Hello, I installt minimal Ubuntu,
and then XBMC with fluxbox with this script: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=55282

But now, I am trying to run firefox.

I left XBMC with ALT+STRG+F2, then I installed firefox with aptget.
But when I start with

Code:

firefox

I get the Error

Code:

Error: no display specified

OK, I try to

Code:

firefox --display=0

-->

Code:

Error: cannot open display: 0

when I try

Code:

startx

I get the error:

Code:

Fatal server error:
Server us already active for display 0.......

Anybody knows, how to start firefox throw fluxbox from commandline?

[queeup]

DISPLAY=:0 firefox

[Frozone]

DISPLAY=:0 firefox

-->
acept the code, but can´t see anything.
Doesn´t change to fluxbox?

mm, isn't xbmc already running on display 0? I guess you should switch back or better leave it up and type the command over ssh instead.

OK.
I wanted to try it, but now. my HTPC doesn´t start. It stays in the XBMC splash screen.

And when I look to alt+strg+F1

Code:

kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot...

shit
Edittrg+alt+delte skipt this and started then. But I have to do this now everytime :-( and now none of my server is runing. No ssh and no samba, no webmin.

Maybe it would be easier for you to run xbmc in a full ubuntu installation where you can do this in a GUI instead of struggling with the technical stuff.

BTW:

kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot.

I think it always says that...

I thought about this, but will only try if firefox works. Later then start it in XBMC. I want to keep the system as small as possible.

after this kinit comes:

Code:

Checking drive Data (/dev/sdb1): 61%

etc... and takes long time. after 10min, still hasn´t boot.

[vikjon0]

He does what he says...checking the disks. Wait for better times. Which will probably arrive at 100%

Yes, I waited this time to end. And after it the next reboot was fast, like normal.
thx. Patience isn´t my best character


Now firefox starts on Display.
But see only a message box: "Firefox session closed unexpec......" on top of XBMC
I can choose between "start new sasion" and "restore" like normal in firefox.
But can´t control this. My mouse and keyboard are still working in XBMC. How can I change to firefox there now?


OK, with alt+tab I can change to Firefox. But it runs only in the left corner of the screen. Really small.

make sure firefox is fullscreen. there's also a plugin for that. then go and check your video settings in xbmc. should be "1920 x 1080 x 60Hz" or similar. Had similar problems when choosing auto, 1080 etc.

Started it today again, and was in fullscreen. Thx to all.

utorrent as well worked this way.

Now I have to start firefox from XBMC, I guess Application Luncher is the way to go.

How did you solved the font size problem in fluxbox? right now, when i starts firefox from xbmc launcher the fonts are huge...

regards,

[furchtlos76]

You can add some DPI Setting in xorg.conf under Screen section thats what i did to get firefox menu and fonts normal sized. But i still have the Problem that firefox only starts with a screen size in the left upper corner and not fullscreen. Any idea?
