Ubuntu :: Crazy Length Text Boxes In Web Browsers?
Jun 16, 2010
did a search and I can't believe I seem to be only person reporting this. It's been a bug since I did a fresh install of 10.04 UNR, but it's only gotten to the tipping point where I actually HAVE to do something about it today. I finally cracked.As you can see in the screen shot attached the one line text box (ie, search bars mostly, but the thread title in this case) stretches way beyond length it is supposed to. For the first screen shot I have "zoomed out" to give a better idea of the full effect, the second screen is what I see during normal browsing.If anyone could help me fix this error it would be greatly appreciated. I've tried both Firefox and Chrome (and Chromium) and the same issue occours. The screen shot is taken from Chrome 5.0.375.70

I was trying to install GTK+-2.8.20, so I installed it's necessary dependencies in this order:
pkg-config-0.23
glib-2.20.4
pango-1.24.4
jpeg library
tiff library
cairo
And I was about to install the last dependency: ATK (Accessability Toolkit).I opened the Archive Manager to extract the "atk-1.26.0.tar.gz" file (yes, I'm still switching from Windows so I'm fond of GUI), but I noticed all the text in that window was boxes, like the □ type box for every letter of text.So instead I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, because the terminal and regular windows weren't screwed up.I opened a text file in gedit (reference to commands in terminal, such as how to extract files via terminal), but yet again all of the text was □-like boxes.

I have a problem with my web browsers showing only text on some web pages. In the Firefox error console, I see the following errors:
1. Error: The stylesheet was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
2. Bootloader is not defined
3. BigPipe is not defined.
Any browser I use has the same sort of results. If I use WindowsXP, however, everything seems to work fine.

Im trying to find a text-based browser that would allow me to send my user and pass to a site so it would auto-login. The thing is, Im trying to grab text from a site that requires authentication.I have looked at lynx, but I have problems connecting to https (apparently, the site uses an invalid cert).

I need to search a text file for a string of numbers which are different lengths, and always are between number=" and " like:
number="1234567890"
number="22390"
I need to grab those numbers and pipe each one to a line in a file. I've already tried something with awk and that didn't seem to work.

I'm having a strange problem with Firefox. I like to tab through text boxes rather than clicking on each one. Problem is, I don't really know if it has anything to do with the tabbing honestly, but I'll type in the box I'll get one letter than it will highlight it all on its own and then obviously get replaced with the next letter I type. I can type one letter, press the forward arrow and type another letter then it automatically highlights the 2 letters, etc etc. I'm really not even sure how to stop it, I try clicking in the box and they doesn't seem to do anything. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with firefox 3.6.6.

I was recently using Xubuntu for awhile, and I really enjoyed the default color scheme it had, I was wondering if anyone had the colors in HTML that Xubuntu uses?
I'm looking for the "Background & Text" colors for Windows, Input Boxes, Selected Items, & Tooltips and then I was just going to input them under "Customize Themes"

Because I have Windows and two different Linux distributions installed, I have two GRUBs on my system. The first one that starts when I boot the computer is Linux Mint's GRUB. It can run Mint, Windows, or Kubuntu's GRUB, which in turn can run Kubuntu. Right now I mostly use Kubuntu, but I haven't changed the setup of the GRUBs because it worked. Until yesterday, when Mint's GRUB worked well, but Kubuntu's GRUB gave me an error while trying to run Kubuntu. I restarted the computer a few times, and it happened every time. Sometimes the errors I got were 16 and sometimes 18. Occasionally, even the first GRUB had errors.
I thought that maybe something's wrong with my hard disk, so I booted from a Kubuntu Live CD and did a fsck, which showed no errors at all (except that it's rather suspicious, because it checked the partition instantly, is it supposed to work like that?). Then, I reinstalled Kubuntu's GRUB and rebooted the computer. This time, everything went well! I even rebooted it later once, and didn't get any errors.
Today, I got up and wanted to use the computer, and it gave me the same errors again. :O I rebooted a few times, and it was just like before. Then, I booted from the Live CD, there I didn't start the system, but I picked "boot from hard drive" and it miraculously worked. This is weird. What could possibly cause these errors? I haven't even installed or updated anything recently.

Something seems to be wrong with the form redraw. When I open a movie in movieplayer, it looks Ok until I try to resize the window or move it. Then it draws crazy, repeats elements in the form, and kills the movie image. You can still hear it, but it's black. Something is up with the software that draws apps on the screen. Have you seen this or have an idea what might be going on?

Slackware 13.37 is giving me ugly suspend/resume problems.When I suspend to RAM and my laptop wakes up again, I get a corrupt screen flashing like crazy.This happens when I suspend from the console and when in X11; be it by issuing 'echo mem >/sys/power/state' or 'pm-suspend'.Tried the 'save-pci' quirk for 'pm-suspend', no dice.Tried to POST the card with 'vbetool' after resume, no dice. Tried to save/restore vbestate before and after suspend/resume, no dice.What is one supposed to do to get this stuff to work in 2011?Funny thing that suspend-to-disk works as it should.Also, with 12.2 I would pick a VGA mode for the console in 'lilo.conf' and it would freaking stick. Not anymore. Now the 1st half of the boot is performed in my chosen mode (80x30), then it switches to maximum resolution with an idiotically unsightly small font.My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5101 with an ATI Radeon 200M card.Is anyone going thru the same hell or has anyone found a fix?

As mentioned in the title something is terribly wrong with my system. After some updates in the last 2 days Plasma keeps on crashing like a jackhammer. Kwin reports bugs and siece to work. That said I have no borders of any window I have opened and no Kickstart menu. (I am using KDE 4.4.1.) On top of it all when I rebooted the system it just hangs when it is supposed to start X and KDM. When I switch to verbose boot I see that Avahi Daemon has a "Failed" sign. I have tried with older kernels, but that did not solve anything. To be honest I am clueless on how to fix Avahi. The easiest way is to reinstall Fedora, but I would have stuck with Windows for that and where is the learning opportunity in that?

The documentation talks about the /var/run/utmp not being corrupted. Should I be able to tail that? When I do the screen goes crazy and beeps and beeps. If it should be a file that I can read, can I rm it and then touch it

I need a little insight, and I�m not sure if the two can relate, but I am trying to find out the following.
When generating WEP Keys the available bits are: 64/128/152/256; however, you need 5/13/16/29 character respectfully for each key if you generate the key manually.Can this formula be applied to passwords and the length of the password? For example: if my password had 29 characters, could I say that my password is 256-bits?

Is it possible to prevent the panel from expanding to where the -ox buttons appear on a full sized window. I use the panel hide pref with the panel not fully extended to the width of the scree. If the panel gets too big then it drops down each time I click to close the window. I would like to limit the overall length of a panel. Is it possible?

I am working on a system that uses Red Hat Client 5.3. Files keep being created all over the system. They are all named nul and are zero length. We use a common login and thy are owned by this login account. I have grep'd the entire system looking for some code that would be writing these files but nothing has come up.

How to get the length of received UDP packet? Using wireshark I could see the correct length of datagram. How can I print this value in my simple udp server program? I am receiving binary data (Non printable ascii characters as a data) So I can not use strlen(buf) which throws incorrect length.
Code:
if (ret=recvfrom(s, buf, BUFLEN, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&si_other, &slen)!=-1){
error = ioctl(s, FIONREAD, &value);
printf(" from ioctl UDP packet length is : %d error is : %d
", value, error);
code....

I would like to know how can I find array length in C .I have array of structure and I want to sent it to different functions and I want to have it's length (number of elements) each time I want to use it and I don't like to use any additional variable to pass the function for each of arrays that I pass to function.
How can I do that?

I want to calculate length of my array, say Unix here.
Code:
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ declare -a Unix=('Debian' 'Red Hat' 'Suse' 'Fedora');
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ echo ${#Unix[@]}
5
This should be ideally 4, but somehow it is showing as 5. However, when I am removing the space as RedHat instead of Red Hat, it is working perfectly.
Code:
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ declare -a Unix=('Debian' 'Redhat' 'Suse' 'Fedora');
[linux1@HMLINUX1 abc]$ echo ${#names[@]}
4

This is just an idea, and I want to know if it can be done. Could I set up Nautilus so that videos and songs have their durations shown in the filename? For example, let's say I have a video of me shooting targets. There would be an icon, and the filename underneath would say: "Range trip 2009.flv - 8:23"
Is there currently a way to do this?

Some (very few) mp3 files on my hard drive seem to self-report incorrect (much too long) lengths to audio players. I mostly use Amarok, but I've verified that the problem also occurs with other audio players. The files play just fine, but it's annoying that they're listed with incorrect length. Most of my mp3s are encoded using VBR, but I can't imagine that that's a problem ... and if it were, it would be occurring with a lot more files, I'd think.I'm guessing there's a problem with the file header itself on these files. Is there some way I can check this and correct it, if that is the problem? A quick check through Synaptic didn't turn anything useful-looking up, and neither did a search through these forums.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on an HP Pavilion dv 6000 with a Centrino Duo processor and 2GB of RAM. I have the Universe, Multiverse, and Medibuntu repositories enabled.

Does anyone know how to increase the mousewheel scroll length? Take for example, Google Chrome, in a Windows operating system one tick in the mouse scroll wheel moves the page 10 lines, while in Linux one tick only moves the page 4-5 lines which can be quite annoying when scrolling through large webpages, does anyone know how to change the scroll length? I'm using Fedora 14 x86_64
