Ubuntu :: Edit Profile.ini To Lead To Windows Profile
Dec 21, 2010
I've already gotten into the .mozilla folder and found the profiles.ini file. My windows XP system has it's Documents and Settings folder on a seperate drive (D:Documents and settings) And I've located the profile (application datamozillafirefoxprofiles) Now all I need to do is put the path into the profiles.ini file in the .mozilla folder in Ubuntu. The problem is I don't know exactly how to format it.
In windows the path is:
How would I translate this into something ubuntu "follows?" I already have the profile name changed as well.
After installing Ubuntu, it didnt automount my windows partitions on startup. I always had to click them in PLACES to mount them. I also had firefox profile folder same as in windows. So every time i started Ubuntu, i clicked on my windows parititon in PLACES and than firefox. It wasnt ideal but it worked. but i wanted them to automount so i edited fstab to be like this
Code: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name # devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
i have a dual boot set up on my laptop using wubi, but now i can't log on to my windows side, it gives me an error message saying that it can't load the user profile. how do i fix this without using system restore?
I try to use the same firefox/thunderbird profile in opensuse and in windows, but if i give the windows profile to the suse firefox, it says to me: "profile is already used/ firefox is already running " Is there any workaroud for this? Btw the profile sharing works well with ubuntu. I use opensuse 11.1 kde4 reloaded and the installer mounted my windows partition to /windows/c
i m working on roaming profile where linux is the server & windows is the client... i m implementing it using samba as pdc my linux version is 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 but my samba server is not working windows is not authenticating my domain name following is the copy of my smb.conf file
Quote:
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too # many!) most of which are not shown in this example
I have already windows 2003 server with active directory, with 200 + user accounts and each user has allocated a specific disk quota. Now i want to install suse on client side so that it can do all same things as windows clients does(active directory login and disk quota). I have downloaded 11.2 suse linux and installed all samba required pakages and also joined the windows domain (2003 server). how can i access my user space located on win 2003 server from my linux client machine.
I am using Unbunto desktop and installed "likewise open" so that my linux client can access windows active directory(join the domain). On server side i have windows 2003 server. On windows 2003 server in active directory i have assigned each user a disk space. I have sucessfully joined linux (ubunto) box to the active directory domain but my linux box has access ($ it can use) to all other user diskpace ( they can browse other users) and when i joined windows xp client with the same server it works properly( xp client cant access or use other diskpace)
How do I delete a profile on Ubuntu 10.04. A friend of mine was over and he added a profile on my computer and now sudo doesn't work, and on top of that when I go to update my comp it never prompts me for my password and just restarts the Update Manager.
i have created a custom profile for firefox. i am being able to open firefox with this profile but i want also want to run another command with it. let me explain more. so this opens firefox with desired profile. Code: firefox -P/root/.mozilla/firefox/oscucdwa.customprofile and this runs my script well Code: firefox "javascript:window.open('htp://yahoo.com','myapp',toolbar=0,menubar=0); lf.close();" but i somehow want to combine them together. like achieve both in one command
i have done this once before, but recently suffered corrupted profile.i have a dual-boot system, windows vista and ubuntu on one physical disc (hdo, seperate partitions). i have another physical disc (hd1) that has an ntfs partition, and on it are stored my firefox and thunderbird profiles.when i use firefox and thunderbird in windows, both profiles are on the hd1 drive (email, bookmarks, etc.)in ubuntu, i have the ntfs partition on hd1 automount, so that i can use it.
in ubuntu: i have made thunderbird share the thunderbird profile on this partition (hd1), but recently, trying to set up the profilemanager to access this has caused me problems and while starting thunderbird, i see all my emails for a brief second (in the inbox), and then they disappear.i am using the latest thunderbird from the unmaintained repositories (3.0.5), but i don't have a problem reverting back to an older version...i use it for gmail, so the folder i point profilemanager to is:/media/sdb1/Mozilla Profiles/Thunderbird/Mail/pop. gmail.com/Mail/pop.gmail.com
this is where my inbox, sent items are stored.can anyone give advice on how to get this profile to work well with thunderbird in ubuntu ? i have read the mozillazine help pages, but it's not specific to my situation because i am trying to share a profile i have moved to a seperate location ..
Where does Ubuntu store the profiles information for Terminal sessions (e.g., colors, title bar menu on/off, etc.)? I managed to turn off the menu then set that as a default and can't access the profiles menu any more.
Is there an easy way to transfer the Firefox profile from one computer to another? Both running Ubuntu 10.04, and FF 3.6.Is it just a case of transferring the folders over via usb stick?
I've been using Ubuntu with GNOME for the past few years and I'm looking at possibly switching to the KDE-based Kubuntu. I know I can have both DE's on my system and even found a tutorial on the Psychocats site for setting it up, but I have a question for the KDE gurus here. Can I safely use the same user profile between both GNOME and KDE or should I set up a new user for working in KDE? I haven't seen anything saying I can't but I really don't want to hose my GNOME settings in case I end up not liking KDE enough to use it on a daily basis.
I work for a public school and we are implementing a number of Ubuntu NBR 9.1 netbooks. I wanted to use Likewise Active Directory for authentication, but have problems with the software so now I'm onto another solution for our problem. We are going to have one login for all users (Students, is the name). The problem with this is that Website passwords can inadvertantly be stored, potentially compromising users personal data. Additionally, I don't want to have any files left in the Students profile in case people accidentally save personal information in their files.I'm thinking there are potentially two solutions:
1. The Students profile is deleted when the user logs off. This will erase web history and files
2. The Students account is always logged in with a temporary profile (or no profile, if that is possible) that deletes itself at logoff because it is temporary.
I'm having a hard time coming up with search terms for a solution like this, so I thought I would put the question to the experts.
I miss seeing my picture in the MeMenu. Now that I've upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10, I notice it doesn't display there anymore. Does anyone know how I can add this feature back in? Not sure why this was removed, I thought it looked nice with the picture there.
i want to backup my account settings (icq, jabber etc.) for empathy in Ubuntu 10.10, but i couldn't find the location. It's not in ~/.gnome2 or in ~/.gconf/apps/..
I've recently re-installed Ubuntu 10.10 since I had some problems upgrading from 10.04. The pc is only used to read e-mail och browse the web, so I saved the profile folder from the old installation and put it in the .thunderbird folder in the new one. I also replaced the automatically generated profile name in the profiles.ini file, with the profile name from the old installation. I used this method once before, and back then I just started Thunderbird and it found all mails and contacts and so on. This time, it only shows the "Mail Account Setup" dialog box, in which you're supposed to fill in your accout information.
We have a stripped down version of Ubuntu 10.04 with no menu options for security. On the admin profile we have set up a terminal window for editing or adding users.We have created a second user with no admin privileges which we want to make the default on start up. This account is set to auto-login and takes them to a generic screen with just one icon to select and do anything with. I need to make this user the default on start up instead of the admin account as we do not want users knowing there is anything else available.When using the $ :users-admin in the terminal window to build the other account I have no option to make one or the other default. Is this done from the command line or is there another way of making this happen?
I can't log my account because i modify system wide profile, i installed java bundle with netbean. After it's completed, then i add the java path to system wide profile. either /usr/profile or /etc/profile. i don't remember. before i modify it, i change the permission using chmod 700. When it's done, i change it to 400 which is read and view only.
I can't login my account now. how do i fix it? how do log in root account to fix it? and i didn't activate my root account. it logs me in then log me out right away .
I have multiple profiles stored in my Linux Server and one of them is Corrupted,When it boot up it doesnt bring the customised applications.All the image has been stored in the server and Worksations boot from the network and gets the image from server.How do i fix it.
I am using red-hat linux-5 version. My profile become corrupt and now I can't see the files, folders I had saved. How can I recover my corrupt profile.when I open my profile there appears no data.
I've been using the KDE version of Jaunty Jackalope since it came out last spring, installing it on several different machines. Each time, I make a series of changes to the profile settings in konsole to make it look and act the way I like. Recently, I've installed JJ on yet another machine and I find myself reluctant to tackle the tedious job of changing those profile setting, one by one, yet again.
It occurs to me that the settings are probably kept in a file someplace, and that I might be able simply to copy that file from a machine on which I have the settings already in place, and paste it onto the new machine. I've tried making a minor change in the profile, then looking for a file that's time-stamped at that moment, but I haven't found anything in the places I've looked.
