Google bookmark feature on Google Toolbar doesn't work

I'm facing this issue since Firefox 3 and Google Toolbar for that has been released. when logging in with my Google account or clicking a star on the toolbar, I see an error message on the error console. that says,

Cc['@google.com/toolbar/bookmark-wrapper;1'] is undefined

I don't know what happened, What I can tell is this feature worked on Firefox 2. so trying to google it and amazingly there are so many people who is facing the same problem and there are a lot of false alarm about its solution, at least with Firefox 3 or on Fedora 9.

• installing libstdc++.so.5 would helps.

Apparently it's not. the latest Google Toolbar doesn't even require libstdc++.so.5. but surely libstdc++.so.6.

% readelf -d extensions/\{3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c\}/components/libgoogletoolbar.so | grep libstdc
0x00000001 (NEEDED)                     Shared library: [libstdc++.so.6]

So this wouldn't help at all.

• that works fine after creating new profile.

That didn't even help me, unfortunately.

So I have given up to investigate this issue and just installed GBookmarks add-on. I'm happy with it now.

[Update: 2008-07-22] Google toolbar 3.1.20080605L works fine on Debian sid, but Iceweasel 3.0.1. I'm missing something or something went wrong. I'd believe Firefox and Iceweasel doesn't make so much difference. anyway Google toolbar doesn't work yet on Fedora 9.
[Update: 2009-09-24] I have to update to not let people get confused... Once updating to Google toolbar 5.0.20090823L (I'm not sure which version exactly fix this since but anyway), this feature works fine again on even Firefox 3.5.

Flash 9で日本語が表示されない件

しばし表示されなくて困ってた。今まではxfsの設定ファイルが必要でそこからフォントパスをたどってもげもげとかだったのが、fontconfigに移行した、ところまでは情報として入手できてたけど、Pangoもリンクしててなおさら不自然極まりない挙動に頭を抱えてたが、Pangoはあまり直接関係はないみたいだ。fontconfig単体だけ使った場合には非常にありがちな問題なのだけど、sans-serifから見つけたフォントをそのまま使いつづけるため、最初に掴んだフォントが欧文フォントだと日本語とかがでなくなってしまうということらしい。.fonts.confをいじって日本語フォントを最初につかませるように変えたら問題なくなった。

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
...
<alias>
  <family>sans-serif</family>
  <prefer>
    <family>VL Gothic</family>
  </prefer>
</alias>
...
</fontconfig>

ちょっとした失敗

なんか--hogeみたいなファイルができててコマンドを*で実行したら--hogeなんてオプション知らねえとか言われて、何を言ってるのか最初さっぱり分からんかった。状況的にはこんな感じ。

% touch -r -f
% mkdir foo
% rm *
% ls
-f -r

ワイルドカードの前に--を入れとくのが安全だよね。
