Slackware :: How To Edit Firefox Source Files
Jul 5, 2010
In the Firefox source directory is a file called 'configure.in'. I simply want to make a small edit to this file to carry out a bit of experimentation. However, whether I use KWrite, KEdit or Kate, I run into the same problem that after I have saved the file, the build always crashes out like this:
Code:
root@Toods2:/usr/src/firefox-4.0b1.source/mozilla-central# gmake -f client.mk profiledbuild
gmake -f /usr/src/firefox-4.0b1.source/mozilla-central/client.mk build MOZ_PROFILE_GENERATE=1
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/firefox-4.0b1.source/mozilla-central'

My brother is thinking of installing Slackware64 13.1 on his laptop. He was wondering though how to configure his wireless card. How would he do this? He is using an Intel wireless card, but I am unsure of the exact model. Another question is would Wicd do this automatically or do you still have to use either iwconfig or wpa_supplicant and edit the corresponding config files?

I want to know if it is possible to edit the source code of the programs in Linux. Like, take the calculator for instance. If I want to add a user-defined function to it, how can I do it - if I can do it at all? In general, where and how can I look at the source code of such programs ?

I need to switch the "lucid" parts in my ppa's to "maverick" in the format that gedit uses. I believe this will fix some of the software conflicts I am having.

So I've been trying to get GIMP 2.7 installed on my Slackware64 13.0, but I'm having some issues. After some extensive finagling and dependence findings, I got it to configure correctly, however, the make fails with libtool trying to find libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la:
libtool: link: cannot find the library '..//usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gdk-pixbuf/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la' or unhandled argument '..//usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gdk-pixbuf/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la'
libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la is in /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/, but for whatever reason, editing the makefile doesn't change this. (Yes I have the right permissions to edit it). First of all, why is it searching for /usr in the top build directory, and second, why doesn't an edit of the makefile work?

Is there a method at the command line to copy files from one location to another and retain the source files group and user?I'm migrating some MySQL files from one machine to another.I want to back-up the original files in the directory presently. They have owner:group of mysql, some have owner:group root:mysql and so on. To copy them under cli or Nautilus everything changes to root for I execute sudo cp or gksudo nautilus and copy via gui.
Since it is MySQL data I could simply do a dump of the database and restore it on the other machine. But there's about 20 db's and I want to do this via a copy for it will be faster - at least that is what I think.

If you know Slackware you know Linux. If you know Red Hat you only know Red Hat".Now I made a decision to install Slackware near Ubuntu and Xp.I've installed Slackware with LILO.Well LILO didn't add Ubuntu.So I needed to install from a LiveCD GRUB.Now I've got another problem:GRUB didn't add Slackware.I made a research and realised that I must to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. This is my hard disk(XP:sda1,sda5;Ubuntu:sda7,sda8;Slackware: /->sda9 /home->sda10): [URL] This is general code for adding an OS to GRUB:
title Slackware
root (hd0,x)
kernel /<vmlinuz_filename> ro root=/dev/hda<partition>
initrd /<initrd_filename>
[code]....
How can I find initrd for Slackware and I'd like to know how I must to write correct code to add Slackware to GRUB?

Before installing Fedora on my laptop I backed up my files onto a USB key. I wiped the hard disk and installed Fedora 12. I copied my files back to my home directory - but all the text files are now binary! Any ideas why this would be or how to fix it??---------- Post added at 10:54 AM CST ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM CST ----------Hmm it seems that only some files are binary. Looks like some .tgz files are corrupted too.---------- Post added at 11:02 AM CST ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM CST ----------Damn - I wonder if the files weren't completely written to the usb key before I removed it. I don't remember their being a safe mount option in Fedora 10 - but I definitely unmounted it before removing it from the laptop.

I have lots of files I need to put in my /var/www/ folder (Apache http server). I thought I understood how to edit it:For single files: sudo cp file /var/www/For opening files: sudo gedit /var/www/fileBut I can't use the above for a thousand files, and I really can't afford the learning curve of BASH scripting at this time. So if there a way I can do this the GUI way (drag and drop and all that) without having to add myself in the group permissions for the /var/www/ folder?

First of all I want to say that I'm new to Linux. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LL and i want to create a html page, in terminal mode, but firefox does not display it correctly. i used this tutorial, http://linuxcommand.org/wss0030.php , but it seems that whatever i do, when i run the page with firefox (x@ubuntu:~/bin$ firefox page.html), the page displays the #!/bin/bash line, it doesn't interpret variables, reserved words, or any other special characters ( $, <<- ). I've tried to change the encoding in firefox from Unicode-8 to Unicode-32 but no luck

I use a linux machine at work and a mac at home. I can ssh from my machine at home to my work machine. But the only editor that I have access to on the command line then is vi, which I don't like.
Is there a way to use gedit on my mac to edit files remotely over an ssh connection?
This page says that it can be done, but I think that it assumes that you are using gedit on ubuntu. On my mac (os 10.5.8) I don't have the "bookmark" option when I click "connect to server".

Got my T2i a few days ago. Shot a bunch of short MOV files. Trying to do simple edits like trimming the beginning and ends. Nothing else.
Cinelerra 4 - no sound
Kdenlive - aside from crashing all the time, renders with unacceptable artifacts.
Lives - spends a long time making proxies then crashes
Avidemux - crashes on save/render
Kino - plays back first frame then last frame. Kinda funny but not.
Open Movie Editor - Does nothing at all
Open Shot - Can't find any libs
PiTiVi - Tools? We don't need no stinkin' editing tools.
Will Lunmeria be released before I die?
Will Lightworks be released before I die?
Is it time to retrench back into Windows 7 where there are numerous editors that actually work? Sure, costs money but the free stuff just dont work.
BTW, VLC plays the files back beautifully -- no skips, no jerks, sound completely in tact.

I have a directory with hundreds of html files.
For all the files I have to:
- delete all the row from the beginning of the file to the sentence "<img src="immagini/_navDxBottom.gif" />".
- delete all the rows from the sentence "<br clear="right" />" to the end of the file.
How can I do that?
