i have two systems here. ubuntu 10.04 work laptop and ubuntu 10.10 desktop at home.on the desktop at home: i have unusually slowness with firefox. it's as if i'm on 28k. but the thing is, my ping speeds and chromium speeds are wicked fast. if i click out of my browser and open applications on my desktop, they are incredibly fast. all of this suggests my connection is good and my system is not overloaded. firefox on 10.10 so far has just been a huge fail. even with the latest ppa, it's unusually slow. i can literally sit there for 2 to 2.5 minutes until videos finally loads with my favorites listed below. chromium does not exhibit this.
on my laptop: while firefox and chromium both work on my laptop, i cannot log into my web site via wp-admin on chromium. it simply says the login.php link is down or temporarily unavailable. yet if i go to my desktop and use chromium, i log right in. or if i use firefox, i log right in. i cleared the entire cache and browsing history blah blah you name it, yet it still acts up. i'd really kind of like one browser that, oh.. i don't know? a browser that works? something to use on either computer? any input on what could be causing this or how to fix it?
After upgrading to 10.04 on a server, MySQL does not start. I have tried multiple things from posts. Nothing has worked. So, I down to reinstalling MySQL. That doesn't even work. It freezes w/ the following log:
Setting up libdbd-mysql-perl (4.012-1ubuntu1) ... Setting up mysql-client-core-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.1) ... Setting up mysql-client-5.1 (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.1) ...

Once more I'm trying to do something that is necessary, yet contrary to design. I used to have a proper server, but that gave up the ghost. So right now I make do with a laptop, into which I have plugged a USB harddisk. That used to be my backup of /home, but because I run XP on my workstation (which, sadly, I cannot avoid if I want to get paid at the end of the month, but mainly use to access my Linux server) that USB disk has an NTFS file system. Which is useful, given the fact that sometimes I have to take it with me and plug it into a Windoze box.
When my server passed on to that great server room in the sky, everything went with it, including the data volume. So what I did, this being an emergency, was to plug the USB disk into a spare laptop, install Karmic Server onto it, and edit /etc/fstab to mount the USB disk on /home, using the appropriate uid/gid to mount it under the ownership of my own user account.
Fine - so far so good. This gives me /home/share which is shared as a public samba mount, and /home/frankvw which is shared as a password-protected directory. It also gives me /home/www which is not shared, this being the Apache docroot. I have proper access to everything, and the people rejoice.
Now for the dirty business. To make life easier, I have a symlink 'www' in my home directory:~/www -> /home/wwwwhich works fine from the Linux command prompt (an "ls ~/www") lists the docroot, and "cd ~/www" gets me there) but of course Samba refuses to play ball here. From a Windows client I can see 'www' in my home dir but cannot access it. From a Linux workstation (Intrepid Workstation) in Nautilus I cannot even see 'www' in my homedir - apparently Nautilus is aware of the dirty deeds going on here and prudently hides it. What can I do (short of rearranging the file/directory structure on my USB disk which I'd rather not do) to work around this (otherwise very sensible) restriction?
Today I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro L510 and after much screwing around I have Ubuntu installed kinda. Installing Ubuntu is generally a breeze and I have three machines running 8.04 pretty much rock solid unless I fiddle with 'em, but; I download and boot from a 10.04 LTS cd and gets to the new purpley splash with a couple of icons down the bottom, then goes into endless full-screen terminal scrolling and the computer heats up. So I tried 8.04. Not much different. I try 10.10; same as 10.04 LTS. So I try the alternate installer rather than desktop but that crashes too. I finally find a website suggesting to run the alternate installer, hit F4 and choose 'failsafe graphics' (which wasn't there for me) and then F6 and select everything but 'Free Software Only'. Hey, worked and I get through the text based installer no problem, restart and I'm looking at a grub2 menu and can select Windows 7 or Ubuntu. Cool.
So I select Ubuntu but goes to a text based, command line Ubuntu. Hasn't loaded a desktop. I try to 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' from the CD but after much scrolling tells me not there. It is telling me I have umpteen updates I should get and asking me to insert the CD, which is fine as the machine is not online, but then can't find what it's looking for.
So I've gotten this far. My router is not set as a DHCP server; all machines have static IPs which is why this new one is not online. Would the simple answer be to plug it directly into the internet gateway router and do the updates from there, ubuntu-desktop included?
I am trying to configure my android phone (rooted Eris running kaossfroyo 2.2) to be used as a midi controller. Which I am having enough trouble with as it is but it has raised an annoying issue that occurred a month ago when I used the phones tethering network with my laptop. After connecting the laptop to the phones network (either tether, or an Ad-hoc network created using the network manager) I am unable to switch to other networks. In other words when I'm done with the phone-laptop connection I cannot connect my laptop to my home network! When I click on the other network connection I can see that it is attempting to connect in the upper right corner of the desktop (the network icon) but it will not make the connection.
What happens is that the network indicator will make the little circle graphic as if it is trying to connect but it never will display the other circle as green indicating that it has connected. but when I disconnect from the home network that is not connecting I will get a message underneath that will say that ad-hoc network disconnected! If I am switching from the android tether it will say Android-Tether disconnected etc. Even though when I click on network manager it shows that I am attempting to connect to the home network (labeled LIBERTY in my case) upon disconnection it shows the ad-hoc or tether connection being disconnected.
I am absolutely baffled by this! The issue persists even after deleting the ad-hoc connection from the wireless settings tab!!! I would speculate that for some reason the laptop is attempting to connect to the previous ad-hoc connection despite me wanting it to connect to LIBERTY. I am very confused and hope someone can lead me in the right direction.
i just updated from karmic 9.10 to lucid 10.04 using the online upgrade option. so far everything is working great. the only issues i am having seem to involve firefox. when i visit videos i get the message "your browser is no longer supported. please upgrade to a modern browser." i am running 3.6 "canonical" so it is "modern". i am able to watch videos after i close the message. it's just an annoyance to get this message every time i view a video.
next, is on some websites (like this one) it will not supply my login info. but on a few sites (like ebay) it does supply my login info. not sure why some sites work while others don't. the info is there when i look under my saved passwords....
I'm surfing along just fine when I select some link in my browser.The status line reports "... waiting for ..." and the browser seems to stall for a long time (minutes). Often, but not every time, I can select the STOP toolbar icon and reload the page. This time things work normally.
I have a similar but different malfunction running Evolution email connected to my hosted IMAP server. I select a message and see "... formatting ..." and then Evolution seems to stall for a long time (minutes). Rarely the stop-reload actions help reading email. Instead,all Evolution windows go dark grey and the entire desktop stalls.[Analysis -- It has the feel of a "network" issue provoking issues within Evolution itself rather than an Evolution-only malfunction.]
Watching the running system with 'htop' and similar, I do not see where some other application or service is sucking all of the available CPU time or such. [Analysis -- It has the feel that either the browser message or the email message were sent into limbo without reaching their intended destination. Stop-reload sends the bits to the right places and so I get results.]
For some reason, i cannot set my default browser to Chromium. Whenever i open up Chromium, it asks whether it should be the default browser or not. I say yes i mean "Set as default" But nothing happens. When i open it again, i am greeted with the same question again.
Ok so i have the tor browser bundle but when clicking start-tor-browser. I get : "Do you want to run "start-tor-browser", or display its content" ,"start-tor-browser" is an executable text file." So i click run but Vidalia doesn't start and nothing happens.
I have installed, un-installed several times but just won't run! Double click on icon gives spinning wheel for a few seconds then nothing!
(PS, it did run OK a few weeks ago, but I uninstalled it because of window buttons being on wrong side Would like to try again as this has been rectified)!
Is it possible to remotely access my Ubuntu PC through a web browser (preferably Internet Explorer)? I am currently using TSWeb through Internet Explorer at work to access my Windows PC at home. This is my only option as IS will not allow software installation on any PC's and Windows RDP is not available.
I have gotten onto ebay and they never know anything as they are MS lovers. They can't answer as to why Firefox in a linux enviro won't work properly. What happens is i go to set several things like a postal charge or weight of the parcel and then i save the listing but it doesn't save. So many things just don't save when i edit the listing a dozen times it still won't. I downloaded Opera last week and tried that out but that seems to also have problems. It won't let me use the 'return' function on the keyboard when i writing a description in ebay and i suspect it is not saving other things too. As Opera and Firefox are probably the other browsers i have used so far in my 3 years experience with linux i am not sure what to try next. I don't sell that much on ebay so i thought there might be some other ebay sellers on here that can tell me what browser works for them?
I tried a lot of web browsers, but I can't find a good one.
I want a web browser that: - can open most webpages and show all content including javascript, flash and whatever (unlike elinks which is text-only) - is controllable entirely by keyboard and preferably with vim-like controls. (unlike firefox, google chrome). - works out of the box (unlike uzbl) - is fast - is bugfree (unlike firefox and uzbl) - is configurable
So please recommend a good web browser and tell me what features would make a web browser good.
I used firefox 4 before I installed ubuntu onto my laptop, and since I didn't know how to upgrade to FF4 under ubuntu, I just installed google chrome instead.
Sometimes ..... videos crash when I go to a different tab and listen to it, and I've been wondering which is the best and most stable browser to use? Firefox sounds like a good deal, but I've gotten used to FF4's interface and would like to know how to upgrade
I have a problem with phpmyadmin. I use Ubuntu 10.04. I have already installed Apache, MySQL, and PHP. They are working properly. Finally I install phpmyadmin. Installation is successful by using command'apt-get install phpmyadmin'.I can't understand how to access phpmyadmin from browser. I type the URL... Browser show me file not found.

I've been having issues with my laptop. It's a Vostro 1700..My web browser runs very slow and every now and then the computer will become unresponsive. Sometimes it will not open application and will get: couldn't exe command GCACTOOL.I decided to go back to Windows XP to see if Ubuntu was the problem but it wasn't.I got error messages regarding the HD, soo I bought a new HD but the problem is still there.
wasn't quite sure how to search for this the question always seemed to be too long and i'd get nothing related to my problem. its not a huge problem, but if i could fix it, that's be awesome
there's websites, such as videos, that i can't choose anything in the actual media player... to be more specific, it plays just fine, but it i wanted to pause, turn down the volume, rewind, or skip ahead, nothing happens, it acts as though i'm not clicking on anything. i guess its not a big deal, but just a little annoyance.
I am looking for a method to run a shell script or open an application through the web browser.For example, open OpenOffice from the browser (without going through the menus).Is it possible?My ultimate goal to pass an argument through the browser to a script. I know it is pretty far fetched for my very limited abilities but I wanna try. For example I want to pass an URL or a text string from the browser to a shell script

I'm using Mozilla's new Mail. Shredder 3.0.5 Pre. I want to open a link in a mail message using my browser and it's asking to choose an Application. My question is.. Where do I find the executable file for Firefox, and what is the file name? I've searched all over my file system for it. Better yet, is there a way to search for the file location using the term?
Alright, I've looked through a many variety of forums to search for the answer to this problem and haven't found it yet. What is happening is during use of my internet browser, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, on Ubuntu 9.10 there are points in time, could be 10 minutes could be 3 hours, that the interface locks up. The mouse is the only peripheral that works, but nothing happens when clicking and the keyboard is locked as well.
Now I'm new to Ubuntu but not computers, I can work my way around Microsoft Windows and just recently took the jump to Linux and have been working myself in slowly. The problem I'm having seems to occur when using Java oriented websites, yet I can't figure out what the problem is, I've tried installing and re-installing java to no avail. My mind is boggled as to the cause of the problem, but I'm open knowing that there is a lot more to go in the troubleshooting than I'm normally use to.
Here's a listing of what is recognized on my computer:

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, and I can't open any folders. Nor can I put any files onto my desktop. I read on another thread that you should try reinstalling Nautilus, so I did that, and nothing changed. I also tried to open a folder in the Terminal, in this case the downloads folder, and I got this.
