Ubuntu :: Browser Launcher Script Stopped Working

Feb 20, 2011

I use several different browsers, and I don't have a lot of memory, so I try to only have one open at a time. I wanted web pages to open in whatever browser was open at the time, so I created a shell script and set it as the default browser. It checks to see if any other browsers are running, and if not, it opens the page in Swiftfox (an optimized version of Firefox). This worked for quite a while, but recently it stopped working. Now it opens URLs in Swiftfox regardless of what else is running, and I can't figure out why. As far as I can tell none of the process names have changed, and I haven't edited the script.

The script:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
if pidof swiftfox-bin
then swiftfox $*
else if pidof firefox
then firefox $*
else if pidof google-chrome
then google-chrome $*
else if pidof opera
then opera $*
else swiftfox $*
fi

Debian :: Browser Stopped Working After Reconfiguration Of Interfaces

Nov 5, 2015

My Iceweasel is not consistently opening pages. This is new behavior after changing the /etc/network/interfaces file for setting up bridging. The home page is advanced google search. When Iceweasel opens to google, I get a message saying the site is not secure and won't open it. Inputting [URL] ...., it takes about 90 seconds before it opens the site then freezes. If I go to forums.debian.net, the site is fully navigable, if I put anything in the Iceweasel search bar, it freezes.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Suddenly Stopped Working AND Rfkill Command Not Working

Jul 13, 2011

When originally installing 11.04 I had problems getting my Ralink 5390 wireless card to work.

Today my computer froze completely and I had to turn it off via the power switch. When I turned it back on, wireless was no longer recognized! My iPod can connect to the network just fine, so it must be an Ubuntu problem. There are no problems with my ethernet connection either.

I researched this and found several threads about blocking and unblocking wireless devices using the rfkill command. Well, unfortunately for me the rfkill command doesn't work. When I type sudo rfkill list or sudo rfkill unblock all, nothing happens; it just returns me to my bash prompt. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling rfkill...nothing.

OpenSUSE :: Application Launcher Not Working After System Updates?

Sep 15, 2011

I have searched the net but can't seem to find answer for this issue. I am using Opensuse 11.4 with KDE Version 4.7.1 and kernel 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop on an Acer TravelMate 4200.I updated my system yesterday and since that update the default Application Launcher for KDE is not working, when you click on the launch icon you get the "Kickoff Application launcher" balloon dialog but nothing else happens. A sort of a work around for this issue is that I have found when the application launcher is switched to Classic Menu Style then the classic menu works without any problems. I would however like to use the default launcher and not the classic one as it has so much more functionality and is easier to use and navigate

Slackware :: Adding - Geometry Parameter To Launcher Not Working Xfce 4.6.2 On 13.37

Jun 14, 2011

I'm finally getting around to configuring my Xfce desktop environment and I'm having a lot of trouble having applications remember their last position. I did some Googling and found this is either not a supported feature or it depends on the application if they want to support it or not.

I'm trying to make my default terminal start in the center of the screen.

I found that you can add the command line parameter

Code:

For example and it should open at a 70x20 size in the 20+30 position. I added that to my panel launcher's command and ended up with

Code:

However the terminal isn't opening at all.

After further reading, I discovered the default launchers use your preferred applications so I just used replaced the launch command with the following and it worked perfectly:

Ubuntu :: DTA Has Stopped Working?

May 14, 2010

resubscribed to Rapidshare and in the past could easily download my friend's discussion papers using the file manager called DTA that integrates into Firefox. I have taken out a new subscription to RS and instead of getting the files I am receiving small html referer files. In theory this should be corrected by ticking a direct download setting on RS, but it is making no difference. I can manually download the files so I am certain the files are on RS in full form. I am also successfully auto logging into RS and this means the name and password are being handed over correctly

Ubuntu :: Nautilus Stopped Working In 9.10?

Aug 23, 2010

I got a call from a friend who did the distrubution upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and all was well for about 2 weeks and then his desktop icons disappeared. He kept running it that way and never looked for help until a couple of days ago he tried to plug in a card reader to get some pictures from his camera and nothing happened. that was when he discovered that he couldn't run Nautilus at all. I had him purge nautilus and reinstall it but then he couldn't even log in to Ubuntu. Very strange indeed. Anyone else experience this? After going over all the settings and finding them what they should be, I just installed 10.04 and all is well except that he lost a few photos.

Ubuntu :: Touchpad Stopped Working 10.10?

Nov 25, 2010

I have been using Ubuntu 10.10 for about a week now, I have had many, many problems, but usually figure them out by searching through this forum, except this time:I have an HP touchsmart tx2 1025dx laptop. When I installed it, everything worked great, sound, mouse, and even the touchscreen. Right now I noticed that when I press the button on by laptop which toggles the touchpad, it works but after it would freeze the menus, so that they would not drop down, I have confirmed this after many restarts. Now the touchpad has stopped working completely. Although if use the toggle button, it will still freeze by menus. It also somehow stops my keyboard from typing things into programs, like firefox, but still somehow the control-alt delete still lets me restart it.

My question is how can I reset the mouse settings/preferances to how they were when I installed? I found something a while back that was xorgconfig??? but it has since been taken out of ubuntu 10.10 (I read this somewhere, please correct me if I'm wrong.) I hope this is enough information for someone to point me in the right direction.Recap:Laptop Touchpad not workingWhen I press the toggle Touchpad button, messes up the menusUsing HP Touchsmart Tx2 1025dx LaptopLooking for a way to reset/restore sound preferences/settings or enable touchpad/ps: I was able to come here because the touchscreen is still working I ended up doing this:rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacitywhich reset ALL of my settings back to when I installed it, without deleting my programs or files.I found this here: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/0...re-installing/

Ubuntu :: Audio Stopped Working On 9.10 X64

Jun 23, 2010

I have a media center box running Ubuntu 9.10 x64 and XBMC. One day sound just stopped working on it. I did not install any updates around the time this happened. I have tried using a known working sound card. I verified the main volume is up and everything else in alsamixer looks OK. I have tried connecting known working headphones. Confirmed the kernel sees the hardware and loads to module for it. Confirmed several audio applications have no sound. I've confirmed it is set to use the correct sound card. I even booted into a live disk of the same version if Ubuntu and audio works fine there.

No errors are produced by any application, they act like they are playing audio just fine. The only entries in the logs about this I can find is below.

Ubuntu :: Left Click Stopped Working?

Jan 5, 2010

I did an internet upgrade last night and right around then I think I also got a little liquid around the touch-pad of my laptop and now the left click won't work in Ubuntu on either my touch-pad OR mouse so I am not sure if maybe the connection for the left click on the touch-pad is shorted causing it to stay "clicked" which somehow disables the left click on the mouse... On my windows xp partition(which I am using now) I am able to use the left click on the mouse but still not the touchpad... Anyway I am wondering if there is a way to disable to touchpad via console or some other way to get around this so I can back my important docs and files and then "mouse" it till I can get a new laptop.
