Okay, I'm new to Kubuntu - but not Ubuntu. I installed Kubuntu about 2 hours ago, and I'm stuck... When I run the Firefox installer, it says the package is already installed, but where? I'm using Konqueror right now, but I want to use Firefox.

I recently removed Spotify using the Wine remove software function. When I try to reinstall Spotify using the "Spotify Installer.exe" I just keep getting the famous "NSIS error" (without any error code, it's plain NSIS). When I try to run the "Spotify Installer.exe" through a terminal it gives me:
wine: cannot find L"unix\home\user\Desktop\Spotify Installer.exe"
Any help in this bloody mess is much appreciated since I can't (I hope no one can) live without music.
I'm running Ubuntu Natty 11.04.
First things first:
Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit, 2 gigs ram, Firefox 3.6.10
I looked around here and only found some, "it could be this or that" type answers from a year or 2 ago, so here's my question.
Does anyone have a definite answer yet, as to why firefox randomly freezes up/turns gray and doesn't respond? It seems to be more like after I've had it open for a good length of time. And seemingly when I use the auto scroll.
I was lucky enough yesterday to get some help finally getting flashplayer installed

I am a newbie in Linux and have only been recently using it. I have faced a problem with my the firefox browser launch. Recently there was a update (to generic version 2.6.32.24) after which the browser fails to start. It gives the message starting Firefox web browser and then dies off. I tried searching for some already posted answers but couldn't find much.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just installed FC13 and am having a problem with Java sites in Firefox. Everything is a fresh installation from the LiveCD (Gnome) and I'm dual booting with XP.
My laptop is an older Presario 2170us / 2G Celeron / 512 Ram / 40 G HDD.
If I go to the preferences of Firefox and disable Java, I don't have the issue but I can't open sites that are Java-intensive, such as AOL.
Once I re-inable Java and open Firefox, as soon as I get to AOL, I am dumped out of the Gnome GUI to the plain text list of startup items, then returned to the FC login screen and then I get back to the desktop.
When I open Firefox again, I get a page about the failure to open AOL... but I don't restore it...instead, I open a new site (such as this Forum), then close Firefox and reopen it.... but when I go to AOL, it happens all over.
As a recent (almost) convert from Ubuntu, I'd like to solve this. I used FC10 on my laptop but had too many SE-Linux issues (I couldn't do much without generating an error), so I went back to Ubuntu. I tried FC11 and FC12 but still had some problems. Now I'm trying FC13 and like what I'm seeing so far...except for what appears to be a Java issue in Firefox.
I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 onto my desktop via usb. Depending on the tool I use to put the image on the USB drive, I get the following outcomes:
Universal USB Installer
whatever the default in results in no signal after the kernel has done it's work (i.e when the graphics kick in)
"Install Ubuntu to Hard Drive" results in a quick flash of graphical garbage, then an 'incomplete' gnome desktop; the wallpaper is there, a blank menubar with some of the top-right icons (like power etc.) but nothing else. Mouse moves but left, right click and keyboard does nothing. Can't move to the different terminals either.
UNetbootin One option is a blank screen, another results in graphical garbage which appears to be whatever was left in video ram? There was a cool collage effect of my windows logoff screen cursor is fully formed and moves, but that's all.
This isn't limited to Ubuntu 10.10; Fedora 14 has the same problem, but I can boot into basic video and get a desktop. Obviously, I don't want Fedora
I'm assuming my problems are the result of the nouveau video drivers, so my question is this; how do I get ubuntu to use an okay (preferably not basic vesa) graphics driver so I can install? And if I can do this, will enabling nouveau again (a newer version hopefully) cause my problems to continue?

I'm having a bit of trouble installing Ubuntu 10.04 on my system. When I boot into the installer my screen just goes blank. I've tried a number of things to resolve the issue (tried using xforcevesa, reburning the cd etc) and none of these worked. Looking around on the forums, it would appear that my video card (HD 5770) has little support and I tried all the suggestions I found concerning my card. Could this be it? I don't have another graphics card so changing it isn't an option. Is there anyway I could install Ubuntu?Specs:HD 57704GB RAMi5 750MSI P55 GD651x1.5TB HDD (Where I want to install Ubuntu)1x320GB HDD (Where Windows 7 is installed)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two hard disks, the one that I work with and another one for backups. The main HD had an OS (Ubuntu) partition, a partition for /home and a lot of free space.I installed latest Mandriva creating a new partition. Everything OK. But it overwrote GRUB and I couldn't boot into Ubuntu, so I reinstalled GRUB from the Ubuntu live CD. I got my Ubuntu back, but then it wouldn't boot into Mandriva. Well, I didn't care. But now the problem comes.
Right now, if I try to install Ubuntu from live CD, the installer won't see the partitions in my main drive. It sees the partitions in the backup drive, but the main drive appears as empty, no Ubuntu, no Mandriva, and no /home. Debian testing installer did just the same. Those partitions are there and I can boot into them and see them; it's only the installer that does not see them.
I'm running 9.10 and I've being using skype for months with no issues, but today my microphone isn't working. I've tested the physical microphone on another machine and it works fine.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Ktorrent 3.3.4 (compiled - using KDE 4.3.2) on Ubuntu version 9.10 (Ubuntu 2.6.31-19-generic)
I have tested the shutdown plugin to shutdown when all torrents stop downloading and also tested by selecting when events below happen and manually selecting the torrents.
I have the shutdown button selected.
However on both occasions my PC does not shutdown after the downloads have completed.
What am I doing wrong? Or is it because I am on Ubuntu and using the Gnome desktop and this only works for KDE?

It's been a few hours since the Adobe Flash plugin on my Firefox is behaving in a strange way: some of the clickable dialogs do not work anymore. I click on them but nothing happens.

But then I tried switching back to YaST and then back to Network Manager, and restarted a couple times, and now I have internet connection. DNS is also working, for Ping. The problem is that firefox does not use DNS and cannot resolve host names. I can use Firefox with IP numbers.

Do I disable NetworkManager completely or do I try to make it recognize that I am connected to the Internet? If the latter, then how should I go about? (Please let me know which files I need to show you, because I know I've messed around with a couple).
This week I picked up a Dell Studio Hybrid and installed CentOS on it. I originally used 5.0 since I already had the DVD and the network card wasn't recognized at all (lspci recognized it but the card didn't show up in system-config-network). I then downloaded the 5.2 DVD and installed that. The network card then showed up in system-config-network but it still didn't work. If DHCP is enabled it tells me that no link is present, and if I manually configure it, I still can't ping the router. lspci reports the following about the network card:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
The driver used is r8169.
I put Fedora 10 on it and the network is working fine, but I'd rather run CentOS on this machine. Is the issue likely to be fixed with CentOS 5.3 or should I just stick with Fedora?
What options should I use when I'm using the sort command to sort the top 5 CPU processes (ps -eo user,pid,ppid,%cpu,%mem,fname | sort ??? | head -5) showing max to min usage?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe switched from unix to linux and we have an old report that extracted data from a database, output to an ascii file and then sorted the results in the file based on different arguments. The report now blows up when it runs,and I can only guess it is because the options for sort on linux differ slightly from unix.For example, here is one of the commands issued from within the report app that ran on the old unix box:
if sort-sequence = "descending" then
'sort -t~" -f +3.0f -4.0 +5.0r -6.0 -f '
else
'sort -t~" +3.0f -4.0 +1.0f -2.0 -f'
I will eventually rewrite the report to store the data in a local table, but I can simply adjust the options to suit the requirments of linux. Basically, I need to know if this can be a quick fix for the short term.
