Ubuntu :: 2nd Instance Of Firefox Does Not Obey GTK2 Customizations
Mar 15, 2011
On Ubuntu 10.10 I started a 2nd instance of Firefox using the command: Firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote &Created a new profile and everything works smoothly except for the fact that this instance of FF does not obey by GTK2 customizations that I have placed in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.Moreover, only SOME of the customizations are not obeyed. For example, the vertical scrollbars are supposed to be on the left, but they are on the right. The scrollbar arrows are together (Mac-like) as specified, so is the scrollbar width.The first instance obeys all customizations with scrollbars on the left.

I have KDE 4.4 and Firefox 3.6. Whenever I click a link from a plasmoid widget, it tries to open Konqueror and another instance of Firefox. The page actually loads in the opened Firefox window, but the task bar shows an instance of Konqueror and another instance of Firefox, that keeps loading for a while then close. See image below:
I currently have setup the browser default application as "firefox". If I set this option to use the default application, it opens in Konqueror and I don't see additional windows in the task bar. If I change the option to "firefox %u", then it exhibit the same issue, but the process is much faster, so the loading windows don't stay for long in the task bar. Additionally, it opens the link on a new Firefox window and opens the page twice. Although Konqueror is not loaded, the bouncing icon next to the mouse pointer shows up and stay for a while.

e.g.: I don't want to use Firefox Add-ons, and I need to be logged in several places [via HTTPS in ff], but it requires several proxys (so I don't want to install e.g.: foxyproxy).How can I exactly start several Firefox instances, so that I could use several proxys?

I installed CentOS 5.3 without major problems, and customized the installation to my heart's content, but I still do not have flash plugin active when I first open firefox. I have to close the first firefox window and from the second instance of firefox, the flash plugin works without any problem.
Here is my setup:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042718 CentOS/3.0.10-1.el5.centos Firefox/3.0.10
Kernel: 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.centos.plus, x86_64.

I have an script called conection located in /etc/ppp ( /etc/ppp/conection)The content of the scrips is:
pppd call isp Running it by hand, it dials out to my ISP and fetch all my email from different accounts and turn-off the link. It works great. I decided to automate the process using the cron.
The problem is when cron execute it at the specified time, nothing happens. It doesn't even dials out. I checked /var/log/cron and cron says It was executed. But it doesn't. I try again running the script by hand and works fine.

Player-Stage uses .cc files. I know how to compile them. But how do I actually execute my code? There is an output file generated. There is nothing in the .cfg file or in the .world file that specifies what program to use to run the robot. Or is it not specified in the world or cfg files?
Then how to make the robot obey my compiled .cc file? If this question is silly or if I am asking stupid questions

I have broken up my ubuntu installation by deleting some system files. I would like to reinstall on the same partition without formatting. Will this remove my installed software and configurations?

What happens if I restart GDM? And how do I do it? I think I did it once and I lost all my configurations, or maybe that was something else. i just dont want to have to redo all my customizations.

Ubuntu and other Linux distros have a limited useful life, for example Ubuntu only supports its current release until April 2012. If I decide to upgrade at that time, are my customizations lost, also add on software lost e.g. Codeweavers Crossover Office, and software running inside Crossover, etc.?

First thing I do when I install fedora is to customise a few things: default font sizes, number of workspaces (an their names), icons on the gnome panels etc. I was wondering if there is a way that I could just copy some file from my old install to the new one that would save me doing this manully each time. I think the main things I need are customisations done in System->Preference->Appearnece and customisations to the GNOME Panels

I need to replicate my Ubuntu laptop as a VirtualBox guest. To replicate in the guest the packages currently installed in my laptop, I plan to follow the recipe given here:[URL]What I need now is a way to identify all the packages that have customizations (e.g. changes to config files, etc.)What's the best way to do this? Can dpkg figure this information out and report it?

I've got a well loved, highly customised Gnome desktop scheme on Opensuse 10.3. I want to do a fresh install of the latest Opensuse but would like to keep the Gnome desktop and colour scheme from the old installation. I also want to have the exact desktop scheme on a new laptop that I intend to install with Opensuse. What file/folders do I need to back-up from the old installation?

Can I switch back to gtk2 without un-installing gtk+?

I can't run Ardour GTK2 in Ubuntu 10.04. JACK control is open, but sends error messages relating to not being able to connect to the JACK server whenever I try to press play.
Ardour says JACK is running in another user's profile, and I haven't even made it to the program yet. Error message also says audio controls could be messed up.

I've installed some custom programming fonts, namely Speedy.pcf. Its a .pcf, so I just coped it into /usr/share/fonts/misc, and ran mkfontscale, mkfontdir. I can use the font fine in 'xfontsel' and 'urxvt', but when GTK2 tries to render this font. its not even the same font, its just using some default font.

I am trying to theme my Gnome Shell experience, and I have little complaints for the Shell Theme/GTK3 side of things. However, even though there are GTK2 files included in the packages, my GTK2 apps are theme-wise broken. The colors are not on par and the buttons are not round as the theme should say, as it's still supposed to work since the files are provided.

I am writing a program in C to create a GUI application using GTK 2. My actual program is quite large, so I am using a modified version of the sample program from GNOME library for trial. I wish to increase the font size, and I have using PangoFontDescription. I have made that section of the code bold and italic below for quick reference to the code that affects fonts. But it does not make any difference. I am compiling the C file using gcc. The code is as follows(hello.c):
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <glib.h>
#include <gdk/gdk.h>

ive been trying to move myself away from windows, but it seems like ubuntu just wont have it, either that or win7 puts some curse on ubuntu Just done my 3rd(3rd time this error has now happened) fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 onto my second hard drive(first hard drive has win7), install seemed fine, boots up nicely into grub, got the internet working fine(worked out of the box, wireless), other programs run fine, all seems to be working wonderfully well!
Until I tried to update, started up the update manager, clicked on check, its finds loads of updates so I let it download them, downloads all 200+ updates, starts to install them.
The updates are installing fine but then about three quarters of the way along the progress bar for installing it gets an error.Heres the details it showed at the error: (the rest of the details just looked like successful installs/updates)
Code:
Setting up gtk2-engines-pixbuf (2.18.3-lubuntu2.2)
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
unable to fsync updated status of 'gtk2-engines-pixbuf': input/ouput error touch: cannot touch '/var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp': read-only file system

I'm using Debian Testing (Stretch, right now), and for a little while, a couple of months or so, QtCurve wasn't working properly (and lately, not at all) on GTK2.
After quite a lot of frustrated attempts, I think i fixed it in a way that's probably not recommended at all. I copied the file libqtcurve.so from Wheezy's version of gtk2-engines-qtcurve, and used it instead. It "just worked".
So, experiencing problems with QtCurve on GTK (most noticeably, being unable to set fonts and icon themes for GTK2 apps), or was it just an oddity of my install? My installs are often not all that standard, so I'm never sure. I'm asking because I have to figure out lots of things if I'm to make a bug report, and the bug may not even really exist . I think I'll even check before if the Testing package from another server works, maybe that's the problem.
I just found that this fix/version makes inkscape crash, would probably do the same to some other stuff -- newer versions (even with proper full package install) also have the same effect, except for that latest one, that doesn't seem to work in GTK2.
It's reported as a bug in Ubuntu. The "correct"/better fix seems to be commenting the font-related lines in /usr/share/themes/QtCurve/gtk-2.0/kdeglobals (Not to be confused with KDE's own file of the same name) on the newer package. That doesn't seem to make inkscape crash.
The same file also set the icon theme on GTK2 as Oxygen, commenting the icon line on the same file doesn't fix it, the correct theme apparently has to be spelled out, it seems it has to be for all users using any QtCurve theme, and GUI tools to change the icon theme won't work (but I haven't really tested the "native GTK" ones).

I downloaded a lot of gtk2 themes based on the Murrine engine (the 0.90.3-2 version) but they don't work.
When I select them with Lxapperance, it returns something like "gtkrc:91: error: unexpected identifier `gradient_colors', expected character `}'" for each line.

I'm trying to work with the pcsx2 dev to compile on fedora 86_64. [URL]. Unfortunately I seem to be missing a gtk2 / glib package as building stops with:

I am running Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud on two PCs, one as Controller, one as a node. I have downloaded two Ubuntu virtual machine images from the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Store and can successfully start instances of them with: euca-run-instances -k mykey emi-XXXXXXXX -t c1.medium
If I run this command I can see the instance is running: watch -n5 euca-describe-instances
I can ping the IP address of the VM instance from my Controller but I can't make an SSH connection to it. I'm following the instructions @ [URL] so I have tried connecting with: ssh -i ~/.euca/mykey.priv ubuntu@192.168.1.250
The result is: Permission denied (publickey).
If I try adding -v to the ssh command I get:
OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-6ubuntu2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Is there a way to identify and close a given instance of an open nautilus window from a command line?
Or can one identify via a command line that a given instance is open?
I'd like to tag one when it is open with a specific title and then if that is already open not open it again all from the command line.
