General :: Windows - What Tools Exist To Override An IP From A DNS Lookup Per Browser
Apr 25, 2011
Up front: the per browser (or per process, if you will) part is the important part here. I'm well aware of the /etc/hosts(and its Windows counterpart), but would like to avoid this system-global method.
What tools exist to override the IP for a given (i.e. configurable) name per browser? For Firefox there are "Modify Headers" and "Tamper Data". Both of them do not appear to be suitable for my case, because the DNS lookup is done before that. So I can only modify the HTTP headers (e.g. the Host header), but not influence the IP to which it gets sent. But manipulating to what IP it gets sent is exactly what I want to do.
I want to use a static ip address on my wireless network but when I click configure in network tools it keeps telling me The interface does not exist and to Check that it is correctly typed and that it is correctly supported by your system
I'm looking to install a Linux distro on my Windows 7 machine. Could anyone suggest any tools to handle the multiboot? (I may install 2-3 distros to try out)
I installed Fedora Core 13 x86-64 from the installation DVD and picked the "Software Development" installation. I notice that the Applications->System Tools menu doesn't have "File Browser" on it.
Nautilus is installed, so I can create a launcher for it. I'm merely curious whether this is a change or bug in FC 13? Or should I suspect that I myself deleted the file browser launcher accidentally? The machine is a laptop and I find the mousepad awkward to use.
When I try to save a new or edited file via OO I get the following error
Error savind the document doc: /c/windows/doc.odt does not exist
I assume that it is a mounting error but due to my newbieness dont know how to confirm this. I see that I can not copy to the windows drives via Dolphin either.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.0.4. I'm running a background process on system startup (Selenium) that needs to launch browsers (e.g. Firefox, Google Chrome). What settings do I need to enable in order to do this? Currently, even if I SSH in as a user, I'm not able to launch a browser and get this error ...
Code: selenium@selenium-chi:~$ /usr/bin/google-chrome No protocol specified
(chromium-browser:2156): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0
I have a file consisting of unique IP addresses - one per line I want to find the name of the host for each address. I tried the following:
Quote:
nslookup < file_name
This worked except it gives me a lot of extraneous information such as the servers providing the answers. This is too much information for me and would simply like each line of IP numbers to be replaced with a domain name. I tried using the same strategy using host and hostname and dig but I must have given the wrong command as I had no results.
Linux Mint Debian Edition x64 is installed and running quite nicely. But as most 64bit users know, you have to take care of the 32bit libraries in order to run alot of software....well, only if you need to run 32bit software.
So, in practice, the first steps are to install ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk. That's the foundation. But sometimes that isn't enough....so, depending on your application, you have to discover it's dependencies....via 'ldd'.
For whichever libraries are required, I head over to the Debian 'testing' respository (which LMDE is based off) and search. So after satisfying the dependencies it should be good....take the following as example:
However, when trying to run the program the following error occurs:
Code: xxx@xxx ~/Floola $ ./Floola ./Floola: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib32/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_date_time_unref So from some research, this indicates an issue with a date stamp/version conflict...if this is incorrect, ...this is part of the learning process.
Anyway, this error occurs with other 32bit software i'm trying to run.
The strange thing, though, is that i've done a fresh install of LMDE and ran the same process of setting up the 32bit libs as I did before....but this time I get this error.
using Ubuntu file browser, I browsed my Windows network and logged on to a Windows PC. Now Ubuntu file browser shows me "C$ on WinPC" as a folder. I can open it, read/write files, etc.But from bash prompt, I don't see anything of type CIFS/SMBFS listed in the output of "mount". Only the usual suspects (like local CDROM). How can refer to Windows files from Linux commandline?
So I am reaching an unfortunate conclusion. I asked this of google and got no straight response so I conclude that it is impossible. taking a look at GParted with my 10.4 boot disk, I see
/dev/sda1 NTFS 74GB boot flag and unallocated unformatted 7.84GB no flag So I assume that that 8gb used to be ubuntu.
In the process of trying to fix things, the computer no longer boots windows.
I am trying to make a multipass USB flash drive which basically turns say a bootable live iso into a flash drive, but many of them at once and accessing them using GRUB. The only issue I am having is I have to do this in Windows. So I am currently using my VM to do it and the Grub installer and petousb tool are not recognizing ANY drives at all on the system. I can use my usbs on the VM though.
where are the interface configurations (set by ifconfig, not the static ones) stored? I'm asking because I'm trying to understand, more broadly, the order of IP address lookup. If I ping the local machine (localhost, or one of the interfaces) no messages get sent out (at least according to wireshark), so some local lookup must be taking place.
As the thread-title reads I'm looking for an app that helps me to create a bootable usb-stick with Windows XP on it for my girlfriend who wants to dualboot Windows for school work.Is there any app that fulfills my need? Or am I forced to use the command-line with fdisk or something? (an in case, what should I do?)
This package contains tools to manage Debian based XEN virtual servers.
Using the scripts you can easily create fully configured Xen guest domains (domU) which can be listed, updated, or copied easily.
Homepage: [url] in the above output I am getting a line Conffiles and then you can see a series of /etc what are that and is it an error or some conflict?
It seems my laptop (an Acer Aspire One AOA150) runs out of MTRRs at boot. I've done some googling on the problem and read that people recommend turning on MTRR sanitizing to fix it, however, it still occurs. I'm running Arch Linux (but that shouldn't matter). You can see that I have enabled MTRR sanitization here:
I set my user as no login my accident, I am assuming, and now after a re-boot I can't login to the desktop and do anything... is there a way to override this?
I am using FC15.I need a kernel with a different configuration - with the "Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)" option in the Processor Type and features menu. I need this to support my firewire audio device. I would like to build a new kernel RPM from the SRPM so that i can keep a clean system with RPMs for all files, and I don't really want to manually override the kernel bypassing RPM.I am following **exactly** the process described there - I install the SRPM, unpack the source, then use the starting sample config files in the BUILD folder to create a new customised .config file with the new option, then copy this back to the SOURCE folder.
This works perfectly if I make a standard kernel. But I cannot get the process to work if I change the config file. Every time I compile I end up with exactly the standard kernel -- a vanilla i686 kernel, without my custom config.I believe the problem is that when I run rpmbuild to compile the kernel, this process overwrites my config option. I found that there is a script (merge.pl) which creates new config files dyanmically for all kernel options based on fragments in the SOURCE folder. It looks like the script never uses the config file that I am putting into the SOURCE folder.The wiki page suggests using this command to copy my custom config file cp .config ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/config-`uname -m`
How would you make NIS user information override local user information on client systems? This is what I think is right? Add nis on the passwd registration file on the second line Is this correct?
I'm learning to configure tftp-server and using vi editor - google search not helpful at least what comes up first - maybe different in Fedora ?
[url]
Code:
But . . . vi editing etc/shadow I get . . . E45: 'readonly' option is set (add ! to override)
In INSERT MODE - do I add ! as !wq instead of :wq as I found in google search (that's NOT working) - - or - do I add ! on the line to set tftp server password to * -or - what?
Recently I encountered a problem with a triple-monitor setup where the EDID was rejected by the nvidia driver (version 195.36.0, claiming that the EDID checksum was invalid. The maximum resolution that the driver would allow was 640x480. Searching through the X logs (/var/log/Xorg.0.log), I found the following message:
Code: (WW) Jul 26 21:37:57 NVIDIA(GPU-0): The EDID read for display device DFP-0 is invalid: the (WW) Jul 26 21:37:57 NVIDIA(GPU-0): checksum for EDID version 1 extension is invalid.
I just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 from 9.10, and one of the first things I did was to find a nice desktop theme. I tried several from gnome-look.org and eventually settled on one called "the days of grace"
Anyway, somewhere along the way, while trying out themes, I used a script provided by a theme author which installed the theme automatically, which had undesirable results. I don't remember the theme that did this, so I'll just call it theme x. The theme x script somehow made firefox use theme x instead of the default firefox "tango" theme, and now the tango theme is not available, because the theme x theme supersedes it.
The theme x does not show up in ubuntu's appearance preferences, but somehow it looks to be linked to the theme I chose, "the days of grace." I can switch to a default ubuntu theme (Ambiance, Radiance, etc.) and I have my firefox tango theme back.
Does anyone know how I can delete this theme x theme, and get back the tango firefox theme?
The necessity to use podcast in itunes daily puts me in XP which I seldom used.So how does one with as little work as possible move those bookmarks to favorites in XP.
I'm posting this here because I have no idea how to address this issue. I have an Ubuntu 11.04 with Windows XP on VirtualBox, Firefox 5 on both machines (virtual and real).I thought my connection was slow when I realized that the browser in VB was much faster than the one in Ubuntu.The problem doesn't seem to be on firefox because Chrome also is slow (I haven't checked Chrome in XP-VB).When I type an address in Firefox Ubuntu it takes a long time to show the page and sometimes the whole browser gets stuck for somewhere around a minute.
