Ubuntu :: Enigmail Caused Trouble Viewing HTML Text In Thunderbird And Firefox
Apr 28, 2010
I cannot read html in emails or in Firefox.It was working fine until I tried to modify the message composition settings in the Preferences menu.I was trying to make it so that I could forward messages in HTML to send to a colleague his flight itinerary.I had set all my messages to be composed in plain text by default with Enigmail.A Google search page for example will only show images but no text is rendered. I can see the blue underlines for links.
If I highlight the webpage and copy it to the Notepad, I can read the text. So the issue isn't that the pages aren't loading, but they are not displaying correctly.The same problem is also now present in my email.Please help! I don't know what to do short of reinstalling Ubuntu and I would rather not.I am on version 9.10 if that helps.

I would like to make Firefox view text files not in its internal editor, but in the external editor (namely EmacsClient).Is it possible to change this default behavior of Firefox?I beg your pardon for being inconcise, I'll try to state the matter once again. First thing to mention is that I use the Linux version of Firefox. That means that unlike the Windows version the contents of the application bindings dialog is very scarce.
When I click on the link to a text file (be it remote or local) by default Firefox opens it in the internal browser. I've tested, somehow it looks at file extension - when for example I make a file with .mpg extension, the behaviour is as it should be - the dialog with "Open With..." and stuff. When the file has unknown extension (unknown to /etc/mime.types), in my case it's .out, pure text format - the default behaviour is to open it in a Firefox window.

I just migrated from debian testing to ubuntu 10.04 since the newly introduced thunderbird 3.0.4 did not work with enigmail anymore and i need that to read about half of my e-mails. Now, it doesn't work on ubuntu either. I have the version (of the distribution) 1.0.1 of enigmail installed. In the testing version i also deinstalled it and downloaded the version given by the addons. Still didn't work.
If i start from command-line, i get:

Saying Enigmime-Service is not available. Usually i get a window saying the same thing each mail i open.

For the life of me I can't get Enigmail to install on Thunderbird 3.1.6.
All I really want to do is digitally sign my emails for security reasons. Can you recommend some other add-on for TB that would do the trick?

Running Slackware64 13.1 here. I started up Firefox this morning and all the text is completely blank - all the menus have disappeared and everything. I can't really think of a great way to explain it clearly so I've attached screen grabs of Firefox and Thunderbird (which has the same problem). Other GTK apps seem to be fine, it's just the Mozillas as far as I can tell.
I have tried removing both with code...
And then I reinstalled both Firefox and Thunderbird from .txz files I downloaded from a repository, but they're still the same. Firefox version is 3.6.3 and Thunderbird is 3.0.4.

I have indexnew.html file in /var/www/html. I have to view this file in the browser within the network and without using Apache server. Because, my Apache server gets the request to my application. I used http://localhost/indexnew.html to open the file, but it gets to my application.

System:Thunderbird v3.0.5Ubuntu Lucid LynxEverything works fine with Thunderbird until I view the Inbox.When I start thunderbird the "Whats New in Thunderbird" tab is shown. As soon as I click on the Inbox tab the RAM is filled to 97% and the system slows down immediately. After killing thunderbird everything works fine.

I put a text file on my desktop and added a couple lines of text with gedit. File type shows text/plain. Double-click opens the file in gedit which is what I want. I'm using the file to temporarily hold some snips of code that I copy from file to file, but when I copy some html into the file and save it, now file properties show it's text/html and a double-click opens the file in firefox, which isn't what I want. Is there some way to keep the file type from changing itself?

since some days I have a strange problem with KMail (1.13.5) in KDE4.5.5. When I try to copy some text from an email and past it to any other program (e.g. Openoffice), not only the marked text will be pasted, but a kind of HTML code including the text.
This bug is not OpenSuse specific. I found the same bug in a Fedora mailing list (of course, whithout an answer): Strange Copy/Paste behavior in KMail 1.13.5/Kontact 4.4.8

For some reason I am unable to get Thunderbird 3.0.4 to display html in a message. I can see the html code when I chose to "view source", but the message itself is totally blank. I am using Ubuntu Lucid.

I have been doing some work on an mailing system and sent a test e-mail to myself. This had an html body and a paragraph for which the font was declared as itc zapf chancery ,cursive. I know this is not a good choice but it was only a test. When displaying the html message in thunderbird, Zapf Chancery was not used and the paragraph displayed in some other font. If I go into preferences -> composition, I can display a list of fonts that includes itc zapf chancery. Thunderbird displays the html page without problems.

Running a clean install of Lucid 64, I have a problem with the Firefox Java plugin with the "Live Timing" feature of the www,formula1.com site. Live Timing is an applet they provide that displays sector and lap time information for races, practice and qualifying sessions. It was working fine under Karmic 32 but no luck so far with Lucid 64.
Initially trying to start Live Timing caused Firefox to become unresponsive, I saw that the Java plugin being used was the IcedTea one, which I have heard can be a bit flakey. (Not sure what I was using under Karmic BTW).
I notice that the Sun proprietary Java stuff is installed - I presume when I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. So I disabled the IcedTea plugin in Firefox and tried to use the Sun Java Moz plugin by creating a symlink to
Code:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
in
Code:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
Firefox then lists the Sun proprietary plugin under addons - plugins but it doesn't actually seem to do anything, as I just get an empty Window with the Live Timing Applet.

I have a program which logs the results of a test in a text file. I want to display this file on the console and display the updated file each and when as each test is updated. Is there any console command which will refresh the display everytime the file is updated?i tried using the "tail" command but it works(refreshes) only if the last field is updated.

Currently, whenever we open a folder like "media/DATA/Work/Projects/Linux" at the top of the window it views each folder/subfolder as a button like [media] [DATA] [Work] [Projects] [Linux]. So if you click a folder named "Ubuntu" within the "Linux" folder another button [Ubuntu] will be added.I like this feature, but often i find myself needing to copy and paste that address somewhere and all I can do really is type it out manually. Is there a way to also display the address location in text like "media/DATA/Work/Projects/Linux"??

As I am a paranoid bastard, I made a bash screencap-script for my Ubuntu-computer, so I can check if anyone uses my computer for things I don't want them to do (eg. checking if anyone is viewing passwords stored in FireFox, looking at private files, or other things I find disturbing). There might be other people than me that is paranoid and want to monitor what's going on on their computers while they are away or letting someone else use their computer when going to the bathroom.
This is a small script, I'd like to hear if there is any improvements that can be done, so I can learn more and become better at such scripting.
The script requires Imagick (sudo apt-get install imagemagick) and a folder in the ~-directory (/home/username) called ".screen" (hidden, as this makes it more difficult to "intruders" to find it and it looks more like a system-folder than a monitoring-folder).
The script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
i=1;
j=`date`;
user=`whoami`;
[Code]....
Add this script to /usr/local/bin and then go to keyboard-shortcuts in GNOME and add a shortcut-key-combination of your own choice for the script. Call it whatever you'd like, and the command you want to run is simply "screen". To add a shortcut for stopping the script, you add another shortcut-key-combination to the command "killall screen".
This enables you to monitor activity on your computer while you're away, saving png-screenshots of your desktop every three seconds in the folder /home/username/.screen/date.
NOTE: I'm not taking any responsibility for what you do with this script. Remember that monitoring someone's activities is never the right way to handle anything. Also, it's illegal many places. Take care and use it only for educational and testing purposes.

When I print receipts from certain company's emails, they span three pages or more bloated with images, links and overly large text. I can view the message in plain text by setting the preferences to only display text instead of html, but it doesn't affect what is printed. I still get the full HTML page printed. Is there a way to force evolution to print in plain text instead of HTML?

I need to extract som text from a text file. The text is a test log with system info at the top and results further down. What I need is to add different tags with formatting before and after each line. I have prepared a template with html formatting, but the number of lines in the test log may be different from case to case, so I need to be able to add formatting tags by need. Can this be done using bash script, sed, awk, head, tail... ?

I have been trying to play a .mov video on the internet, and when the video loads, I get an error that says "search for suitable plugin?.........plugin not found: -text/html decoder" and so i try to open it in movie player, it says its streaming, same thing happens. then I try to play it in vlc media player, and i get no message, it just wont play it. I installed the mediubuntu repository and performed and update and restart, and still it will not play the file. In case you want to try it yourself the address for the video is: [url]
I have all the boxes checked in the updates i.e. important, recommended, pre-released, unsupported etc. I also installed the libdvdreader repository. btw another issue im having is that although installing mediubuntu fixed my poor and choppy dvd playback issue in movieplayer, now it plays, but is very "shaky" basically it looks like they had very unsteady hand while filming. I play it in VLC media player and have zero issues, the picture quality is perfect.

How can rich text or HTML source code be obtained from the X clipboard? For example, if you copy some text from a web browser and paste it into kompozer, it pastes as HTML, with links etc. preserved. However, xclip -o for the same selection just outputs plain text. I'd like to pull the HTML out and into a text editor.

I am working on a script to convert a comma seperated text file into html code line by line. The text file is like so:
Code:
link url, image url, description and I want it to output this:
Code:
<td><a href=�link url�><img src="image url" alt=�description" /></a></td>
Here is what I have so far:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
var1='<td><a href=
var2='><img src="'
var3='" alt=�thumbnail image" /></a></td>'
[code].....
It puts the entire line into the html so its no good. I'll probably need to use awk (I think).

Today, all of a sudden, gmail is loading only the html view in my firefox. It is asking me to upgrade to a faster browser in order to have the standard view. Clicking on that link, I found that my firefox is already the latest version. It is not only gmail, but my institution mail is also loading in basic html mode. There is no problem with yahoo mail though.
The one thing that I did yesterday was installing many ubuntu themes and wallpapers. I changed the theme back to the old one but to no avail. Of course, the wallpaper is new, but that should not be causing any problem. I tried clearing the cache and deleting the cookies from google. But the problem persists i.e I closed all the google related tabs, cleared cookies and cache and restarted the browser. Note that Google chrome is able to load gmail properly.
