May 28, 2010I did a fresh install of 10.04 a couple of weeks ago, and all seemed well, but lately when I double-click on, say, an OpenOffice (.odt) file in Nautilus, I get the following message:The file '/home/zerubbabel/Documents/Teachings/Queue/2010.05.15-A02.odt' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.(The pop-up window title reads: "Blocked: wine start /unix"). I've repeatedly set the "Open with..." and checked "Remember this application...", but it doesn't "stick".

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Two Screen Widths From Same Monitor On Web Page
Nov 30, 2010I have apache set up on my 10.04 64 bit system. I am serving a web site that I am developing and I have noticed a situation that Alice might describe as curious.
When I access the site from the domain name, I get 1024 screen width. when I access the site locally with my computer name, I get 1264 screen width. The image actually changes, and I of course prefer the larger width.
The 'curiouser and curiouser' part is that the native driver will only show the monitor as 1024 as the largest possible width. I have a dual monitor, and while one is at 1960, the other is limited to 1024 in the current setting.
It is capable of 13xx when the nVidia driver is installed. (I was not happy with the screen settings available in their driver.)
So, somewhere, there is a file/setting/routine which allows for the larger res to be seen, if only through a locally accessed website. I have looked in the /etc/x11 files and folders and nothing screamed at me. If there are any suggestions about where to look under the hood to get the larger image for more or most and hopefully all the time, even through firefox.
I am using an nVidia GeForce:

Ubuntu :: Cannot Configure Nautilus On Netbook?
Sep 27, 2010Ubuntu 10.04 with Nautilus 2.30.1 The netbook has a screen resolution of 1024 x 600. The Edit; Preferences dialog window is too big to fit - I cannot see below "Tree View Defaults"; "[ ]Show Only Folders" line so I am missing the Help and Close buttons. I have not found any way to resize the window. Is this a bug which I need to report?
p.s. I have tried the Netbook Remix - don't care for it - not an option.
General :: Awk Gsub() Command - String (column) Manipulation - Replace The Value Of The $1 Column In The Awk Print String?
Mar 7, 2010i use this script to get the time and date of back and fourth transactions for a particular execution id. I use a substr command on the 5th column to to cut the milli seconds off the time value. - otherwise the times would look like 08:30:04.235
grep <executionID> <auditfile> | awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8}
FIX -> Mon 3/1/2010 08:30:04
FIX <- Mon 3/1/2010 08:32:36
FIX <- Mon 3/1/2010 08:35:08
[code].....
anyhow - i append two sed commands to further clarify the direction of the message.
awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8} | sed -e 's/->/ ->IN/g' | sed -e 's/<-/<-OUT/g'
FIX -> IN Mon 3/1/2010 08:30:04
FIX <- OUT Mon 3/1/2010 08:32:36
[code]....
I tried using an awk gsub () command within the string instead of the two seds, but it did not work:
awk '{ print gsub(/<regex>/, <replace with>,$1), $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8}
the sed works ok, but it would be cooler to make the replacement within the awk command:
gsub(/->/,-> IN, $1)
Is there a way where i could replace the value of the $1 column in the awk print string?
Ubuntu Security :: Configure SMB Share Via Nautilus-share?
Apr 28, 2011equivalent of "force_user" when sharing with nautilus-share? To put this question into context, I have shared out a folder with "Allow others to create ..." and "Guest Access ..." turned on via the GUI (I believe nautilus-share is applicaition behind the GUI). When Guest accounts create files or folders, I want the owner of the files or folders to be a specific user, rather then "nobody". In a Samba Server, I know you can use the parameter "force_user" in the smb.conf (under an individual sharename) which will specify the owner of the files and subfolders created through the share.
I have tried to add this parameter to the files created in /var/lib/samba/usershares but the owner of the files and folders are still "nobody" (NOTE: I rebooted the PC after making the change to the file) I have just done a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop with nothing else installed (except the current Updates and the necessary components needed when sharing folders) As a follow on question, I also want to set the permissions for files and folders. To replicate what the "create_mask", "force_create_mode", "directory_mask" and "force_directory_mode" parameters do within a Samba Server.
Ubuntu :: Set Preferred Applications More Specifically?

Ubuntu :: Adobe Is Uninstalled But Still Preferred?
Mar 3, 2011I installed Adobe Reader from the repository, but didn't like it (it takes way to long to load a page evince does instantly).I've removed it with the package manager, purged it with apt-get, completely removed it with synaptic, and set the right click to always use evince; the thing is still the preferred program and double-clicking on a pdf still tries to use Adobe and fails every time. This is really annoying in that Chrome tries to use Adobe to open pdf files too, so now I have to open my download folder, right-click, click "open with", and click "document viewer" (all for something that used to take one click!)

I suspect that if I populate the Mail Reader with the proper command line it should fix my problem.

Jul 24, 2011I have a disk that is formatted as NTFS (from Windows 7 - dual boot with Ubuntu Studio). This is not a boot disk, just an extra disk for data. I would like it to be available to both OS's. In Ubuntu, I went to System -> Administration -> Disk Utility and saw the disk. I clicked on the volume name and clicked Mount. I would like this always mounted when I restart Ubuntu. It was mounted as /media/Data2 (/dev/sdc5).What is the best/preferred way to format the entry in /etc/fstab?

View 3 Replies View RelatedFedora :: Preferred Apllications And Hidden Files?
Oct 9, 2009First is this:Whenever I open a file through - say - Open Office, the list of files I get shown automatically also show all the hidden files. Right click -> uncheck hidden files does the trick only for one session. If I hit Open again, they're shown again. How can I set it to not show hidden files by default in the 'open file' dialogue (for all apps)?Second is this:Under preferences, there's an item called 'preferred applications'. This is great, and works ok, but is way too general for me. How can I set that files with certain extensions always open with one app, and files with another extension always open with another app.
