Fedora :: Default Applications Not Saved
Jun 23, 2011
I have the problem that Fedora doesn't save my default applications.When I change it, it does work for some time, but when I reboot it's all gone. So every time I open Chrome I have to select "Make default browser" (very annoying). It doesn't save the default settings for specific extensions neither. For example when I open a .exe file it always open with Archive Manager now while I have selected Wine as default program for that.

I am trying to torrent using transmission. The problem is, when I click a link to download something, I just get
"/tmp/mn3BZo4y.torrent.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator."
This is happening on all torrent sites.It never comes up with an "open with" option or anything.

I recently upgraded to Fedora 15 and am super-happy with it. Unfortunately, I have a minor issue that I haven't yet figured out how to fix: I can't change the default applications or the file type associations. For instance, I'd like to set Chromium as my default browser. When I first login, I tell it to set itself as default. But after I end my session and log back it, Firefox is back to being the default browser.
I have the same issues when trying to change what applications open filetypes. .rtf files have been opening in Wordpad in Wine. When I try to change it to Writer through the "Open with" dialog, it retains the change for that session but resets after I log out. I actually ended up having to uninstall Calibre because it was opening .odt files instead of LibreOffice and I couldn't change it permanently.

I downloaded emacs, but when I run it in terminal, it does not open the gui - it opens emacs in the terminal and I do not want that. Also, kate just doesn't launch and a bunch of error appears. What do I need to do to launch the applications on GUI by default?

Is there a way to change the default theme/gui for SquirrelMail to something newer and more fresh ? I really like the gui on RoundCube, but SquirrelMail has been here longer and has more features, but I will use RoundCube if I can't change it(end users will be more satisfied if it looks better).

I am on Archlinux x86_64 with Gnome 2.3...Somehow, my default applications got all messed up. On a new user account, when I try and open a file from Chromium, or even the places menu under gnome (a folder), it asks me what to open it with. It then uses this for EVERYTHING. For example, on my real account, everything is opening with soffice (LibreOffice), including folders from the Places menu - as well as all files from within chromium.

I'm using Lubuntu and I cant figure out how to change the default applications used.
I have (Preferences -> Preferred Applications) in the menu and that lets me set Web Browser and Mail client. I have that set to Chromium, however any links I click open in Opera. I want these to open in Chromium, but I'm not sure how to set that.

I'm trying to set the default apps using gnome-default-applications-properties. In previous versions I was able to set custom apps for everything. Looks like Gnome3/Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't let me do that for, say, the mail reader. I'm one of those people who still use Alpine, and in previous versions I was able to set the default to run an xterm (well, aterm) which auto-ran alpine.
This version, looks like that's not there. I'm wondering if there's a way to set that anyway. like registering a script I write as a "mail client" so it's available in the chooser. Second... and almost MORE annoying... the "Terminal Emulator" default app DOES have a custom option. But it also recognises that I have aterm installed, which I want to use as the default app... however, since it has an aterm option, it won't let me enter aterm as a default command. Which I want to do because I want to modify the commandline options. But if you choose "Custom" and type "aterm" into the Command field... it ERASES your commandline options and puts it's default sterm options in!

I decided to switch from chrome back to iceweasel as my default browser. However, when I try to do that (as I used to) via Details -> Default Applications -> Web, iceweasel is not listed as choice.I tried to do it then from the shell with
Code: Select allupdate-alternatives --config x-www-browser
update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser
At least out of evolution or thunderbird, still chrome is opened when clicking on a link.

I have tried to make my own buntu running LXDE as the desktop environment though it is running smoothly on an old laptop it has a certain problem.
I have installed PCMan File Manager as the default file manager for the LXDE and not Thunar or Dolphin, but, I have a problem with opening files from there. The default application set to open all file types is the Terminal.
What I currently do to open the file is right click and choose "Open with.." to open the file in the appropriate application. Is there a way to set the default applications?
I have Ubuntu 9.10 from minimal CD install then got LXDE and installed the following applications aside from the applications that came with LXDE:
-OpenOffice.org suite
-Mozilla Firefox
-Google Picasa
-Wine
-VLC Player

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and I would like to know a way to know what applications are asking you to enter password for default keyring to unlock. In the past that dialog used to appear at startup once but now appears twice and I would like to know which applications are asking me for the password. Is there any log where I can see it?

I'm new to Fedora; been using it for just a few hours. I have Fedora 10 setup on a LiveUSB and it works great. However, any setting that I make or files I save are gone when I reboot. For instance, I change the mouse cursor speed and made a "Test" word doc and saved it to the desktop. Yet when I reboot, the "Test" file is gone and does not even show as a recent document and the mouse speed setting was set back to default.Am I missing something that need to be accomplished prier to the shutdown?

I'm running Fedora Laughlin 14 (that may be redundant, but I'm new to Linux still) and am trying to backup some files so I can wipe and start over with a partitioned drive. The thing is, I'm having trouble with Gnote. Where do these notes get saved? I found a post saying it was /home/user/.local/share/gnote/ but I can't seem to find this folder. Unless I'm going about it in all the wrong ways, it doesn't seem to exist. Is my only choice to c/p all the notes one by one into another file type, or is there yet hope for finding the folder they're saved in?

I'm trying to figure out how to change the default settings for my printer under Firefox. I'm mainly interested in changing the default print resolution and the pages-per-side layout setting I can change the settings for all KDE applications through [URL], but I can't seem to be able to find the respective dialog for Firefox / GTK applications.
Firefox itself doesn't seem to have a dialog for the printer default settings; I've looked into about:config but all the value names are rather confusing.
My system environment:
openSUSE 11.3
KDE 4.4.4
Printer: Brother MFC-7420

I recently upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4 succesfully. I had to reinstall several applications and, some of them, can't be configured as default from the control panel (e.g. Opera as default browser, VLC as default media player). The problem is that droplists at the prefered applications don't show any other than the default ones, Firefox and TotemIs there a way I can change these settings via command line or a way to fix what applications are shown at the control panel?

I'm having a problem with the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental, I bought a new monitor, Samsung 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor (B2430H) and my old monitor was a 24 inch too but with a different native resolution, my new monitors native resolution is 1680x1050 and I try to change the settings in the system settings/ display/ size&orientation area since the mesa drivers don't have a xorg.conf but my settings don't save after a reboot. Is there a config file for the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental where I can change these settings?

I have been using Nautilus file browser in my fedora 11 desktop to browse Samba shares of our servers. Let me explain my problem.
We have two users test1 and test2 who can access Samba shares for downloading and uploading files.
test1 has read only access.
test2 has read/write access.
When I initially connected to the samba share through test1 user through Nautilus file browser I clicked on remember password.
But now when I try to access the share again, its not prompting for password. It is directly taking test1 user's password who doesn't have write access to share.
How to get the password window back to fill test2 username and password.?

Not sure if others have noticed this. When I go into sound settings, click the output tab, select the sound device I want to edit and change the bass levels etc, close the window and go back in all the settings are reset to default and no changes are saved.
If I leave the window open and make the changes they are reflected in VLC for example, but if I close the window it again resets to defaults and my Bass is back at Maximum....
Is this a BUG I should report or is there something I can download to get this configured elsewhere or to fix this issue? I seem to recall something similar in Fedora 14 that was fixed, but I cant remember how I did it now

I recently installed Fedora 14 KDE and NVIDIA proprietary driver for GeForce FX 5200. I'm able to change the resolution to 1920x1080 (Acer H213H 21.5" lcd monitor), but when I restart the box, I lose these settings and I have to fiddle with NVIDIA and KDE monitor settings until I get the settings back.
Here is my xorg.conf file:
Code:
Is this (in)correct? What else can I try in order to keep my resolution at 1920x1080? When I restart, it reverts to 640x480.
I didn't have this problem before installing NVIDIA driver, however, I had visual anomalies and slowness in video refresh/repaint whenever moving windows. I don't want to go back to that so I'd like to see how to permanently propagate my resolution settings through reboots of this box. I've search multiple forums with no relevant hits as far as I was able to discern.

Ubuntu insists on using movie player as the default for audio files. I would like to use VLC. VLC doesn't show up on the list as preferred applications for multimedia. I tried using custom with vlc %u but it doesn't work.
