Ubuntu Networking :: Firefox 5 And Ed2k System-wide Handling?
Jun 17, 2011
I'm trying to set up firefox system-wide to handle ed2k links properly, I'm following amule wiki howto at this page http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/Ed2k_links_handling but it seems a little outdated, I tried to create /usr/share/firefox/greprefs/all.js and /usr/local/share/firefox/greprefs/all.js but I got no results. I also tried to edit /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.17/greprefs/all.js with no luck. So where should I put ed2k handling strings to apply them system-wide ?

If I click the mouse anywhere inside firefox browser window I get a big black strip and it blink on and off. See screen shot.Screenshot-Navigating and Working in Scribus | Linux Journal - Mozilla Firefox.jpg.I can get it to stop by doing a page reload. But it is very annoying. Has this happen to anyone else? If it has has anyone found a fix for this? While I was typing this it happen again.Screenshot.jpg

Is there a way to adjust how smooth all applications scroll? This is a bit of an aesthetic issue, but also a bit usability as well..

I'm trying to run a command that will let me run some programs. If I run the command in a terminal, then I can launch the programs from it fine, but not from anywhere except that terminal. This is the command that makes things work:Code:export GTK_RGBA_APPS=allbut:exe:checkgmail:swiftfox:firefoxThis command disables RGBA for the programs listed, which seem to have problems with it. I hoped I could use this command to somehow apply it system wide permanently. I've tried adding it /etc/rc.local and rebooting, but it doesn't work.Is there a way of doing this? Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely? Is there a better way to disable RGBA for certain programs?

I wonder where are the Thunar file association settings stored? I have difficulties to find it in my own account, and also system-wide.

On an older computer of mine using an older CRT monitor, Ubuntu defaults to a monitor refresh rate that causes the screen to constantly flicker and flash, making it nearly unusable. Changing the rate to either 75 Hz or 60 Hz fixes the issue, but changing it through the Monitor settings only affects my user account; part of the loading screen, and the login screen, will continue to flicker and flash. Is there a setting I can adjust somewhere that will set the refresh rate for the entire system, not just my user account?

I do a bit of script writing, and part of this involves reading the text aloud and reacting to audio cues. What I'd love to do is set up a method of playing audio files at whim based on a general shortcut. So, say if I pressed <Super>C1, I could play ~/Music/cue1.mp3, <Super>C2 would be ~/Music/cue2.ogg etc.
Currently the closest I've got is using the terminal and a modified .bashrc to play via VLC's ncurses.
Code:
alias cue1="vlc -I ncurses ./Music/cue1.mp3"
Obviously this isn't very near to what I want. Entering a Keyboard Shortcut using the usual methods (xbindkeys, gconf-editor, the KeyShort Preferences GUI) to run
Code:
vlc -I ncurses ./Music/cue1.mp
doesn't play anything. Is it possible to launch these kinds of commands as shortcuts, or am I hoping for too much? My Google trawls have been pretty fruitless. I'm running Lucid, btw.

making changes to *.desktop files in /usr/share/applications works for all users, but gets overwritten when those packages are updated. You lose all customizations. Placing the customized ones in~/.local/share/applications works, but you have to do that for all users (pain!). So, what folder do they go in for system wide changes, but safe from updates?

I have an RHEL 5 server joined to a windows domain. However I wanted to add variable lines to be executed each time a user logs in. However I succeeded to put them in /etc/bashrc file and it worked like a charm.
But its annoying that everytime the user logs in to the shell remotely it displays the whole variables that were declared. Is there a way how to add them once and not to display the output each time the user logs in?

I want to set the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY and http_proxy and FTP_PROXY environment variables "somewhere", so all programs that recognise these can find them. I need root to find them for slackpkg and sbopkg, I need users to find them for Dropbox, I need them for cronjobs and scripts and wget.So I want to set these environment variables up somewhere, preferably something in /etc and have them set and accessible for everyone and everything. I am not using KDE or XFCE or any desktop. I need a command line solution.
Where is the best place to put this? I see that some other distros have a /etc/environment and these variables go in there. In Slackware, should I add them as a new file in /etc/profile.d and have them added every time /etc/profile is accessed? Is there a Slackware approved method that I don't know about?

I have been searching around into /etc/xdg/ and ~/.config and also /skel/.config (for newly created users!) so I can ensure specific applications open filetypes by default.
I would prefer to be able to use a system wide configuration so that i may be able to run a script with each new slackware release that would change application/filetype defaults for all users including existing to our liking (unless they have already preset their own app/defaults in ~/.config).

The default output audio port Ubuntu doesn't work on my system. It should be "Analog Mono Output/Amplifier", instead of "Analog Output/Amplifier". I can easily change that in sound preferences, just by choosing the right port in the "Output" tab, or by issuing the following command:
Code: pacmd 'set-sink-port' 'alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.5.analog-stereo analog-output-mono;output-amplifier-on' The problem is both solutions apply only to a single account, while I would like to change it system-wide, so it applies to all accounts on the system (there are more then 100 accounts - it's a set up for a school).I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.

I have my company's CA root.crt certificate and I would like to import into openSUSE 11.2 so every application could trust this authority. Is there any instruction for this procedure?
You know, something like you can do in Windows: just click certificate and there is a button "Install certificate"
Where is system certificate store in openSUSE?

We're in the final process of building a home, and I had them setup a wiring box where all the coax and cat5 terminates into one closet, which will also house my server. Once we get moved in I'd also like to add speakers in each room to have house-wide music, and ideally I'd like the audio to also run into this box with the master input coming from the server as well.My thought was to setup the server with some basic desktop manager like Fluxbox and use that to drive audio throughout the house, whether it be Pandora, Sirius Radio, or whatever. Since the server will be headless I'll need it setup so we can remote into it from our laptops, but I wasn't sure if VNC or some other RDP variant would work. Ideally we'll need to access a unified desktop so traditional terminal services where each users gets their own desktop might not be ideal

I'm connected to a Linux box through SSH on which I don't have administrative privileges. The command I wish to use is called tree, but it isn't installed. Is there any way I can load the tree program into my home directory and run it without the need to install it system wide?

Script iptables_reset.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
IPTABLES="$(which iptables)"
$IPTABLES -P INPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -P FORWARD ACCEPT
[code]....
This works if I edit the system-wide crontab in /etc/crontab like this:
Code:
0 12 * * * root /root/iptables/iptables_reset.sh
But it won't work, if i edit roots user-cronfile by using crontab(1):
Code:
crontab -l
# m h dom mon dow command
0 12 * * * /root/iptables/iptables_reset.sh
The log entry is the same for system-wide and user-cronfile:
Code:
/USR/SBIN/CRON[5135]: (root) CMD (/root/iptables/iptables_reset.sh)
I tried different things and found out,if i don't use the "$(which iptables)"substitution in the script, it also works with the user-cronfile.

I am coming from Windows XP Pro, on the same machine (and where I am writing this post from) so the internet clearly works on XP. On F13, the eth0 connection is activated and the drivers for the NIC chip were installed with the OS. The NIC is Intel Pro/100 VE. The problem that occurs is that the system updater (in GNOME) can access the internet, and installed a bunch of updates after installing the OS. I know it can get to the internet because the updates worked and in the System Monitor, I can see both uploading and downloading occurring during the updates. Now the problem is that when I open FF, I can't seem to get to pages, and I get the usual FF error (pic -- [URL]). However, I CAN get to [URL] as well as [URL] , but I cannot access several other subdomains on fedoraproject.org . I also cannot get to any other page online, ([URL] for example).

I really have tried Googling this over many, many hours, and I still can't make sense of it all, especially since I keep reading conflicting info.
In 9.10, the Usplash boot splash was replaced by XSplash, which is based on X11, and when we all realised something was up with GDM (when we couldn't find a way to customise the login anymore), I read it was not GDM controlling that anymore, but X11. So, the way I read it (on many different sites), XSplash in 9.10 controlled both the boot splash and the login, even though the hacks for customising the login involve commands with "gdm" in them.
Now, in 10.04, the short-lived XSplash has been replaced by "Plymouth", and I get all that... as far as the boot splash goes. What I don't understand is the login process.
There is talk of GDM2 coming out, and I've seen people asking when this will be implemented in Ubuntu, but if the move is away from GDM altogether towards a boot/login process totally based on X11, will this happen?
More importantly, what is controlling the login now? Is it still GDM, or is it X11 that gdm commands work on or something? (The hacks people used in 9.10 still work in 10.04)
Also, because I have Xubuntu and Kubuntu in the same system, and have had things like KDM taking over login happen after upgrades, I have to ask what is controlling the boot process and login for Ubuntu's siblings? (To me they now look almost identical, so wonder if they're all X11 based)

I remember having the same problem with kde/Fedora a few years back, and I can't remember the solution. Trying to open any attachment in evolution gives the error "No application is registered as handling this file" and you have to save the attachment, and then open it as normal. I have checked all the file associations, and they are fine, and the same attachment in evolution under Gnome opens fine.

I have been using so far only 32bit ubuntu, but now for various reasons I have to change to 64bit I need to compile a lib for gpg encryption for handling old keys, namely .I have the idea.c file and had some instruction with which I was able to create the lib from it for the 32bit linux. The intruction was:
gcc -Wall -02 -shared -fPIC -o idea idea.c
this seems not to work under 64bit and the old lib does not work under 64bit either obviously. particularly the compiler tells me -02 option is unknown, does it matter? or what is -02 ?

I'm just starting out on a project relating to web search, to be done in C++. Which library should I use to help with downloading web pages into memory so that I can process them? The big thing is I want to be able to download the pages into variables/structures without actually putting them onto the hard disk.I googled and saw libcurl, but I was confused by some of the examples and wondering if this was really what I wanted.

I wonder how error handling is done in C in real applications, by returning a error code when something goes wrong, or by using setjmp and longjmp, or something else?
