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.

I am moving to Banshee on all of my 10.04 systems (anticipating the future of Ubu). Banshee has been doing something I don't understand and which seems very wrong (and which is actually causing some problems, if minor). First let me explain the arrangement. I have a server with a music share we'll call server:/tunes. On all of the machines and for all the users there is a mount (/media/tunes/) for said share.
Additionally so that all users have the same transparent experience, each user has a shortcut at ~/Music/tunes (which points to /media/tunes/). Through this I don't need to alter the default library location and all of the music on the server is automatically part of every library (and all library content and playlists have the same paths). However, Banshee has decided for some files to do one of three things:
1. It points (correctly) to only ~/Music/tunes/path/to/song.flac
2. It points (wrongly) to only /media/tunes/path/to/song/flac
3. It points to both and there is a duplicate entry
I have not knowingly given Banshee the path /media/tunes/anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've read "Can't choose my 2nd HDD to install Ubuntu" and "How to move GRUB?".but my problem seems not exactly the same as them. I have three drives:
1) SATA drive on first port with Windows on it
2) IDE drive with Ubuntu9.10 on it
3) new SATA drive for Ubuntu10.04
I want to remove the IDE drive and put it in a safe place as a backup.
I installed 9.10 on the new SATA, intending to see if I could get Upgrade Mangager to offer me Lucid Lynx. I should have unplugged the IDE drive but I didn't. Anyway, the Ubuntu9.10 CD installer did find the new SATA disk which I had partitioned using my original 9.10 setup on the IDE. It did put Ubuntu onto the first partition of the new SATA where I wanted it. However, if I disable the IDE in BIOS I get just a blinking underscore at the top left conrer of the screen on reboot. Why would the installer do this to me? Nevermind, perhaps a better question is this: How do I check where GRUB2 has been installed and if, as I suspect, it's put GRUB2 on the IDE, what's the simplest and safest way to get GRUB2 put on the boot sector of the new SATA disk?
Using openSUSE 11.2 & 11.3, where should I look for the default printer settings?
I have a Brother HL-1440 laser which for some reason prints right down to the bottom of the page cutting off the top part of the last line on that page. The default settings for the top and bottom margins are 0.50 inches. During installation using Yast2, the test page printed with correct borders.
When I change the bottom margin in options (from Ctrl-P), the page prints with the bottom margin set to 0.50 inch. The problem is I have to reset that margin every time I print a new document.
Where can I change that default setting? I've searched in /etc, /var, and /home but can't find it.
i want to know where does yum installs the software that i install with it ? is there any way to change the default location for yum Downloads ?

Just trying to figure out how to change the virtual HD location. I want to use a large storage drive to host the HD and snapshots on. I was able to fumble my way through the snapshot part. How can i tell Virtualbox to use my storage drive rather than my local boot drive to store / run guest from? also, I can migrate the guest HD AFTER install cant I?
View 1 Replies View Relatedif you try to browse the web from the machine, or log in through a nomachine (nxclient/nxserver) session, it claims there is no internet conenction. You have to run System|Administration|Network and select the stored "Location" for our wired connection. There does not seem to be an option to make this (one and only) "Location" the default. If the machine is up and incoming connections are possible (samba & apache), surely outgoing connections should be working without extra fiddling?
The issue with nxserver (nomachine) becoming unavailable on a re-booted unattended machine (unless someone logs in AT THE MACHINE and runs System|Administration|Network) is causing problems for remote access.
I installed fedora 12 very recently after which I installed a few files. I don't know where these files get installed. Is there a default location for newly installed files?

I have a question re: Iron web browser. I downloaded the the latest iron-linux-32.gz
I unzipped the package to /opt/iron-linux-32 and I can run the browser with no problem from the command line or from the gui. This is good.
However, how can I add Iron to the list of applicable browsers so that I can tell the OS to use Iron and not Firefox as default browser? Only Firefox is in the list of preferred applications.
I tried Chrome, but I still like Firefox better. I can't figure out how to get Firefox back as the default browser. When I go to Preferences --> Prefered Applications, web browser is set to Firefox.
I found this post...[url]
They said to run this command...
Code:
Tried that and it didn't help either. When clicking on link icons on my desktop, they open up in Chrome. Chrome says something to the extent "chrome is not your default browser to open links with. Do you want to make it?" I selected No and checked the box to not show it again. (That's why the above is not exactly what it said.) Kind of funny it said that yet it still opened up with Chrome and not Firefox.
I want to know how to set Opera as the default web browser.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI cannot set Firefox to be my default browser in Ubuntu 10.10. It used to be the default until I installed Chromium last year. Since then, Ubuntu Software Center, LibreOffice, EverNote (through Wine) and probably other apps open links in Chromium instead of Firefox.
I tried several solutions to no avail :
- System > Preferences > Preferred Applications : Web Browser = Firefox I tried with the custom command too : "firefox %s" => still opens Chromium.
- Firefox internal preferences : firefox = default
- Chromium internal preferences : chromium is NOT the default
- stuff like "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" set to firefox => another fail
- uninstalling Chromium : that works, Firefox opens all the links. Obviously it is not the desired solution as I want to use Chromium too.
- in Gnome Configuration Editor, there are no mention of chromium and /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command = firefox %s

So I've been poking around google and trying to figure out if there's an answer - or at least a semi-solution to this problem, and have come up with nothing. I've just recently installed Chromium and since I've had it on my Windows 7 install, I'm trying to set it as my default browser, but for some reason it doesn't seem to stay my default browser.
Opening and closing it seems to erase the setting as it always tells me that "Chromium is not your default browser, would you like to make it your default?" And I don't know why.
