Fedora :: Firefox Graphics Different Depending On Whether It Starts Normally Or From Startup
Apr 22, 2010
trying to get Firefox working properly. I have the tarball installed from Firefox�s site and am using Fedora 12 with KDE as the desktop environment. The problem is if I start Firefox normally, say, by just clicking on the firefox script, then the graphics will be rather crude; but when Firefox starts as soon as I log in (because I�ve configured it to auto-start) then the graphics will be nice and smooth. I�m having a hard time trying to find answers for this because I�m not exactly sure what�s happening? I think when it auto-starts as I log in, it�ll use... well, this is the bit I haven�t got a clue how to explain? I�d guess one time it uses QT, and the other time it�ll use GTK.
I don�t know why it�s doing this, and when it�s started normally and I go to shutdown most of the time it�ll come up with a crash report. There isn�t any difference in the way Firefox is being opened, the auto-start calls upon the same script that my shortcut uses, which is the same as clicking on the firefox script in the firefox folder. I have a few images attached to elucidate the problem. I understand I may not have made myself very clear, but I�m having a great deal of trouble understanding what precisely is going on.
Firefox can seem a bit glitchy when the crude graphics are in use. Like the mouse-overs which leave traces of the box behind when you move the mouse away. So I�m having to logout then back in if I�ve happened to close Firefox and want to reopen it...
This problem has been there since I upgraded to FC12 from FC11 (I use Gnome). There are two applications that launch automaticaly when I logon:A nautilus window pointed at computer:////RythmBox minimized to notification panel.And they aren't in System/preferences/startup applications
Finally solved a problem of wireless not working on my laptop. Now I have a problem where Firefox (3.6.4) starts up in off-line mode on each instance. I have to go to files menu and uncheck the work offline button before trying to go to any site. When I close firefox and later open it again, the work offline button is still checked.
Why is the unchecking of work offline saved between instances? Other settings and preferences are saved correctly. I don't have this problem in openSUSE 11.2 & 11.3 (same version of FF).

I updated Fedora 9 yesterday. I rebooted earlier and now the desktop starts for a very short time then disappears followed by a window opening and closing for a few goes. After this nothing! YUM does not work, neither does Firefox! A bug report informed me there was a Python problem but I can find no reference to this anywhere.
On certain sites like this one and Sears, after about 30 seconds the screen goes mostly white with a few black spots and the cursor turns into a big white square... for a few seconds. Afterwards, the site mostly returns, but all text on the screen is unreadable.It's not fuzzy, just weird, non-discernible symbols. 4/5 it goes back to normal if I log out and back in, though it does over and over if I revisit the same sites. It's been going on since about Monday.
rhythmbox isnt one of my startup programs, but for some reason it starts up every time i boot my computer. i even downloaded bootup manager and its not on that list either...
I can't find a way to use cheese in lucid. When I start it, it immediately starts flashing photos in countdown mode and repeats. I can't find a way to stop it except to use the hardware Fn-Esc to disable the webcam.
Because of the intermittent flashing and countdown 3-2-1 screens, I can't hit any buttons or menus.
Sometimes, in Firefox, after looking a video and closing the corresponding tab, a still picture of the video appears in other tabs, even in some other applications than Firefox (e.g. Terminal). I've installed the nvidia drivers on Fedora 14. They seem to work properly.
I downloaded a linux kernel from linux.org to check what is the kernel is about, i clicked on make_file or make sth .. and in the same session i downloaded a program called login window.
Now the problem is that the system boots ok, it gives me a msg saying that system is running in low graphics mode, when i press ok i get a few options like troubleshootin or restart x or use back up configuration .. and nothing works .. when i press start normally it never stops loading .. i can see the terminal when clicking ctrl + alt + f1,f2 ... but when i press ctrl + alt + f7 or return back to the desktop ubuntu is still loading .. it never stops loading.
And after using ubuntu for a while i really hate windows 7 .. i have it on the system, so is there a way to fix this problem?
Since a few weeks my PC have been working slow and the gnome system Monitor says that my cpu is working at 100% all the time. when I ran top command appears:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 770 root 20 0 4060 308 240 R 76 0.0 8:41.05 yes 919 root 20 0 4060 312 240 R 49 0.0 8:23.39 yes
Not sure if this belongs here or in the upgrade forum but since the upgrade went OK I figured I would post this here. I come from a RedHat background and am not too familiar with the Ubuntu/Debian way of dealing with service startup so this may be simple. I was running 10.04 LTS on a Sony Vaio and did a distribution upgrade to 10.10. When running 10.04 LTS the sshd daemon started on boot and I was able to ssh into the PC. Now that did the update I can start the daemon using the command "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start" but it doesn't start when the systems boots.
I even tried creating the entries in the /etc/rc.#.d directories like this: /etc/rc0.d/K20ssh -> ../init.d/ssh /etc/rc1.d/K20ssh -> ../init.d/ssh
I am using Fedora 11 on Intel Xeon Power edge 1900 server, but graphics is not at all working good. When I try to scroll firefox,it not scrolling smoothly, some time the entire screen gets freeze and I cant see the contents of the page. (I am unable to clearly describe how it looks ). how to check graphic drivers and its details?
If I let my computer sit for about 10 minutes, I lose all the windows I had open (gnome) and i get a message saying I'm running in low graphics mode. I have to restart X in low graphics mode to get it to work. i can't tell the difference, but as an avid writer, I often feel the need to get up and think about whatever I have open in oowriter.
I just upgrade to F14 from F10 on a dual montor setup. Firefox behaives differently on F14 than on F10. On F10 it followed the mouse pointer's location and show up on the correct monitor
When maximized at close, it is always displayed on the left monitor. When not maximized at close it will open on the monitor where the mouse pointer is located.
About minimize/maximize Firefoxe before closing and it seems to work in some case, but not for me.
I use Team Viewer a lot. In Windows, if you have it set to start with Windows, it starts with only an icon in the tray. On my daughters Acer netbook running Edubuntu Natty, when I set it to start with the computer it opens the full program. My question is how do I set it so it still starts but without being intrusive?

I am using centos 5.5 x85_64 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 The server is hanging at start up due to the follwoing error
udevd[746] nss_ldap reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 4 seconds) udevd[746] failed to bind to LDAP ser er ldap://192.168.0.100 cant contact ldap
It fails and then tries again, and again, each time increasing the sleep time. This is happening before network sercvices are started so ther is no way it can connect to ldap. anyone know a way to fix this problem?
When Firefox starts, it loads the home page (Google), but then it greys out and ceases operating - even the 'Well , this is embarrassing' page when it restarts after a forced close greys out. I've used Synaptic to re-install Firefox, but it makes no difference.At the moment I can't use Firefox as my main browser (which has all my mostrecentbookmarks/passwords etc in it), I'm using Google Chrome to post this.
I don't know if it's a bug or a "feature", but every time I start Firefox in Unity it opens in maximized mode. As for many people this is what they like it may be convenient for them, but for the more drag & drop people like me that like to have several open windows on one screen it is rather annoying. It means I must normalize the window every time I start the browser. Is there a way to stop this behavior?
I would like to send a specific option 15, domain-name, to a few clients on a network from a specific manufacturer. Usually all clients [URL] from the DHCP server, but when a client with mac address bellonging to manufaturer A asks for an IP address I would like to give them [URL] How would I go about doing this? Feels like it should be possible but I am not sure how.. I remember doing something similar in a microsoft DHCP server using vendor-identifier and passing out a vendow-specific option.

Just over the past few days Firefox 3.5.8 now starts as soon as the desktop has loaded - it's not set to do this in 'Startup Applications' - how do I stop it starting on boot?Also, over the same period, if I click a javascript link, nothing happens, it no longer opens the relevant page or image; so I click it again and still nothing, however several minutes later the page/image may open, but not always.Also if I close Firefox, then later click a link in an email it no longer opens Firefox - I then have to go into 'System Monitor > Processes', find and then 'end process' for Firefox (cause it's sleeping) before I can actually start it.I've gone in Synaptic and 'reinstalled' Firefox, but it made no difference. I cleared the cache and all cookies as well - could something have got into Firefox, and if so how can I fix it ?
I'm using karmic 9.10 32 bit with kernel 2.6.31-20-generic-pae update - it appears it's a javascript problem within Firefox as I can no longer open the popup window for online banking from my banks webpage link - I can do this in other browsers such as Epiphany, Google Chrome and Opera, but not in Firefox
I don`t know how did that happen but now after reboot my firefox starts with pocker and porno web-pages. I don`t play pocker, never did. Yes, a couple of times I did watch... But I didn`t install or change anything (extentions or add-ons) in firefox. I acrually didn`t change anything in system and now firefox starts up with those adverts. In settings of firefox I have "show last opened pages". Of course I didn`t close ever my firefox with a couple of adverts. And it does only after reboot. So, if I close it now and open again it will show the last pages. But after reboot ... Well, if I saw something like that in windows I`d think that there is a virus or something else like adverts-virus but I`m in kubuntu. Kubuntu 10.04.
After maximising Firefox in natty the top panel and sidebar are not accessible.when I press F11 the close max and min buttons appear in the top right corner, but the window is still full screen it makes it very hard to access other open windows. Has this bug been reported.
I recently installed Ubuntu 9.04 through WUBI, but when the installation finished and I went to turn the computer on to Ubuntu, I could not get graphics working. It would appear that the resolution has been set super-high somehow, because a message will pop up saying that I don't have enough video memory to run at the resolution I'm trying. I have tried xfix in recovery modeI don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I'm using a very old monitor.
I don't have any connection issues, but Firefox always starts in offline mode. I can uncheck it and everything works fine. If I close and reopen it Firefox switches back to offline mode.
The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this.

Okay, so I'm on Lucid Lynx, 64 bit. I installed libgvfscommon0 via synaptic manager, restarted, and it just sat on the Ubuntu screen loading. For a long time. I did a hard restart, and it said it was having an error with graphics, or somethig, and couldn't start into graphics mode. It asked if I wanted to try low graphics mode. I said yes.
Now I'm logged in but it's all text. (As you can tell, I don't have much experience with this stuff.) Would removing libgvfscommon0 unbreak my system?
Background: I was trying to get my Ipod touch to work, so I was following the directions at [URL]
On the third step, it gave me an error to the effect of:
"Unmet dependencies: gvfs: conflicts: libgvfscommon0 but 1.6.1-0ubuntu1build1 is to be installed E: broken packages"
That's when I went and installed it manually via synaptic manager, and then restarted and-kaput.
Should I try to use the command line to remove that package? How would one do that?
I am trying to install Xubuntu on a old toshiba satellite A55. I threw in the live CD and did the try without any changes to your computer. The starts to load, when it finishes loading, and I can finally start poking around it freezes right away. When it freezes the graphics get a bit messed up, little ghost images next to their actual image appear (like a second icon of the same thing slightly offset, and blue/white) I had the same problem with Mint. Only thing I have been able to get running is puppy linux.
