1.9.2: xulrunner_1.9.2b2pre-20091028132042_armel.deb trunk: xulrunner_1.9.3a1pre-20091028132213_armel.deb
For the n900, Al and I get stuck on the loading Fennec screen. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the 1.9.2 or trunk nightly builds page: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mobile-1.9.2/ or http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mobile-trunk/ 2. Download the xulrunner and fennec deb files 3. Install xulrunner and fennec via dpkg on the n900 and via the app manager on the n810. 4. Run Fennec
This seems to be due to the installation into /opt folder: * xulrunner is installed (via deb) to /opt/xulrunner*/ * a xulrunner registration file is installed (via deb) to /etc/gre.d/*.conf The registration file is used by Fennec (and any xul apps) to find a compatible GRE (xulrunner). The file has a path back to the xulrunner like this: [1.9.2b2pre] GRE_PATH=/opt/xulrunner-1.9.2b2pre xulrunner=true abi= If I change the GRE_PATH line to: GRE_PATH=/home/opt/xulrunner-1.9.2b2pre then I can launch Fennec. /opt is actually symlinked to /home/opt, so maybe we are not following the GRE_PATH as a symlink? More investigation continues...
I believe Fennec is starting up fine on the n810. It is for me, blassey and I think aakash.
Yep, it's starting up fine on my n810.
I am unable to get my n810 to work. I am installing via my people.mozilla.com/~jmaher repository. Aakash, are you using my repository, or installing via copying deb files?
I'm downloading the deb files from the nightly builds repository ( http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mobile-trunk/ )
New nightlies are available with /usr/local install locations. This seems to work for n900 and n810

Summary: Cannot start up Fennec 1.9.2 or Trunk nightly builds 10/28 → [N900] Cannot start up Fennec 1.9.2 or Trunk nightly builds 10/28 due to /opt installation
This is working on my n810 and n900 for 1.9.2 branch nightly builds on 11/2, but it's a no go (fail on start-up) for trunk nightly builds on 11/2. The bustage on trunk seems to be another issue from what mfinkle says.
