RSSOwl setup - lmmx/devnotes GitHub Wiki

[couldn't get to search feeds]

• Move to /usr/local/bin/rssowl

• Add to bash_profile [or something sourced in there:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/rssowl

* `cd /usr/local/bin/rssowl` and `sudo ln -s RSSOwl rssowl` to make a nicer shortlink for your path
* `gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/RSSOwl.desktop` to edit the desktop shortcut file and add:

[Desktop Entry] Name=RSSOwl Comment=RSSOwl Exec=runRSSOwl.sh Icon=/opt/rssowl_linux_1_1_3_bin/rssowl.xpm Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Application;Network;

   At startup  the start shortcuts will now have RSSOwl in the list

* Import e.g. [Feedly OPML](feedly.com/#opml) 

Via [this](https://github.com/rssowl/RSSOwl/wiki/FAQ#item_6j), to get the Ctrl+Shift+F search working, install pre-v2 (v1.9) of Mozilla xulrunner [via](http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.9.2.19/runtimes/xulrunner-1.9.2.19.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2) and put in a sys file somewhere (I chose `/usr/local/share/xulrunner`) and specify as initialisation parameter (either on command line or preferably edit file in RSSOwl path RSSOwl.ini)

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/local/share/xulrunner

* moved to `/home/louis/.xulrunner` in case it was permissions related but still didn't work
