Firefox seems to corrupt once Nucore is installed
Posted: Thu Dec 30, 2010 6:20 am
Two problems encountered during installation.
First issue - successfully put my system together and installed Ubuntu. The Firefox icon at the top of the desktop displays ok at this stage. Once the Nucore software from the disc is installed, the Firefox icon disappears and is replaced with a black square. Hover the mouse pointer over the icon and it still knows its Firefox by the description bubble that appears. However when trying to run Firefox I get the following error message displayed in an error box: -
ERROR
Could not launch application failed to execute child process "firefox" (no such file or directory).
For some strange reason this forum would not allow me to attach the installation log file or a txt file contain the installation log contents. So I have cut & pasted the info at the bottom of this message.
I managed to correct the Firefox problem by using the application upgrade option within Ubuntu and selecting to upgrade Firefox only. Once the upgrade was completed, the rest of installation as per the manual went smoothly. I have one more system to put together and install, if an explanation and remedy could be provided, I would much appreciate it.
Second issue - how do you access the Ubuntu desktop again after the installation/reboot?? When the system is started or rebooted, the emulator (Nucore) boots automatically. Press F1 and it dumps out to what I think is a Linux command screen similar to DOS (sorry first time experience with Linux, don't know any better). From here how do I access the Ubuntu desktop again?? If I type in the Nucore user and password it fails to load. I can supply the info displayed on the screen if that helps?
Thanks again for making this system available for all Pinball 2000 fans!
