Google Gears still not working for me on Ubuntu
Due to a comment of Sudhandshu on my article "Google Gears does not work with Firefox on Ubuntu 7.04" I thought I might give it an other try. I installed Google Gears again. However, I do not see the option in Google Reader to download the content to my computer. I can also not access the "Google Gears Settings" in Firefox.
My suspicion is that it has something to do with "glibc 2.3.5 or higher" and "libstdc++" which are required. In Synaptic on Ubuntu I can not find the glibc, it only offers me a glibc-doc. The libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 is installed.
Maybe this is the reason why it does not work with my Firefox?

3 months of Ubuntu on my FSC Amilo si1520
About 3 months ago I wrote my post first post about Ubuntu on the FSC Amilo si1520. So it is time to write a follow up. I am still very happy with the notebook. In the above mentioned post I wrote about the software I was using at that time.
Google Gears does not work with Firefox on Ubuntu 7.04
I was trying to get Google Gears working on my computer. Not that I would really need it, but I like the idea to be able to read my feeds offline. That comes really handy when you are travelling and you do not have any internet connection. You could easily get up to date by reading through the latest posts on your favourite blogs and news sites.
However, when I click on the link Google is offering ("Offline New!") in the upper right corner of Google Reader it opens a window, gives me the opportunity to install the plug-in. The plug-in installs, but after restarting Firefox the "Offline" links still shows up and I can not download the feeds to my computer.
Is anyone running Google Gears with Firefox and Ubuntu 7.04? Any idea how to fix the problem?
