New Install - web browser?

I just installed OEL6 on a VirtualBox. Itis running the desktop, but it seems there is no browser installed.
Is there some kind of package manage for OEL6? I'm coming from Windows, so not sure how to do this.
Cheers,
Daniel

Oracle Linux 6, like RHEL 6 seems to install a browser called Konqueror, which you should find in the Applications - Internet menu. The Globe icon in the menu bar point's to Firefox, which does not seem to be installed by default, although I think I selected the Gnome Desktop at install.
Anyway, Firefox if you prefer, is easy to install once you setup yum package manager. Oracle provides public yum access if you simply follow the instructions at http://public-yum.oracle.com Don't forget to edit the file enable the repository for OL6.
Then as root or user type: sudo yum install firefox

  • Create WebHelp asks to install web browser

    When I attempt to create a Web Help project in RH 6 I get a
    message that instructs me to install a web browser (Internet
    Explorer or Netscape). Obviously, I already have IE 7 installed as
    well as Firefox. I tried uninstalling RH and reinstalling it - same
    result. I'm not sure, but this may be the first time I have tried
    to generate a Web help project since upgrading to RH 6 from RH X5.
    This is a serious problem.

    Hi Bob
    I think the fix for this is pretty simple. You simply close
    RoboHelp, then configure Internet Explorer as your default browser
    for Windows. Don't howl, you can still use whatever browser you
    like. You then start RoboHelp and gen WebHelp. After you do this,
    close RoboHelp and reset your browser to your desired default.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Prime Infrastructure 1.3 new install web password fails

    I just installed Prime Infrastructure v1.3 twice in our lab and the CLI access works but the web gui password does not. I know the CLI password is not the same as the web password so changing it there won't help. Where can I find this in the shell? What steps can I take to resolve this issue? Is there a troubleshooting guide that covers this?
    Thanks, Karl

    So you can login to the CLI using the admin login credentials?
    So you can't login to the WebUI using the root login credentials?
    If this is the case, try, from the CLI running ncs password root password

  • I downloaded Firefox 3.6 and now my tool bar is gone. No back arrows, forward arrows, file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools....how do I get my web browser to look like a regular browser again?

    I downloaded the new Mozilla web browser and I had a Bing homepage setting. I changed back to yahoo but I ever since downloading I dont have any back arrows, forward arrows, file, edit, view, history, bookmark, tools, address bar....how do I get my web browser to look like a regular browser again?

    For details of how to restore the menus see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing]
    Once the menus are back, you can use the View menu, then select Toolbars and click on the names of the toolbars to toggle displaying them.

  • I am getting a new computer and it will not have any web browser software preloaded. Can I get a CD with Firefox in order to install?

    I have a new computer that will not have any web browser installed when I acquire it. So, I cannot download Firefox, say, using Internet Explorer. Can I get a copy of Firefox on a CD and use that instead.

    Easiest is to download the full Firefox installer and copy that file to an USB stick.
    http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Such an USB stick is also useful for making backups of your profile data, so if you do not already have one then this is an opportunity to start making backups.

  • New Install - Can access the internet but not with Web Browser

    I just installed Solaris 10 11/06 with my new Ultra 20 M2 workstation. I can ping, complete NSLOOKUP commands on public domain names and can telnet; however, when I try to use the browser it says it cannot connect to the internet. I made sure of the following:
    - Web Browser is not using proxy
    - resolv.conf is accurate
    - defaultrouter is accurate
    - hosts, hostname.. are good
    - netmasks is fine.
    Any thoughts? thanks for your help.

    Is there a firewall between the server and the internet, try telneting the fully qualified domain name again but on port 80 (or 8080) (i.e. telnet www.yahoo.com 80), do you have another machine on this network that can access the internet through a browser (if so check it's settings) also if you have an intranet see if the browser can access that, if these don't work then the problem is settings\config in your browser.
    also try a traceroute and see where the packets are routed and how many hops it takes.

  • Brand new Yoga 2 11 - Super slow web browsing

    We got a new Yoga 2 11 this morning, and the web browsing is excruciatingly slow, whether using IE, FireFox or Chrome.  The only downloads or installs of any kind have been IE & FF.
    Based on searching this forum, I increased the minimum processor power to 65%, but that was only an incremental improvement.  Some page loads are still taking over a kminute, and an attempt to proceed with a page that isn;t full loaded (i.e. a login), just crashes everything.  I ran SpeedTest, and the download and upload speeds are all 3x that of my work machine (a Latitude that is about three years old)...but the Latitude has "normal" load times.
    The only other observation I have is that it seemed better behaved before the Windows updates were applied, but there was maybe only 15 minutes of use there, not enough to reliably establish a baseline.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for what I might be missing?  This might be going right back to the store, as it's not really an inprovement over the 3 yr old Asus netbook, which is less powerful than most phones...

    Well in general, Ideapad computers have driver issuess.
    If you like we can try teamviewer and try to fix your issue.
    Teamviewer does not need to be installed. It will give me temporary access into your computer to fix the issue. When the issue is fixed, simply delete the program. Anyhow, once you close the program, the password is reset and the ID blocked until next launch. I also figured a 1 day old computer has nothing important on it. So if you like, I can try to eliminate the hassle for you and try to fix the computer.
    Should you feel uncomfortable with anything, you can close the program at any time.
    Based on the speed test, I doubt it is an internet problem. I am thinking software problems.

  • Issue using Reader/Acrobat in web browser after CS3 install

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit and recently installed CS3 Web Premium. During install, I was unaware of the issue concerning the "AdobePDF.dll" file and did not perform the solution provided at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401731.html.
    I have encountered problems opening and utiling pdf files since, especially in a browser (using up-to-date Firefox), receiving the message:
    "Adobe Acrobat: Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDF in your web browser. Reader will now exit. Please exit your browser and try again."
    Is there a way to correct the issue without unistalling and reinstalling with the solution above?
    Thanks,

    Hi, I am trying to figure out JDIC (0.9.1), and how
    to use it to open an htm file in Internet Explorer.
    My issue is that when I compile, it always says that
    It can't reference non-static method
    open(Java.io.File) from static context.
    Its definitely NOT in a static context.
    public void myMethod(){
    File testFile = new File("Index.htm");
    Desktop.open(testFile);
    That definitely IS a static context.
    When you see the following.
    ClassName.methodOrPropertyThat is a static context because you are invoking a method or accessing a property of the class. Not an instance (object) of the class.
    Note the difference between that and this
    instanceName.methodOrPropertySo you need a reference to a Desktop instance.

  • I have an audio problem when ever I use my Firefox web browser that makes a sharp audible sound simiular to a video game gun shot sound effect when ever I go into a new web page?

    I have an audio problem that when ever I use my Firefox web browser it makes a sharp audible sound similar to a video game gun shot sound effect when ever I go into a new web page? I change to a new site or page a page on a site, I get an audible gunshot ping trpe sound? It happens almost every time. Its very annoying and is driving me nuts???
    Any body out there had this happen also or know how to diagnose and fix this type of problem? I would hate to have to delete my whole Firefox program and have to start over again. If that is the case I will probably just scrap it and go on to try Google Chrome instead. I already have GC partially set up. I really have liked Firefox up to this point. I know add ons can cause problems at times but I haven't added anything new lately and this just started happening?

  • Why do some versions of Flash Player require a new DMG to be downloaded through a web browser?

    Why do some versions of Adobe Flash Player require a new DMG on OS X to be downloaded through a web browser? It is an annoyance to users to have to go through downloading a new DMG and installing through this method. Why can this not be an in-place download and install just as the normal delta updates?
    In addition, is there no way for Adobe to implement a new update process where the browsers are not required to be shutdown if a person is updating? It would make more sense to put things in place for the user and have these new values put into effect when the browser is finally shutdown. Unless the browser is shutdown, whatever version is already installed and running will continue. Is that some sort of privacy problem for Adobe?

    First point: I don't know why they don't just have the PKG file for download, other than it's harder for unscrupulous folks to make a DMG that will pass the "Gatekeeper" checksum.
    Second point: Since the browser uses the Flash Player Plugin, trying to update it while the browser is running would be akin to trying to change your oil while driving down the freeway at 70MPH. And then there's the whole "admin password needed" thing, that would prevent "blind updates".
    You can always download the offline installer: Flash Player (For Mac OS X) and run it whenever you want.

    After an invitation via email to install Flipora (a new web browser), eveytime I click eg a website link sent via an email, Flipora will automatically switch me to Google search engine. Prior installing i have no problem .

    Thank you very much for your suggestions.
    But I am not creating a custom workflow in designer as Laura has mentioned. I am instead trying to create a new Out of the box Approval Workflow and I get the error mentioned above.
    As it works in other environment, I tried figuring out the possible differences which can lead to this error.
    Today I found one difference which is there are no form Templates within Infopath Configurations in Central Admin. Now I am trying to figure out what makes this form templates to be added to the template gallery.

  • PDF-in web browser - open link in new window

    I've done a lot of searching for JavaScript code to solve this: if a PDF is being viewed in a web browser, and the user clicks a link in that PDF, the default is to have the linked page replace the original. I would like it to open a new window in the browser. E.g., if there is a link in the PDF to abc.com, then when the user clicks that link, the original PDF stays open and a new window opens to abc.com. Any help?

    In the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference look up the app.launchURL() method. The second parameter is a boolean value that describes whether or not you want the URL to open in a new window.
