I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a clean drive afyer an issue with 10.04 I couldn't resolve. The attched screen shot shows the error that happens when I launch Firefox. WHat is it, and how do I correct it. I can't find a setting for SSL or anything that might be turned off in firefox, so I guess it's an UBUNTU thing?
View 3 RepliesI am running ubuntu 10.04 . I recently installed gmate plugin package for gedit. It was working like a charm then. The next day I did a large update & when I launched gedit from console again, it was throwing tons of warning errors & assertion failures for every action. Though I could do all things without any obstruction.I deselected all the plugins & launched it again- this time it worked clean. I have resinstalled gedit & gmate packages but still with plugins on , I get dirty console screen.

I wanted to launch sqlite3 with the command:
xterm -e sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" &
The xterm window flashes for a moment and then terminates. Exactly the same result is encountered with:
a) xterm -e /bin/bash -l -c "sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;"" (as suggested in man xterm)
b)giving an alias in .bashrc to:
sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;"
and running: xterm -e alias
c)giving: xterm -e echo "something"
d)using: konsole -e sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" &
If a launch sqlite3 with:
xterm -e sqlite3 /path/to/database &
The xterm window launches with no problem and sqlite3 opens the database as expected. If I enter "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" every thing works as expected and I get the correct result.
The same applies if I launch xterm with: xterm & and then: sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT *FROM TABLE;" to the command line.I sometimes use xterm -e to launch applications to a separate window and never had the slightest problem. I suspect it might be a bash thing (konsole and echo not working as well as above stated) and not an xterm thing. I made a search in man bash for quoting and backslashing but it didn't bright up things.
When I try to launch application which runs in another window (not inside shell), it always fails with this kind of message: (example from gnome-terminal)
Code:

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Falling back to non-factory mode. Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting. Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon.

I am debugging a project and I noticed the .so files from my installed version of this project are being used when I run the main executable. However what I want is that the modified and compiled libraries (.so files) are being used. This is for testing the software. So I don't want to install these. I tried adding the directory with the .so files in /etc/ld.so.conf and doing ldconfig. However that did not seem to work. How can I let the main executable use the modified .so? I also want to debug this using gdb, so if someone knows what I should do to get those modified .so files being used for execution.

I also tried running these commands from root while logged in as root -- yum clean meatadata
yum -y update but this had no change to the system. I also thought it may have been a RPMFusion issue so I looked at their FAQ and ran the command line to enable RPMFusion and it advises that this package is already installed. I am getting confused by this and not sure where to start so that I dont keep going over the same things with and getting the same results.
I'd like to set up my Linux box so that I can access its GUI applications from an older Mac laptop running OS X 10.5 on the local LAN and away from home (over the internet).I know the traditional way to do this is with an X session (& Mac OS X has an X window client included), but does this offer the best performance, especially over the internet? Would I be better to install some sort of RDP server? I've used VNC in the past, but performance has been pretty slow and ideally I'd like the remote apps to show up seamlessly (more efficient use of screen real estate).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an odd problem loading certain webpages (not all) from the New York Times in Firefox.
If I try to load this for instance:http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/1...-shoes-or-not/
the page will not load and I see the text "Waiting for graphics8.nytimes.com..." in the status bar.
I did a complete reinstallation of Firefox and it worked fine (yesterday). Today the problem is back again.
I tried the page on a friend's computer also running Firefox in Ubuntu and it worked fine.
I tried it in Windows Firefox and it worked fine.
I have the same add-ons/extensions in Windows as I have in Ubuntu and, in any case, I have removed them all once and tried the page with the same non-result. I also noted that the same thing happens if I try to load the page in Google Chrome in Ubuntu.
I recently installed Fedora 14. Yesterday, the update tool found 367 packages to update.
Before the update, Firefox worked fine.
After the update, firefox fails on startup with a series of python errors, apparently ultimately due to the error:
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-dynload/selectmodule.so: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct
Any solutions to this short of reinstalling everything?
Firefox won't load. On clicking the icon in the plasma box the bouncing loading icon appears but after about 30 secs it disappears and nothing further happens.
I am running Suse 11.1. Not sure of the original version of FF! I have tried deleting it in Yast and reinstalling the latest version with the same result. It certainly used to work but as the machine is primarily a mail server, FF is not used much.
I understand that there are a few posts regarding this issue but for some reason I still can't get Firefox to stop freezing. And it freezes the whole machine!! I couldn't really find Firefox v 3.0.11 to download. I kept getting redirected to the newest version that doesn't work.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with dual monitors with a nvidia GeForce 8400GS. I can't figure out how to fix. On the primary screen on the Gnome Panel it shows all my open applications. I currently have VirtualBox, Firefox, and 3 Terminal windows open and they show up on the panel. I can minimize and maximize,etc from the panel bar. This is my issue. If I move say one of the Terminal sessions to the second monitor it disappears from the primary monitor's panel bar.
If I click the hide all applications and show desktop icon there is no way for me to reopen just that terminal window that was on my second screen. I noticed this when I moved my Firefox window to the second screen and minimized everything with the show desktop icon. I could not maximize Firefox cause the application was not listed on the panel. I had to kill Firefox and relaunch.
