted an updated PKGBUILD in the comments section of the package that will allow you to install the current pre-alpha release. Among other things, this fixes the browser issue.

Here's a copy of the updated PKGBUILD:

# Contributor: Daniel J Griffiths <ghost1227@archlinux.us>

pkgname=rssowl
pkgver=2.0M9Pre1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A powerful java-based RSS reader (public preview)."

}

Remove rssowl aur package and hidden files (~.rssowl), reinstall rssowl aur package (via yaourt) but the problem still exists. Notice that the PKGBUILD of aur was exactly the same that you posted here. I'm started to think that maybe its related with the open Java jdk (openjdk6).

When i close rssowl appearently an error message appear but it closes itself soo fast that i can't read the content of the error.

Regards

EDIT: found this https://www.jfire.org/modules/phpwiki/i … serOnLinux
It says the problem its related to firefox 3 ands its incompatibilty with eclipse and swing internal browser stuff

the PKGBUILD is most certainly not the same... the version number and MD5SUMs are different
