[18:18:52] <spiekey> hi
[18:19:06] <spiekey> firefox asks me for a profile, but i have no other instances of firefox running.
[18:19:09] <spiekey> any idea?
[18:20:00] <subopt> spiekey: What platform are you on?
[18:22:40] subopt [n=eric@cpe-70-112-154-14.austin.res.rr.com] has left #firefox
[18:23:39] <spiekey> oh, linux of course
[18:25:24] <spiekey> mario@spiekey:~/.mozilla> ps aux | grep fire
[18:25:24] <spiekey> mario 16432 0.0 0.1 2728 680 pts/1 S+ 18:25 0:00 grep fire
[18:25:42] <spiekey> fuser /usr/bin/firefox -> nothing
[18:25:56] <spiekey> .mozilla> find . -name lock --> nothing
[18:28:02] <spiekey> anyone?
[18:35:28] <morlenxus> spiekey: Go into your profile dir.
[18:35:33] <morlenxus> There is a file "locked"
[18:35:38] <morlenxus> Delete that file.
[18:37:48] <spiekey> .mozilla.org> find . -name locked
[18:37:50] <spiekey> no result
[18:37:53] <spiekey> there is no such file
[18:38:07] <morlenxus> hm or lock ?
[18:38:50] <morlenxus> oh i see, you still did that.
[18:38:51] <spiekey> ./firefox/hptzc9gl.remote/.parentlock ?
[18:38:52] <morlenxus> sorry
[18:39:02] <morlenxus> yeah
[18:39:06] <morlenxus> Delete that lockfile
[18:40:48] <spiekey> still the same :(
[18:40:55] <morlenxus> Hm damn
[18:41:19] <spiekey> firefox was running, then i opened a vncserver session and firefox with a 2nd profile.
[18:41:30] <spiekey> since then i cant get my original firefox profile running
[18:41:42] <morlenxus> If you just want to go on working, save the bookmark.html file, remove the .mozilla dir and let firefox recreate a profile. Then close firefox and replace the bookmark.html
[18:41:45] <spiekey> and i need it with all my bookmarks, history and passowrds
[18:41:50] <morlenxus> oh
[18:42:21] <morlenxus> Well bookmarks are in bookmark(s).html file in your profile dir.
[18:42:23] <morlenxus> Save it.
[18:42:39] <spiekey> and the passwords?
[18:42:53] <morlenxus> In this dir there should be also the history.dat
[18:43:21] <morlenxus> Well i don't store passwords, but maybe something like pass* ?
[18:44:51] <@gavins> signons.txt and key3.db
[18:46:08] <morlenxus> :)
[18:46:22] <spiekey> cool!
[18:46:41] <spiekey> and the peferences? (like start page or the "do you want to...") questions?
[18:48:02] <morlenxus> spiekey: Well i would just reedit that. ;)
[18:48:28] <morlenxus> Or simply save all files from your old profile.
[18:52:02] <@gavins> prefs.js are the preferences
[18:55:13] <spiekey> thanks!
