View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my home machine to 11.2 and am running the regular Firefox 3.6.10 for openSUSE-11.2 (why can I still not cut and paste that infor from the dialog box, grr).
My home page is set to - file:///home/dhoworth/public_html/localstart.html
But when Firefox starts it shows instead a directory listing of - file:///home/dhoworth/
If I then press the home button, it shows my home page. If I start a new window from an existing one, it shows my home page.
why it isn't shown on startup?
Installed Ubuntu along with Debian on my Notebook and use Grub Manager to choose between them on startup. Since i like Debian now a lot (in past days it was a very hard system to handle, but there has been some progress i noticed), i have to change some things (want Debian as main system now) For Ubuntu i have: (was meant to be main system on Notebook) "/", "/home" and a "swap" partition, but since i am now going to use mainly Debian, i wanted to store my files all in the "/home"-folder of my extended Ubuntu partition (has much more space available) not in the "/home" folder of the Debian system. So i want both (Debian and Ubuntu) to use the same extended partition ("/home") which i created for Ubuntu to save their files like downloads, videos, and so on.

Note that the in the original file (prefs.js), the URL could be set to *anything* and not necessarily www.abc.com. So I need to search for the variable user_pref("browser.startup.homepage" and then set the entire line with my own supplied line (with the desired URL).
I have just finished transferring my home folder to a new partition. I did so by carefully following instructions on this link [URL] I had firefox open and was copying instructions one by one into an open terminal window.
When I tried to reboot ubuntu I first had a problem with ICEauthority which I think is now fixed and ubuntu then started as normal but when I tried to run Firefox I got a message saying that it was already open.
As I had Firefox open when I was copying files to the new partition I assume that some setting was copied saying that Firefox was open?
Is it possible to simply adjust this setting or do I have to undo the transfer and repeat the process with firefox closed.
I have not deleted my copy of the old home folder yet.
i was looking for my assignment and i found it in documents folder.I also found some strange icon looking files and folders too such as urlclassified3.sqlite and many more i did not know what it was and i deleted it but somehow i know it was related to firefox, because there was a test pilot error log and i deleted it too and next when i opened firefox my bookmarks and personas were gone i don't know what happened and there are now new files and folders which have made it self in documents folder again anybody know what to do with it?

I am however able to access the internet at work, both use WPA password protection. I was also able to do the updates over wireless at home, despite not being able to access the internet. I am currently at work, and downloaded Google Chrome and did not import settings from Firefox, to see if there were any settings issues with Firefox itself.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed a new, larger hard drive and installed 10.04 with home directory encryption. Then I mounted my old hard drive's home partition to a folder and copied the entire home directory off of it onto my new hard drive like so:
Code:
chaz@brutus:~$ cp -ravv ../mnt/chaz/* ./
This seems to have worked and it looks like all my files are here on my new hard drive. However when I rebooted I expected my old desktop settings to apply, and my firefox to have my bookmarks, history, and add-ons. Apparently it doesn't work like that.
In the past when I reinstalled Ubuntu and kept my old home partition, all my program configs were saved and worked in the new installation, even if I had to install the program first. How can I duplicate that behavior in copying my old home partition to the new hard drive?

I have xfce on my machine, running lucid lynx. For some weird reason, I can't change my firefox home page. I've changed it to the same one time and again in preferences, but every time I open firefox, it shows all the files in my home directory, including hidden ones. I uncheck the "show hidden files box", change it again in "preferences", but it still does this. And the home page in "preferences" is set to the right page I want; firefox just won't go there when I start it up. I really don't want my home directory in plain view like that; how do I make firefox recognize my settings?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have these installations:
1. Wheezy on SSD (/dev/sdb) in one single partition (50GB)
2. Squeeze on HDD (/de/sda) with /boot, /root and /home.
Both drives are ext4 and they share one single swap partition.
I normally run wheezy on ssd since it is much faster. But, I have to log into my /home in squeeze in order to access my data there.
Is there a way that I can change wheezy to use the /home in the squeeze (second hdd)?
I want to try and set up a server on a home PC, using Debian of course, rather than on a remote server. hosting web pages, a mail server and a file server etc. Installation looks fairly straightforward. However, there are one or two things that are not too clear to me:
A. Is it best to connect the server using Ethernet or is wireless OK with network manager or wicd or doesn't it matter? Answer: Wired ethernet is best
B. if the IP of my desktop Debian (wireless) has the same IP as the server, how do I connect from my desktop? The router has its own static IP address but assigns two different IP addresses, one to the desktop computer and the other to the PC being used as a server.
C. I have a static IP and a domain.com without hosting but it's status is "parked". Not too sure what this implies. [When domain is "parked" it means it is still hosted by the company that registered it. So it's necessary to "unpark" it.] It was very easy to unpark the domain as explained in a reply post below.
D. setting up DNS with the static IP? [Answer: in the case of the company i registered with, I didn't have to set up any DNS because the domain works with the company name servers, so it was much less complicated than i imagined.]
E. I seem to have only ONE Primary DNS for my connection.
F. it's better on a server to have no Desktop. It looks easy enough to install but, accustomed though I am to the CLI. configuring without cut and paste is very tedious.Can anyone suggest a way round this? I've thought of trying to use the lynx browser and nano. [Answer: Best to install the server without a Desktop. For editing files I used PuTTy, which enables me to cut and paste and nano having found vi pretty unfriendly. One day i'll get round to using vi or vim which may be more than a blast from the past! Once the thing is fully set up it would be nice to connect to the server from the first desktop computer using GUI tools.
I recently installed Debian (*former Windows user*) with xfce and I only aligned one partition. I have a 80gb SSD where I have the OS and apps. I just now installed a hard drive which I'm going to use for documents, pictures, music etc., but I haven't mounted it yet. I'd like to move /home to it's own partition on the second drive, and I'd like the desktop to be on the HDD also, but I don't really have any idea how to do this and haven't found any information about this (that's why I haven't mounted the HDD yet either). I'd like to keep the SSD purely as a drive for OS and apps so if there's anything else I should consider or if there's a better approach for this?

how to set up a specific home server. What I'd like to do is set up my home server to check mail from various ISP's that use either POP3 or IMAP, then make that mail available to a local IMAP server.
Meaning... Server would just check every nn minutes to see if there is new mail at 2-3 different ISP's and if so, copy/move the messages to my server where I would use an IMAP client to check locally from my server. Before anyone mentions forwarding, neither of the ISP's does not offer forwarding services.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 2 linux installations with the same username in each of them, which are on different disks.I would like to create another partiton to use it as home for both distros(the one to be at /home/debian/username and the other at /home/suse/username e.g)First, is this possible? If yes how can I do it, and how much space is enough for the other directories? More details: The first distro is on a 82GB partition, and the second on a 21GB partition on another disk. I'm planning to use all 82GB partition for the shared /home and move both distros to the other disk's partition(in fact the one, the other is already there).So, I'm thinking to resize the 82G partition, to make free space for the /home partition(which filesystem is better to use?). Then to move my user of both distros there in folders /home/debian/username - /home/suse/username. After to resize 21GB partition(how much space is enough for debian?), and on new free space to move the other distro. And finally to resize again the new /home partition to use all 82GB.
And last, this way will be easy if I want to install another distro later, to use the home partition with the same form(/home/other-distro/username? Can I define this at distro's installation procedure?

What would keep changing the domain to "lan" in network settings on my Debian notebook? I've tried launching network-admin from a root terminal, made changes, but after rebooting it reverts back to "lan". Perhaps it's irrelevant, but maybe it's the reason I can't see any other PCs when I try to browse the network.
Installed samba, but that seems more for setting up a share, than trying to access existing shares. At any rate, it did not solve anything.
Weird though, because immediately after I installed Debian, I was able to browse the network successfully. I've only installed zsnes and debian updates since then. I also installed the Broadcom firmware/driver needed for wireless today, but my network browsing problem existed prior to that.
I have a home media server that usually is running headless, as its only display is our TV. For the last year or so, I've used it as a component in our stereo, running Banshee via tunneling x to a server on either my phone or another computer via ssh. Please note I know that X doesn't handle sound, the idea is that the remote computer controls the media center which is hard-wired into our speakers.
This has worked great with Wheezy for about a year, and for several months with Jessie (up to like the end of February) when I started to have general sound issues with my install. I spent a few months running Ubuntu and now that Jessie's released I re-installed it last night.
Banshee runs great on the local X server- no issues. It also runs acceptably under XServer XSDL on my phone (it won't continue playing songs after the current song ends, unless I re open the X server app and then it sort of wakes up.) But when I try and log in from a remote computer (either another Jessie computer or Ubuntu 14.04.2) it says it's playing but no sound.
Here's what it's saying in the terminal on the Ubuntu computer while it's trying to start playing on the media computer
