im running beta 2 of 10.04 x64 and ive noticed a problem where for some reason whenever I download a file it always gets corrupt even though its a 100% complete.
Ive tried using wget instead to download the file and that worked fine
ive removed ubufox package and its now working fine
Is anyone else having this problem?
I wanna be 100% sure that its not my fault and is really a bug before I submit it

Now it seems like my videos(a lot but not all) are choppy or just end up freezing(mkv files seem to be the ones freezing).Is it possible that the transferring of a large amount of data could have damaged my videos?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently installed the latest version of Ubuntu to setup a home media server. Previously, I was running a Windows Home Server. I added a new HD and mounted it during installation. This was ext2. I think mounted my 2 drives that had NTFS partitions on them from the Windows home server and copied all of my files over to the new ext2 partition. Everything looked great. I then re-partitioned by two old Windows Home Server Drives to ext3 partitions to setup a new file system for storage.
This is when the bad news became evident. While all of my .jpg, .mpeg, etc. files are there on my ext2 file system, I can not open them anymore. All programs (IE, paint, windows media player, Itunes, Photoshop, MS Office, etc.) are unable to open files they normally process. Did I somehow lose part of the files (a header, attribute or something) during this copy process?

I've been using Ubuntu on my fileserver for quite a while now, and I've always really had this problem, but I want to finally address it and get it fixed. At seemingly random points (when my fileserver is under stress - typically while I'm writing lots of data to it), my fileserver will crash. It generally completely crashes, not responding to any further file requests or any of my SSH commands, and must be reset hard (typically by flipping the power switch). After such an occasion, I end up with some corrupted files. It seems to corrupt a large array of files (it's not an isolated issue - for example, it corrupts files that were not being accessed anywhere near the time it crashed, including files that had never been accessed during that period of uptime). The files don't get completely smashed, but they're definitely corrupted (artifacts in images, skips in audio and video files, often complete failure of binary files such as virtual hard drives or disc images).
I'm using Ubuntu Server 11.04, but similar issues to this happened for me in 10.04 LTS (in fact, I upgraded to try to solve them). I'm using mdadm to create an 8-drive raid6 array. The drives are 1.5 TB each, mostly Samsung HD154UI, but with a WD drive in there too (sorry, I can't find the model number at the moment). The hard drives themselves appear to be working fine - SMART reports no issues with any of them, mdadm says they're all up, and I have no reason to believe that the drives are at fault here (although I can conduct further tests if necessary). I've posted about this problem before here and here. In these cases, the issues seemed to be with XFS - in fact, I switched from XFS to ext4 on my RAID array because I simply believed XFS to be unstable. Unfortunately, this issue occurs with ext4 as well, so I'm fairly certain it's an mdadm issue. Here is the output of "cat /proc/mdstat", for those interested:

In order to download files from a particular website, I have to include a header containing the text of a cookie, to indicate who I am and that I am properly logged in. So the wget command ends up looking something like:Code:wget --header "Cookie: user=stringofgibbrish" http://url.domain.com/content/porn.zipNow, this does work in the sense that the command does download a file of the right size that has the expected name. But the file does not contain what it should--the .zip files cannot be unzipped, the movies can not be played, etc Do I need some additional option, like the "binary" mode in the old FTP protocols?I tried installing gwget; it is easier to use, but has no way to include the --header stuff, so the downloads never happen in the first place
View 3 Replies View RelatedDiscovered today that my /share directory is missing or corrupt. All fields (permissions, ownership, inode, etc) read '?'. Will a fsck from single user mode fix this? Tried rebooting several times, etc. All other system functions see to be ok, except all the files in /usr/share are missing, the directory 'share' blinks red and obviously dovecot will not run - which is keeping our IMAP from running.

I am wondering whether there's a way I can download a minimal version or just the files needed for the base system installation then use the same DVD to install the packages, coz I have a terribly slow internet connection it took me a whole 2 days to download, and I surely cant stand any more of it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a system with Voyage-Linux (Debian based) as my OS running on a compact flash card. Some files appear to be corrupt on it. Whenever I do a ls,cp,mv,rm command on these files I get the message Stale NFS file handle. I actually had the problem on 2 identical systems. I fixed the first one by attaching the CF card to another linux system and then running e2fsck -f -v /dev/sdb1. It got rid of the bad file.
My problem is I won't be able to do that all the time. I'm gonna have several of these systems in different places and won't have direct access to them, therefore I'm looking for a solution that would work on the system itself. Now running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem seems to be a bad idea from what I read, but I tried anyway and it did not get rid of the file. I tried running tune2fs -c 1 /dev/hda1 and rebooting, which is supposed to run e2fsck after the next boot (not 100% sure here) but that didn't seem to work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been getting annoyed with the way that Firefox opens files for me. I used to have it so that they would come up with a window that asked whether I wished to save files onto the hard drive or simply open them. When choosing to Save, they would go to my Desktop. Because I mainly save files from my Uni website, they are generally .pdf files. N for some reason, they open in the Firefox window, so then I have to go to File, Save, then choose where I want to save it. It would be more efficient if it worked the way it did originally. How can I get the settings back to the way they were? I am running Ubuntu 9.04 and Firefox 3.0.19. Because I use a shared computer, I'm not sure whether the version of Firefox has been changed.

When I go into "Help,About", it says ...
version 3.6.3
Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu
canonical - 1.0
While I'm in Firefox, when I try to open a local file (a "local file" meaning an HTM or image file stored on my computer as opposed to remotely through the internet) by going into the File menu and selectng Open (or by doing "Ctrl/O" from the keyboard), I get a dialog box prompting me to navigate to the file. When I navigate to the file and click on Open, the dialog box vanishes and nothing more happens. (The webpage that was already displayed is still there).
However, if I type the URL representing the local file into the address bar (for example, if I have a file called "homepage.htm" and it resides on the path "/home/user/html/", and I type "file:///home/user/html/homepage.htm"), it works and the file gets opened and displayed.
Also, if I'm not already in Firefox but instead go into the File Manager and navigate to the filename, then right-click on the filename, then choose "Open with", then choose "Firefox", Firefox will then be invoked with that file loaded in it.
But why can't I open the file the normal way from within Firefox by using "File,Open" (or "Ctrl/O" from the keyboard)?
My problem is that I can' t launch my PHP files in Firefox to see them local.
I have Apache, PHP and MySQL installed.
I also moved my web folder to /var/www but still can't see them.
I can see the default html file: "It works!" but not my files.
Firefox is still asking what it should do with the file, if it should open or save it. But I can't see them.
I downloaded Nagios Checker and i was told in this web [url] that i have to add the add-ons for Nagios Checker. But when i opened the firefox browser, i went to Tools > Add-Ons.. under the Add-Ons i did not see the Nagios Checker, by right it should appear..how come?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI can't save files with the .hqx extension for some reason. Firefox was recently upgraded to 3.5.7 via Update Manager. Nothing happens when I click on a link pointing to a .hqx file no download status window. I can see that something is trying to download but it is not saved to disk. (Yes, I checked /dev/null first).My first stop was to edit > preferences > applications to see if the extension definitions got borked during the upgrade. Everything seemed normal except for the fact that I couldn't see an entry for .hqx files and no apparent method for manually adding it to the list. I went to another site that I administer and successfully download a .pdf file
View 2 Replies View RelatedDepending on whether I launched it with gnome do or the main menu I got a different 'version' of spotify, I could tell this because it had different searches remembered. I tried removing wine and spotify and gnome do via synaptic and completely remove and then the option to remove configuration files left over. I did a search and there were loads of wine files left so I just deleted. When I reinstalled wine, spotify and gnome do the same problem occurred.
Also Firefox started crashing ubuntu, just freezing it, so I tried to uninstall completely, but when I restarted it kept the same add ons and still crashed. So I uninstalled again and tried to delete all firefox folders but I can't work out how to do it as root.
Firefox grays out and doesn't unfreeze until the entire upload is complete.I can't do anything else on the internet while this is happening.This didn't bother me until now, because I need to upload some pretty high quality pictures to Flickr, and it takes about fifteen or twenty minutes to do so.I'd like if the pictures could simply upload in the background while I do other stuff, instead of completely freezing my internet usage in the process.I don't have a problem downloading files quietly in the background not even large files so why can't I upload files without freezing everything up? Is this normal, or is there a fix for this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI basically want to transfer firefox settings from one machine to another (or from one user to another) which includes some extensions. Instead of running the browser and installing the extension manually, I just want to copy and paste the relevant files.
I noticed that the folder name where the 'extensions' folder is present is different for different users. And just copying to that folder does not work. code...
I'm guessing there are other configuration files that I need to modify. Can someone tell me right way to go about this?
I install a nautilus plug-in which in turn installed the elinks browser and now all of my .html files are opening in elinks instead of firefox so how do I get .htm/.html and other web type files to open in firefox instead of elinks.
I also tried removing elinks from my system but then the files just open in gedit so again how do I associate .html (and other web files) with firefox.
BTW firefox is already set as my default browser in System > Prefs > Prefered Applications > Web Browser

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to work my way with LAMP, so I have installed Apache, Php and MySql and also PhpMyAdmin.
The problem I have noticed is that firefox cannot handle .php files. Instead it treats them like unkwon type and ask instructions for handling them (save, open with..). They are not prosessed by the server so no content is displayed. I have tried the followings:
1.Added the line AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml in my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file
2.Added the line AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml in my /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file (it was empty before)
3.Checked if php module is enabled by a2enmod php (it was)
4.Installed epiphany to see if it was a server problem (it handles simple php files fine -so it is a problem of firefox-)
5.Checked the existense of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf and /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load files (there were present)
6.Cleared my cache of firefox! (as I have read in a thread)
7.Also created new profile in firefox (also read in a thread) but pointless also!
I'm having a weird problem while uploading a file using a standard html form in Firefox 3.6.8(No extensions, except for the preloaded ones : Ubuntu Firefox modifications 0.9Rc2, mouse gesture redox 3.0.2 ). Anytime I try to upload a file whether on my localhost or at a website that offers a form with an input file, it fails. I'm just using test files, like small images. I've reinstalled my firefox, because I got this problem since 9.10 and now that I've upgraded to Lucid Lynx, I still have this issue. That's why I decided to do a fresh re-install using the same package I've downloaded previously when I did the ugprade. However, I still have the same result, the file never uploads to the server.
This happens when I use a simple html form with enctype="multipart/form-data". Though, when I use any other browser, like chrome, chromium, opera they just work fine. At my localhost, this is my code in one page, if you want to take a look, but as I say even with other websites the problem is happening too. Btw, the temp folders have written permissions (777)
PHP Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On');
$currentDir = dirname(__FILE__);
