My Firefox Awesome Bar isn't working in ubuntu 10.04. Instead of automatically redirecting keywords (ie, google goes to google, wikipedia to wikipedia) I'm just getting comcast's search page. I assume this can be fixed in about:config, I just don't know what setting.

I continue to try and get the back the Firefox I grew to love prior to the 3.0 release. My latest endeavor is to clean-up the Awesome Bar history. I don't understand the reasoning behind the well established "Clear Private Data" tool and the fact that nothing seems to work to clear the Awesome Bar history. Why have the tool if it isn't going to clean the Awesome Bar also. I don't want to get into the merits of the Awesome Bar I just want to clear it when I want to. I have done a lot of searching on this and there doesn't seem to be a real solution. There are many sudo solutions that don't actually clear what the Awesome Bar keeps track of as to merely hide it from view. The most common are the Firefox 2 history bar reincarnations.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been wanting to play around with the idea of switching to a tiling wm. So I started up virtual box and installed Ubuntu minimal, then installed awesome, gdm, terminator, Firefox, gedit, and a few other trinkets. What I would like to know, is their any other programs that work good, and look decent in awesome. I switched to terminator from gnome-terminal because I like the look of terminator better when it is in awesome. Also, is their any distro that use awesome by default, I may be able to play around with or get ideas from? Post some screen shots, I'm interested in how everyone else is set up. Once, i get mine set up to fit me, i'm going to remastersys it, and use it on my production machine.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm on Ubuntu (crunchbang actually) 9.04, and I've ventured to the world of the tiling WMs. Specifically, Awesome. I used 2.3.4 for quite a while, but have recently upgraded to 3.4.1. I've managed to get the vicious widgets working to display network, cpu, mem, etc., but the one thing that is driving me crazy is the statusbar icons.
to avoid the tl,dr;
Is there anyway to turn off the program icons in the status bar for the open programs? i.e. terminal, firefox, etc. I' ve googled as well as I can with no luck, and the awesome wiki for this seems to be outdated, as its suggestion bricks my awesome config.
So who here also uses awesomewm, or a tiling window manger? I've been using awesome for about 6 months at home, and started using it recently at my new job on my desktop at work. Whether it's at work or home, I've noticed that a tiling WM has increased my productivity 10 fold. I'm able to organize everything by tag, then tile. With awesomewm I have come to love it's reliainace on the LUA language. If I need a new feature, I can add it pretty easily. i.e. I have created custom prompts with some scripting to rdp and ssh into box's with the login information, resolution, already inputed.
Put in some if/else in there also, for certain hostnames that require different credentials, or different settings. It also mounts the c$ or root drive once connected to my /ticket/##### directory. So it's a snap to copy any file over. With LUA I've been pretty much able to extend the window manger to my needs with any script I can imagine. So come on everyone, discuss! Whether you are using awesomewn, or dwn or another great tiling window manager. Post your code, your settings, lets make this thread as big as the conky thread.
I just wondering can we install Awesome Desktop Manager or some people call Windows Manager on OpenSuSE 11.2.. coz my machine to slow to cater KDE 4.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAs I mentioned on the thread title, I can not connect wilreless under awesome window manager,it can scan wirless, but just can not connect it. I am using
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "...." key s:"***"
or
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "...." key s:**** (I try both, neither of it works)
and I do some search, and trying
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "..." key s:*****
it is not working as well.
So, hoping you can give any solution. I am appreciating your helping.
But, interesting thing is, under gnome, it wireless is pretty good, I have no idea how it could be, but just works fine.
btw, under awesome, when I typing nm-tool, it always indicate that wlan0 is disconnect.
I got awesome 3 desktop working and am in it right now, however I do not know how to customize it. It says theres a /home/.awesomerc file but when I go to nano it there is nothing there. What do I do?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been searching for tutorials on how to install awesome, it would be nice if someone can guide me on how to install Awesome Window Manager.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've installed the Awesome WM using "sudo yum install awesome" (as described here https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Awesome-3-fedora ). I can also log into awesome, but nothing works! I can open the menu on the top left of the screen, but when I click on e.g. "Open Terminal", nothing happens. Same thing for all other menu options except "Shut down" which logs me out of Awesome. I've also tried the terminal shortcut, but nothing works.
Has anyone an idea how to make it work?
I had GNOME DE but recently I've switched to Awesome WM.The only problem I have I can't set smooth fonts in Gnome-terminal.If I start gnome-settings-daemon, all the fonts in terminal become smooth, but is it possible to make it work without gnome-settings-daemon?I would change the terminal if in another smooth fonts were.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat 64-bit on my desktop with a wired internet connection (with no firewall). For the past 2 days, I have observed that1. Firefox randomly throws up errors like "Problem loading page" whenever I click on a hyperlink. When I click on Reload, the page loads up just fine. This has been happening a lot recently..and I do not remember updating anything consciously. By the way, ipv6 is disabled in Firefox.2. The network stops working all of a sudden (usually indicated by the Firefox error). The Autho Eth0 indication is active, but I am unable to connect to any external machine.
3. Needless to say, this error is manifesting itself in apt-get as well. I get "something wicked happened" errors all the time, and am unable to download or install anything.That this is not a problem with the ISP is obvious because I also have Windows (from which I'm typing this, ironically), which is able to access the internet.Is this a bug in Ubuntu 10.10?
If I install "Awesome", will I be able to run all the GTK & Qt apps with no problems?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe navigation buttons in firefox are not working and I can not access File, Edit, View, and History pull down menus. This just started today i think. I have 3.5.pre8 and 3.7 installed. both are affected.
Edit: Actually it is a problem with all apps when window is maximized. I cannot access the first 3 or 4 pull down menus or buttons on the tool bar unless the window is not maximized. This happens with konqueror, firefox and Banshee. Have not tested other apps yet.
Edit2: Upper left corner of desktop is also affected. The icons in this part of the screen are not accessible. seems that anything in that region of the screen is dead. just switched from compiz window manager to metacity and there is a black square in the upper left corner of my screen about 2.5"x 2.5".
i can't navigate through the tabs in firefox with my mouse, i cant use the address bar to navigate anywhere by key or click, my google search toolbar is acting the same way. i just updated everything after putting in the flashplugin-installer code.. i'm clueless since i know zilch about this system and im still stumbling through baby steps.

Nothing comes up saying a missing plug-in needs to be installed, but a small, blank window appears with a title of "Java" which can't be closed and has to be killed.
Using Ubuntu 9.10 and Firefox 3.6.4 .When I go to any site ,the site dims and freezes. When I try to close, invariably I get: site ... " is not responding. Forcing it to quit will cause you to lose any unsaved changes."I already tried to delete and reinstall Firefox 3.6.4 (both through the Synaptic Package Manager and through the Terminal)but to no avail.
View 5 Replies View RelatedTwo days ago I did a regular update and since then I can't start Firefox. When I start it nothing happens and when I start it again I get the following message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process , or restart you computer". I did them both, closing the process and rebooting but I got the same problem again. When I log off I get the following message in the file below. I almost forgot I'm using UBUNTU 9.10 !
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using a 64-bit machine Ubuntu 9.10, and Firefox 3.5.9 for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.9) Gecko/20100402 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.9) This problem has actually been going on since I started using Ubuntu. Firefox works for most things, but certain sites, many of them are ones you have to log into, but many other sites I log into work just fine. The first one which did not work was bigcharts.com. No login necessary. When I try to get a chart (stock) the page reloads with an error that I have to enter a symbol. On some sites I put in my username and password and the page just seems to reset. These sites work fine with forefox 3.5.9 on Windows Vista, and work with epiphany on Ububtu.

Has anyone else experienced this? I am running Parcellite in daemon mode, and it's working fine for all applications except Firefox. When it's closed, whatever was copied from it can no longer be pasted by Ctrl-V, but middle click still works (?!). Any ideas what might be causing this? Does it happen for you too?

I have used the hackbar addin in Firefox for a long time in Windows, but it doesn't seem to operate in Ubuntu 64bit. I honestly can't remember if it was working and stopped, or if it never worked at all. So mostly posting to see if others here have it working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the addin, but no luck. Just left a blurb on the developer's tiny forum.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I've installed the flashplugin-nonfree package but for some reason flash refuses to work under Firefox. The libflashplayer.so is in the right folder and flash actually works under Chromium browser - just not Firefox.
I setup the system from a 10.04 32bit minimal CD could it just be a pakage I am missing that is causing flash not to work under Firefox? I've tried Firefox 3.6.x and 4.0 beta and flash fails in both.
I'm confused with Adobe Flash. I'm using 32-bit Ubuntu 10.10. Flash was working for me in Google Chrome 8.0.552.224 but not with Firefox 3.6.13. So, I tried to troubleshoot it myself. I searched for how to uninstall Flash and I found a link to a thread from 2008, [URL]. I quickly ran the code posted. And, of course, only after running the code did I bother to read the date the post was posted which was 2008. I did:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove -y --purge flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla libflashsupport
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f ~/.mozilla/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*flash*
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*flash*
Then I ran
Code:
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
Then Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 was working for ..... in Firefox. And was still working in Google Chrome. Is there a site that has explicit steps for removing Flash from 10.10? And I had thought that the file named "libflashplayer.so" always had to be located in Firefox's directory named, /home/user/.mozilla/plugins/ for it to work in Firefox. But, now the only place that file exists is:
Code:
# find / -name "libflashplayer.so"
/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
So, I guess I was wrong with thinking that the file named "libflashplayer.so" always had to be located in Firefox's directory named, "/home/user/.mozilla/plugins/". I have no idea where it's suppose to go for Google Chrome 8.0.552.224. How does Chrome find it? So, in the end, Flash is working for me in both browsers and I have no idea why.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and since Ubuntu 8.10 I've had firefox.bin working on the background and taking over 60% of CPU. This happens in the first 1/2 hour after booting, afterwards it runs normal.
