Microsoft Office Communicator Web Access hangs on Firefox 2.x

Published on 31 January 2008 in IT stuff. 0 Comments

Just solved an ANNOYING problem on my Ubuntu Gutsy installation.

Microsoft Office Communicator Web Access was freezing Firefox 2.0.0.11 right after the login page.
Intensive investigations bring to the conclusion that the Google Toolbar was causing the issue.
After I disabled the Google Toolbar the problem has gone.
Removing the features from the settings didn’t help, only disabling did.

I reported this to Google on their Help forum.

Hope that this can help someone in the same situation as me.

The situation is annoying because:

if you need Microsoft Office Communicator Web Access, it means that you’re already pissed off because the client is not available for your OS
your collegues are probably blaming you because you’re not running Windows
you want to proof that with Linux you can do everything, but then you can’t run a bloody instant message

L’impatto con l’America e’ una bella esperienza, e’ un’esposizione ad una cultura veramente differente dall’europea.
Per rendere l’esperienza piu’ interessante, ho avuto a noleggio una Mazda MX-5 convertibile

Nice software for multi-PC users!

If you, like me, have more than one PC on your desk…

This software is a VNC client that permits to use the client keyboard and mouse, but the host monitor.

That’s it: if you have 2 PC, with theirs own monitor, you can manage both with the same keyboard and mouse, but still using the monitors as if it is an extension of the first PC.

It’s very nice, the only problem I found is that connecting from my Windows host to the Linux box sometimes the process get crazy and the CPU goes up to 100%…
