When im at home, link works just fine
What can i do to fix this?
FYI Im running the following:
Firefox 3.5.8
Ubuntu 9.10
If you are running it remotely, how did you set it up so that you just click a launcher? The way I run programs remotely is:
Code:
$ ssh yyy.yyy.y.yyy
<password>
$ csh
% setenv DISPLAY xxx.xxx.x.xxx:0.0
% firefox
xxx.xxx.x.xxx being the ip address of the local computer and yyy.yyy.y.yyy being the ip address of the computer you are connecting to remotely.
Could you paste the code that you put in the launcher?
