Firefox, vidalia, pypanel dysfunctional aft.upgrade- openssl incompat

here's what firefox looks like:

http://omploader.org/vNDN3cQ

:eek:

vidalia won't start and gives this error:

10:10 PM:~ $ vidalia: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

TTF fonts don't work in pypanel anymore, I had to switch to a bitmap font. I don't really care about that, I just thought it might be related. I have no idea why firefox is such a mess - possibly that is an ati/xorg issue?

this is i686 architecture, openssl is v. 1.0.0-2. Should I downgrade openssl back down to 0.9.8n to make vidalia, and possibly ffox compatible again, or is that likely to break some other things?

That would break a lot of things. For the time being, installing openssl-compatibility from AUR will solve your problem.

For a cleaner solution, you need to rebuild whatever packages that are linked to the openssl. AUR packages would be the first place I'd look at.

Oh shoot - I forgot vidalia was AUR. Thanks, that explains it. For FF, I'll try the openssl-compatibility version, thanks.

using that from aur is kinda stupid. just rebuild vidalie against new openssl.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks wonder - I just saw that thread. I suspected it might be an xorg/driver issue. I'll implement that fix tonight on my laptop, it's almost certainly the issue.
