Software :: Wine Set It As Default Handler For Many Mime-types?
Dec 24, 2010
I don't have wine installed. But I use teamviewer [URL] to remote support my friends. Teamviewer provide an "linux version" using wine wrapper. Every time I run it, some mime types such as .jpg, .wmv, .txt, .ini, v.v... was set to be handle by a "A Wine application". So, nothing happen when I open those file, I have to reset their handler to proper linux application.
1. How can I completely remove those "A wine application" handler? Is there a tool, or a settings applet in gnome that allow me to do that. Currently, I have to find those files in nautilus, right click and change the open with settings, that's frustrated.
2. Can I lock mime type handling settings from being changed by some application? Or even lock it from any changed at all? I don't mind remove the write permission from some settings file, I won't likely to change my current mime type handling settings in near future.
associate html attachment in emails with Firefox and tried to edit mime type extensions in Thunderbird through Edit/Preferences/Attachments/Download Actions/View & Edit Actions but it is empty and there is no way to add extensions there. Is there a different way to do it? I tried to choose Firefox while opening the attachment. It works but does not remember it for further actions.
Files downloaded with Firefox, Chromium, Miro etc. will not open correctly. Clicking to open the file (e.g. jpg or ogg) should result in the file opening with eog or audacious. Results - from Nautilus this works correctly, however from other applications the result is a Nautilus window. Placing a file 'test.torrent' on the desktop and using terminal to do
Code: gnome-open test.torrent or Code: xdg-open test.torrent results in the same behaviour. However, simply clicking the file in Nautilus opens it in Deluge (correct behaviour).
I'm trying on getting the MIME types setup correctly for Apache/MediaWiki. I think I've modified every config file known to man to no avail. Here's some info on what I've got going on. I'm trying to get the Office 2007 MIME types configured for MediaWiki 1.14 so that we can upload/download the files. Out of frustration/lack of need I went the less secure route and I modified the LocalSettings.php config file to disable MIME type verification for uploads.
Code: $wgVerifyMimeType = false;
This works great for the uploads, and I can upload .DOCX, .XLSX, and .PPTX all day long, however when downloading them, they download as a .ZIP file with all the XML info inside of it. No biggie for me personally as I can just rename .ZIP to .DOCX and it works fine, however for the average user it's not going to fly. So, I figured that MIME types would be the source of my pain and started doing some research.
I have modified the following config files to include the MIME types listed below. /etc/mime.types /var/www/.htaccess (created to try and force them) /var/www/mediawiki-1.14.0/.htaccess (created to try and force them) /var/www/mediawiki-1.14.0/includes/mime.types
Code: application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12 .docm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document docx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template dotx application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12 potm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template potx application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12 ppam application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12 ppsm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow ppsx application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12 pptm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation pptx application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12 xlam application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12 xlsb application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12 xlsm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet xlsx application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12 xltm application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template xltx It doesn't seem to matter where I put the code, I can't get the MIME types to register with Apache/MediaWiki.
I would like to know if there exists an article explaining how update-alternatives integrates with Freedesktop.org MIME. How do these systems coexist? How do they cooperate? Lately KDE and GNOME apps seemed to agree on default applications more and more; it seems there still exists an ordering problem [URL] , section Default application ordering), but things are generally working.
However, now I notice that some applications (which I've known for a long time to not be very Linux desktop friendly, I'm looking at Mozilla first, but this time I can't blame them without reason) use some totally different system, Alternatives. The example that comes to mind now is Icedove. Is there going to be a consensus on the default system or we'le have different applications using different systems?
I installed a trial copy of Anquet Map V06 under Wine then decided to remove it. Afterwards I could find many remnants associated with the Anquet program which I've deleted. Except what remains is an association between my .gpx files with Anquet and that includes and any new gpx file I download. My interpretation is that during the install process an association has been created with the gpx file type and the Anquet map program. This is what I want to stop. If I download a .gpx file and look at it's properties I see- Type: GPX File -Anquet Mapsv06 (application/x-wine-extension-gpx) I found this file and it's contents-
Running "sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" and rebooting didn't remove the association. How can I stop the Anquet name making as association with my gpx files?
I can't setup or change MIME-Types in Mate/Caja (filemanager)
I use MATE Desktop on Debian 8.1 - File Manager is Caja (1.8.2) - I put in a USB Stick whit Pics. In the Popup Window they came up, normally i can setup a Default behavior for Pics, Music ... But, in my Window the Options are not available. (Grey) The same in "Settings" from Caja (Datenträger) Data Medium.
I reinstall OpenSUSE (For whatever reasons) where I prefer having VLC as my default video player, for every media type (.wmv, .mkv, .avi, .mpg).
I realize that I can go into Configure Desktop > Advanced > File Associations, but then I have to individually select each (quite cryptic) media type, and manually change my preference.
This should be way easier than it is (I'm computer literate, but can you imagine a new user trying to change these settings?)
i've iregulare situation here i use LXDE and when i use chromium (for ex)and download a jpg file and then open it it starts FIREFOX and then asks me to open it i want chromium (for ex) to open that file type directly with images viewer another example when i installed awn and made some favorite applications shortcut on it when i try to open those shortcuts it opens firefox again and ask me to download or open O_O how can i remove firefox from all this proccess ?
I would like port 80 to have a small daemon running on it that detects HTTP traffic and sends a small redirect response, and any other traffic begins streaming data from my VPN daemon. I was wondering if this has already been made, or any kind of technology for detecting types of traffic and allowing you to run multiple types of servers on the same port.
I'm trying to use "netlink" to get ip address of a Linux box. But the linux/types.h included from "linux/rtnetlink.h" introduced many conflicting type declarations with "sys/types.h".
#include <rtnetlink.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { return 0; }
I'm using Grsync and I want to be able to plug in any drive into my laptop and run rsync on it to back up all the user documents on there to another external hdd and to exclude everything else. Working on the principle that user documents don't always appear where we'd expect I want rsync to look through the whole drive and filter what it backs up by file type. I am only having partial success, however.
I am using the 'filter' option in the 'additional options' box. I am using the command Code: filter='merge /home/tim/Desktop/filter' and I am attaching the filter file I have written. (I have added the .txt extention to upload it).
I have tested this script on my home folder and here's what's going wrong. Rsync will copy the entire directory structure regardless of whether there are any files to be copied over in those directories. I am also getting only some file types getting included and not others. .odt and .ods files are copied, for instance, but not .doc or .rtf.
I recently installed an image editor that I am fond of via Wine. It works fine but now I want to make it the default program when I open an image. I know for most programs how to change this but when I installed this via Wine it is not listed as one of my options for other programs to open that type of file. How do I change the default program to open a file when it's not listed?
I have been using linux for a few months now and I love Ubuntu 9.10. I found a link to mspaint.exe and it works fine in wine. It can be found here: [URL]. I downloaded it, and then extracted the file to "/home/christopher/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Paint/". Then in that folder, I right click the file "MSPAINT.exe" and selected "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader" and it opens just fine and works perfectly.
I want to put it in the menu panel under "Applications-Wine-Programs-Accessories". I tried doing it by right clicking the menu panel and editing menus, but I dont know how to make the file "MSPAINT.exe" automatically open with Wine. For some reason, when I got Project64 and a few other apps I didn't run into this problem because they were automatically put into the menu and opened with Wine by default.
Something seems to be replacing some portions of the default gui appearance in gnome with the old win98 look... Wine maybe? I have wine installed and I use it for a few of my pld windows programs, but all the programs in the screenshot are native linux programs...
when I tried to install wine I got "Missing Dependency: wine-gecko is needed by package wine"so I looked for wine-gecko and download it but also when I tried to install it I got "Missing Dependency: wine-gecko is needed by package wine"it seems that I am in loop each package need the other what to do please?
I've ran into something rather odd. I've installed wine and Office 2007. If I am to open a office 2003 (doc) or office 2007 (docx) file, it will open wine and office 2007 to edit the file. This is the desired behaviour. If I am to open an office 2003 (doc) file in firefox, openoffice will be opened. If I am to do the same with an office 2007 (docx) file, wine and office 2007 will open.where to start to get wine/office 2007 to open files from firefox?
I'd like to propose the following program, which I might write if nothing like this already exists. It would be similar to the "script" program in that it will allocate a new pty/tty pair and start a new session. But unlike the "script" program, it will provide a means to have BOTH the normal terminal session going AND a script or input source to provide input. It could be used, for example, to pre-start programs inside the pty session, and at the end, let the controlling tty it was started in fully interact with it (something that can't happen if it was started with input piped from the script).
My design would allow running a control script right from the beginning, or at any later time. The control script can see output from the session, filter that output for the controlling tty to see, provide input, maybe even filter the controlling tty input, too. When the script ends, the session can remain for regular interaction. Also, an environment variable will be set in the session to allow programs inside the session to provide similar controls, such as feeding input. That environment variable might be a local port number to connect to, with an access key or encryption key, to provide input and/or control commands.
I have several uses for this. Many of those uses could be done using other tools, but not all the uses would hit the same tools. But by doing it all in a program like this, I see a great many of my uses all solved in a single project, even if it isn't the most elegant (but I see solving many problems with one solution as being its own kind of elegant).
I am looking for a good audio session handler. On ubuntu I have seen Ladish but it is a preview release. Is there a good audio session handler for openSUSE. http://ladish.org/wiki/demovideo
I recently installed openSUSE 11.3 (4 times, I think, which gives me always a new name for the "server" and in my terminal screen I continuously get this error: Message from syslcgd@linux-i4cz at Oct 12 06:21:57 ... kernel:[2866.05E384] do_IRQ: 0.91 No irq handler for vector (irq -1) the number after kernel: varies I then hit a few time son the [I]enter[I] key and then I get my linux prompt.
Assume: 1) Multi-cpu environment 2) Process that gets interrupted, is the same process that executes the interrupt handler, so I guess technically nothing gets interrupted except what the process was doing before, but it is still executing as it is executing the handler. 3) There is no top or bottom half, when an interrupt takes place the handler is invoked, executes, then return from interrupt, simple as that.
Why would sleeping the handler (puts in sleep queue, context switch to next runnable process) be a bad idea?
I want to define a simple error handler for a script. Image a script that does a few commands:
Code:
ls . cd .. touch ...
whatever, it doesn't matter. I want to define one error handler for the script, so if any of the steps error than the script is terminated and the error handler is run. I see the -e option to quit on errors, but I want a GOTO on errors.
Is it possible to connect a signal handler to a variable?So when the variable changes the signal handler is called.I have a vector containing strings which i want to parse when there are one or more available strings in the vector
I installed faenza icon theme and would like to have for my pdf docs only mime type (included in mime types/ icon theme), not a thumbnail. Is there some easy way to change this system wide? I tried this and similar suggestions found on net, but no go: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770142
