 |

Hello,
I use a chroot32 inside my 64bit environment since some months for firefox, thunderbird, ...
Everything works fine except the fact that my thunderbird does not open firefox by clicking on a link inside some emails. In my chroot env, I have most required gnome support built like in my 64bit system. In the 64 I am using Gnome and I have configured it to have firefox as my fav browser and thunderbird as my fav mail application.
I have bind-mounted the homedir and some other dirs inside the chroot and I thought, thunderbird therefor would use the same configuration files. I also used the gconf command inside the chroot to specify firefox, etc, but this did not help.
By clicking on a link, nothing happens. I do not get any error messages on the command line.
I use the mozilla-launcher inside the chroot like on my laptop, so firefox and thunderbird are links to mozilla-launcher.
Here is my mount tab:
| Code: | /dev/sda7 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
/dev on /chroot32/dev type none (rw,bind)
/tmp on /chroot32/tmp type none (rw,bind)
/var/tmp on /chroot32/var/tmp type none (rw,bind)
/home/croessner on /chroot32/home/croessner type none (rw,bind)
/root on /chroot32/root type none (rw,bind)
/usr/portage on /chroot32/usr/portage type none (rw,bind)
/proc on /chroot32/proc type none (rw,bind)
/sys on /chroot32/sys type none (rw,bind)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) |
fstab looks like this:
| Code: | # chroot-jail
/dev/ /chroot32/dev none bind 0 0
/tmp/ /chroot32/tmp none bind 0 0
/var/tmp/ /chroot32/var/tmp none bind 0 0
/home/croessner/ /chroot32/home/croessner none bind 0 0
/root/ /chroot32/root none bind 0 0
/usr/portage/ /chroot32/usr/portage none bind 0 0
/proc/ /chroot32/proc none bind 0 0
/sys/ /chroot32/sys none bind 0 0 |
My applications are started with the following trick:
| Code: | amd64 /usr/local/bin # l
insgesamt 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 20. Mär 00:08 ./
drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 16. Mär 19:47 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 16. Mär 19:47 .keep
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11 13. Jan 11:15 TeamSpeak -> chroot.skel*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2. Mär 09:07 thunderbird -> chroot.skel*
|
where chroot.skel is:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0.0
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/Acrobat5/:/opt/sun-jre-bin-1.4.2.06/bin"
chroot /chroot32 `basename $0` $*
|
To get this working, the chroot app needs 4755 rights.
Do you have any ideas what I could do, to get firefox and thunderbird to talk to each other?
Thanks in advance
