When I try storing bookmarks or bookmark folders it doesn't work.What the problem is is;they store for that very session, but when I restart, close, or re-open FF no bookmark /folders are saved anymore.I don't know if it's anything to do with write-permissions to the folders or anything but I still am not very used to ubuntu so don't really know what I'm doing very well.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've used Ubuntu one for file syncing on my work and home computer (started on 10.10 only recently upgraded to 11.04, work is XP) and while it seems a tad slow in syncing it worked okay. Though I've used alternatives because they seem more responsive.
Well I've recently upgraded to 11.04 on my comp at home and installed 11.04 on my lappy (new install). Both are 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Thought I'd start using the other sync features and see how it fairs.
Well files appear to be okay (though I haven't tested it thoroughly yet), but I cannot get firefox bookmarks or tomboy to sync at all. I've searched through the forums but it appears to be only comments about it not working, I've yet to see anyone with a solution. I've checked out .cache/ubuntuone/log and all the syncdeamon exception logs are empty. I also just threw a file into the Ubuntu One folder and it synced damn fast. so it appears the only issues is with the bookmarks and notes.
I'm trying out the latest Ubuntu and I'm having trouble transferring my bookmarks from my old hard drive.

My bookmarks tab doesn't have a manage bookmarks option. can someone tell me how to transfer them ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two Ubuntu Lucid Lynx computers, and I want to share files between them. Whenever I need some file, it's in the another computer. So what I want? I want that my PC's synchronize the files together: When I create a new bookmark (in Chrome) on computer X, it will appear in the computer Y's browser. I also have Documents-folder on both computers. When I put something in that folder I want it to be shown on the other computer's Documents-folder.

Last week my ubuntu 8.04 os got a Seamonkey browser update ( 70-80MB totally )which I was happy to get.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI've been contemplating making a device for my grandmother and I was hoping some body may be able to steer me in the correct direction for an element that eludes me. My Grandmother is now blind and so can no longer read but instead loves listening to audio books. The family have bought her many audio books but there's a problem. Many of the unabridged books come on several CD's which she tends to mix up when there's nobody around to help. I've tried ripping CD's to mp3 and this has helped a lot however we still have an issue. She can't see which book is which so may be in the mood for an Agatha Christie and end up with the Hobbit.
My thoughts have been make a minimal system combing Festive to read titles of the books in her library to her. The missing element I've been unable to find is an audio player that keeps a record of her position in each book. The idea of course being that she can continue each story from the point she left off, even if the system reboots.
I just recently figured out how to import bookmarks with FF4. Why did Mozilla see fit to Hide the "Organize Bookmarks" behind the "Show All Bookmarks" menu is beyond me?
Quote:
Click on "Bookmarks" ==> "Show all Bookmarks"
In the resulting dialog box click on: "Import and Backup"
Next, Click on "Import HTML"
In the resulting dialog box select the "From an HTML File" Radio Button
Now, navigate to the file that you saved previously, select that file and click on "Open".
A few seconds later all of your bookmarks will appear.
I have just completed a rebuild of my desktop PC Ubuntu install - switched from Lucid 64 bit to Lucid 32 bit. I connected to another PC with Vinagre (remote desktop viewer) and allowed it to save the connection as some name it created. Later after I noticed this I created a bookmark to the same PC with a name which I wanted. Now I cannot delete the original bookmark.
I have read about some bugs re. dealing with bookmarks in Vinagre. However, I have found no work arounds. Here is what I have tried:
1 - I did a complete uninstall of Vinagre and reinstalled
2 - Deleted .recently-used.xbel
The Vinagre bookmarks remained. Can someone tell me where Vinagre bookmarks are stored and perhaps how to delete one? If I cannot remove a single one I will zap all by brute force. Yes, I have everything backed up.
