Jereme Claussen - 08/May/08 01:14 PM Where can I find this config file? Is there a way to fix it manually? I actually don't even use the RI tab, I was just showing off Aptana to a coworker and clicked it.. So really I just need to get back to where I was.

Chris Williams - 08/May/08 04:33 PM This isn't a config file issue, it's that there isn't a browser set up properly on your Linux system for Eclipse's purpose. Until this is fixed a number of tools that use browsers widgets inside the IDE won't work : RI, The Aptana update install dialog, the Start page, the API docs for Ruby/Rails, etc. If you don't want to try and set that up you can try and hand edit your workbench XML file in your workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/workbench.xml file. That ugly XML file contains how your workbench UI is set up (you can try and find and remove the entry that has the RI View opened). That's pretty ugly/difficult. A quicker and much dirtier way is to blow away that file or event the .metadata folder and restart Aptana/Eclipse. You'll lose a lot of your settings doing that though.

Jereme Claussen - 08/May/08 04:59 PM I believe you are correct. I wound up reinstalling aptana from scratch only to find that the embedded browser still didn't work. In the end, I installed the firefox-3.0-gnome-support package for Hardy which contains the gtk support for Firefox. Soon after that, my embedded browser began to work. I believe installing this package might have resolved my original issue, but I have no good way of testing this theory at the moment. So, to whomever finds this ticket... Try installing the firefox-3.0-gnome-support package if you're running Firefox 3b5 in Hardy Heron and see if that resolves your issue. Thank you Chris!
