I get the same here :(

#3

Just download it from here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion

#4

Won't that leave us with firefox and shiretoko?

#5

huh, weird... haven't seen that happening - does that persist with multiple retries?

also, try the latest ubuntuzilla (4.7.0) and see if that helps haven't made any changes to this piece, but just in case. :)

#6

It's happening every time. Using 4.7.0 - Kubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu 9.10 are having the same error.

#7

graaant said: It's happening every time.

Using 4.7.0 - Kubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu 9.10 are having the same error.

is it possible that your download is getting corrupted? is the gpg signature check passing?

Doesn't seem to be getting that far, my last run shows this:

Seems to get further every now and then, can download the package, I see it go that far. Abvoe you can see that it didn't even get to the localization step.

Well, sorted problem now! I downloaded firefox-3.5.1.tar.bz2 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.5.1/releasenotes/ , which saved to my desktop

Opened terminal, ran 'sudo nautilus' , and dragged a copy of firefox-3.5.1.tar.bz2 to my tmp folder (if there's a file by the same name in there already, replace it).

ubuntuzilla.py -g now executed successfully! Must have been a permissions issue..

#10

That didn't work for me. Still bails out, at a seemingly random time, same error every time :(

hi first, there's no reason to be root to write to /tmp - just for next time :) second, is there a reason you run it with -g in the first place? checking gpg signature is an important archive integrity verification step...

is your network connection otherwise ok? if it bails at random times, seems like network irregularities to me...

#13

Network connection is fine and stable. I'm beggining to think this might have something to do with the python upgrades in Karmic?

hmm, don't know - i still run intrepid. if it is something to do with python, you could try running with "python2.5" instead of just "python". so, try something like:

python2.5 /usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py

and see if it's any different...

#15

Specifying python2.5 didn't seem to help. It spits the same errors every time, <module>, <start>, etc. I can't work out why though :(

gashman@grant-laptop:~$ python2.5 /usr/local/bin/ubuntuzilla.py

weird... maybe mozilla's site is doing something weird because you're coming from australia...

could you post the complete output of 


wget -c --tries=20 --read-timeout=60 --waitretry=10 -q -O - http://www.mozilla.com

by the way, if you just want to get mozilla build running and don't care about automatic update notifications and other extra frills of ubuntuzilla, you could try using this method of install: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/firefox

#17

Here's the output. Not sure if this is what I should be expecting. :S

that looks right to me... i have no idea why it's not working - i've been doing test runs here on my machine and everything goes through without a hitch...

#19

Hi nano, I had the same problem with my install. I am running Ubuntuzilla 7.1 with Ubuntu 8.0.4.

I had much the same error messages as posted earlier in this thread. What was different was that I also had a few messages about failing permissions to backup the cache files. I wasn't concerned because I have my browser set up to delete the cache every time I shut down.

Then I read your response in another thread where you told someone to change the permissions from root to user for the whole .mozilla directory, in order to fix another problem. So even though I didn't care about my cache files I tried it to see if it cleared up some of the error messages. Then Ubutuzilla installed perfectly. So you might want to include a line in the instructions about this.

Thanks for a great extension to Ubuntu.

Hi Thanks for your comment... I'll make a note of that in the faq :)
