Slackware :: File Type Handlers In Firefox

Jul 16, 2011

I like to set firefox to ask me every time what to do when downloading a file. This works well if I want to save to disk, but if I want to use an application I don't get a dropdown with applications to choose, but a browse button which requires the application to be typed every time. To make it a bit clearer, if I have clicked on a pdf file I get this: [URL]. How do I get okular listed in a dropdown instead of the browse button?

Software :: Setting Association Between PLS File Type And A Given Media Player In Firefox?

Jun 11, 2011

Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0 When I click on some audio stream links in my web browser (Mozilla Firefox), the stream comes in a URL ending in .pls, usually listen.pls. As I want mplayer to play it and not the default player, I intend to make the first the default one. In Firefox (2.0.0.4) I can do Edit>Preferences>Content>File Types>Manage and change the actions associated with each file type. However, if the type is, say, PDF, I can can only change the action if a PDF file has anytime been downloaded. So, the same goes for a PLS file.

You have an example of the kind of link I talk about here: [URL] In the case of a radio broadcast audio stream, I am not downloading it, I think. At least, the Download window does not open. The Download window not having open itsef, the PLS type does not appear in the window Edit>...>File Types>Manage leads to. And so, I cannot change the action. The action would be 'Open them with this application': mplayer.

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't View PDF In FIrefox When File Type Is Application / Octet-stream

Oct 23, 2010

In Firefox, when I try to download a PDF document from a particular website, I get the message, "Unable to open document. File type unknown (application/octet-stream is not supported.)" Yet the same PDF document loads fine in Konquerer. Am I missing a plug-in or something?

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) and Firefox 3.6.11, which has an entry for PDF document under Edit �> Preferences on the Applications tab that says, "Use MozPlugger 1.13.3...".

Slackware :: Adobe Reader 9 Associated Itself To Every File Type In Xfce 4.4

Feb 3, 2011

kernel 2.6.21.5, GNU/Linux (slackware 12.0). I had the bad idea of installing Adobe in my linux box and, as a result, even when I click on a .flac file the reader opens. What is bad about this is that Xfce help system is very poor. Menu bar>Help uses internet to open the site page, where there is very little help indeed. Right clicking, for example, an HTML file, I can choose the application to open it with and I'll be asked if I want this to be the default action. But for every file type I should be making this work! Perhaps deleting a hidden file in ~/ where xfce registered the associations. I do not want to uninstall Adobe as it is really fast scanning docs.

Ubuntu :: Changing File System Type To Another Filesystem Type - Does It Effect On Data?

Feb 4, 2011

In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5

previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal

After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data

By doing that

1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.

2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.

Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)

I had very imp data in d:drive

Fedora :: FireFox About:config \ When Type Something In The Address Bar That Is Not A Url?

Feb 6, 2011

I would like to set my FireFox up so that when I type something in the address bar that is not a url, it will automatically do a google search. I have done this before, but that was a while ago and I can't remember what settings to change in about:config.Currently, when I type something that is not a url, it performs a search and then automatically opens the first web page that it finds, like a "I'm feeling lucky" search. I just want to see a google list.

OpenSUSE :: Apache Redirect - Handlers ?

Nov 5, 2010

The previous version of one of my websites was static and so the URLs looked like this: [url]

A few months ago I re-did the site to be completely dynamic. There are no individual pages for product reviews, just one which pulls the right data from a database. So now, my URLs look like this: [url]

Some fellow ex-googler who specialize in SEO told me that the previous URL scheme was better for search engines because it had the product name. Of course, I have set up redirects from the old naming scheme to the new one but what I would like to do is have 'review.php' handle the request for 'review_XXXX_YYYY.php' without actually doing a redirect... and do this for past and future products. I don't want to have to actually create all these 'review_XXXX_YYYY.php', there would be hundreds, just make it seem like they exist to visitors.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Determine File Type Of Any Of Video File

Oct 14, 2010

I am writting a script to allow uploading of certain files. I want to limit the files by their filename and mime type, and by making sure the two match up.The first thing I need to do is make sure I've got all the mime types I need added. I have never done this before, but I understand that 'file' (which is what PHP's mime-type finding is based off of) uses magic databases that tell at which point in the file should have signatures of the filetype.

My trouble started when I was unable to determine the filetype of any of my video files. Currently, I have some .MOV and .MP4 files that I am using to test.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Covert Video File To .asf File Type?

Jan 24, 2011

I want to be able to play a video file on my pda(Tungsten T5) but from memory the only video file i have seen playable on it was the asf file that is used when it starts up/reboots. I tried other file types in the past that were suggested in maybe a manual or forum or something but they never worked/played. I think it is because of the player installed and i tried installing another player but from memory that didn't install properly or just did not play anything. So if anyone knows of a way to convert files maybe using winff or mencoder i would love that info. I have been googling and have found nothing specific to what i am asking. I do not see anything in winff to convert to asf and cannot remember ever using mencoder.

Ubuntu :: Custom Url-handlers Fails To Register In Browsers

May 4, 2011

Operating System: Ubuntu 11.04 w/ Unity-2D

I had serveral custom url-handlers setup using gconftool-2 in my old Ubuntu 10.10 setup, but now after reinstalling and updating to Ubuntu 11.04 I can't get a single one to work with Chrome (11.0.696.57) nor other browsers like Midori.

The only solution was to switch to Firefox and setup them manually using network.protocol-handler*

It seems (on the surface) that Chrome insists on opening the links with xdg-open (and if I remember correctly in Ubuntu 10.10 Chrome said it opened the links using the apps set in gconf), but xdg-open only supports the most common http* and ftp* does it not? - Just learned that xdg-open is the default handler for all urls.

I've tried everything, including searching through Chrome's config files, reinstalling Chrome, and tested changing the paths to my apps - but without any luck.

Note that I'm talking about links in Google Chrome, Firefox on the other hand doesn't even check the url-handlers so I had to set them up manually using about:config > network.protocol-handler*

So they work in Firefox when added, but in no other browsers.

Google Chrome opens the links with xdg-open [url] as depicted in the attacheds screenshot, but this throws in error, found in .xsession-errors:

Code:
gvfs-open: svtrip://example.com/: error opening location: The specified location is not supported

Slackware :: Kernel Tries To Mount Wrong FS Type?

Aug 13, 2010

I just installed Slackware 13.1 x86 on a new laptop (you probably remember me from my audio post). I am having one other issue. My root file system is formatted as EXT4. When my computer boots, it tries to mount it as EXT3 then EXT2, fails both types and then tries EXT4. Here are the messages.

Code:
EXT3-fs (sda2): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
EXT2-fs (sda2): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
EXT4-fs (sda2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
So, eventually / is mounted correctly, but I think this is slowing down my boot time. Does anyone know how to fix this.

Slackware :: Mime Type Associations For Office Files

Oct 22, 2009

I installed MS office 2003 via wine on Slackware 13. I need to know how to associate files with the right Office (msword, msexcel, msppt) program. I made launcher scripts that can launches office files from the CL, but the user on this computer will want to be able to just double click a file in dolphin and have the right office program come up.For some reason all office files show up as x-ole-storage instead of application/msword or something similar. So, even if I tell Excel to associate with that file, it will do it for Word and PowerPoint files as well.

.ppt, .doc, and .xls extensions were configured via the KDE file associations panel, but this did not help. I played around with the raw files under ~/.local/share, but I did not find the solution.The version of WINE is 1.1.24 (built from SBo SlackBuild).
