Ubuntu :: Open Source Pdf Plugin
Oct 8, 2010
I can not seem to find a pdf viewer browser plugin other than the actual craprobat plugin from Adobe. The default Ubuntu install comes with a perfectly good open source stand alone pdf viewer, but this means that the browser has to save it to your download directory then run the external viewer, and eventually your download directory is all cluttered up. I would much rather just view the pdf in the browser.Is there no open source browser plugin?

We all know we can install a linux system such as Fedora 10 and use it. Being linux, one should in principle get the source codes for everything that has been precompiled (except the proprietary drivers such as nvidia) in the installation DVDs/CDs. Where are the source codes ? Is there a place I can download them ?
To avoid confusion, I am not referring to the kernel source that can be compiled to give a linux kernel, but that does not include the drivers, such as intel_drv.so.
To be more specific, the intel graphic i810 driver has been built into any linux system, but where is the exact source? One answer may be that primary source intellinuxgraphics.com. However, if anyone tries to download the every changing (i.e., keep updated almost every single day) driver source codes from freedesktop.org, it is almost certain that the source codes will not be the same as the one that is finalized in Fedora 10.

"The playback of this movie requires a SMB protocol source plugin which is not installed." I get this error when I try to play a movie from a samba share. This is a fresh install of Fedora 10 KDE. I installed all the necessary codecs using the rpmfusion repo. Movies play fine if I transfer them to my computer.

I have a problem with correctly using a void pointer. I am writing a system that can open plugins and run them, and so far everything is going fine: I have a struct with some variables in, some function pointers, and I've written a small library to handle these correctly to communicate with the plugin. My challenge is that I need to put a pointer (let's call it "context") into this struct. The type is not important to the main body of code, and it is not ever used except by the plugin. The plugin will malloc some space for itself, and this *context will then point to whatever malloc returned. context is the address to a struct that I typedeffed to "ctxt".
Here is the first struct I mentioned:
Code:
typedef struct slave {
int val1;
int val2;
int (*entry)(struct slave*, int a, int b);
void *context;
} target;
Here are some snippets from the plugin:
Code:
typedef struct context {
int a;
int b;
} ctxt;
(*target).context = malloc(sizeof(struct ctxt));
So that (*target).*(ctxt)*context.a should refer to the int a in struct context.
But the error that the compiler gives me is a syntax one:
"expected identifier before '*' token"
Is my logic correct? Is my C correct?

The usual way to access to a virtual machine console from a VmWare server 2 is to use Firefox :
- you type the URL of your VmWare server, e.g. : https://myserver:8333
- then you click on the console tab, for the vm you want to access to
- the first time, firefox tells you to install a dedicated plug-in
- then, when you click on the right panel, a new window appears for the vm console.
But on a fresh installed x64 Suse 11.3, with Firefox 3.6.6, the plug-in does not open the window and you get an error : "Cannot access virtual machine console. The request timed out." There is a workaround that I find much more convenient than to use firefox :
- you need to access to your vmware server installation :
/usr/lib/vmware/webAccess/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.16/webapps/ui/plugin
- you fetch the vmware-vmrc-linux-x64.xpi file and you copy it somewhere on your Suse PC (e.g. /home/myhome)
- you change the extension : mv vmware-vmrc-linux-x64.xpi vmware-vmrc-linux-x64.tar.gz
- you unzip it : unzip vmware-vmrc-linux-x64.tar.gz (it will create 2 files and 2 directories : components and plugins)
- you will run the VmWare plug-in directly : plugins/vmware-vmrc
- for the hostname, you have to enter : myserver:8333
- and it works !

Quote: It's no secret that Web sessions that use the bare HTTP protocol to transmit and receive data are susceptible to a variety of security attacks. What's less clear is how much information is floating out there in the ether, especially with the rise of "Web 2.0" and rich social networking applications and other Web based sharing tools.
But now a pair of researchers have created a tool to identify and capture the social networking sessions of those around you. The tool, a Firefox browser extension dubbed "Firesheep," was demonstrated at the ToorCon Hacking Conference in San Diego on Sunday. Its primary purpose is to underscore the lack of effective transaction security for many popular social networking applications, including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and iGoogle: allowing users to browse public wifi networks for active social networking sessions using those services, then take them over using a built-in "one-click" session hijacking feature. Firesheep works on unencrypted wireless LAN connections with services that do not use secure HTTP.

I am not able to play certain encrypted DVD's under Lenny. Some of these DVD's worked fine in a previous installation (Mandriva 2008.1) in the same laptop (nx6125). I tried with several players (Kaffeine, vlc, mplayer), but nothing works. I know that the DVD drive is OK, since I was a able to watch an unencrypted DVD. I also have libdvdnav4, libdvdread3, libdvdcss2, w32codecs already installed.
This is the error message from Kaffeine:

I have been testing with the ATI Catalyst drivers. I have made a package from the 9.12. I have found that they were not working the way I want, so i tried to switch back via synaptic. I have removed everything which had to do to "fglrx"
now when I restart, here is the message i get
Quote:
UBUNTU is running in low graphic mode The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this. (EE) failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)
For information, it does start in low graphic mode. I have reinstalled the "fglrx" module, but the problem is still the same. If I reinstall the fglrx drivers from synaptic or terminal, I am back with the newer catalyst driver. I cannot switch back to the ubuntu repository one it seem.
I have done the following to try to get the open source back
Quote:
sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh # (if it exists)
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*
sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
I still have the same problem. Now I do not have any package installed with "fglrx" I have reconfigured xserver-xorg and it will only start in low graphic mode.

I've read about the open source PIM Chandler and how it's kind of a new twist on software of its kind (although I guess I missed the release by a few years...) and I've been dying to try it out. I've had no success, however. It seems the most recent release is for Jaunty and I'm running Maverick. I guess there are some pretty well entrenched dependency issues. These talk about it: here and here. There doesn't seem to be a solution anywhere.. Does anyone have a potential solution to this? Has anyone even heard of Chandler?

My sister works a lot with boating frame design, etc. and she needs a program that calculates all the measurements for you, but the program she wants only runs on Windows and costs $275.
Here is the website to the program: http://www.clearwatercanvas.com/ and/or http://www.kingrichardco.com/FrameBenders/EZFrame.htm
Is there an open sourced alternative to this program that is free, or is there a simple way to make an open sourced alternative?

I am looking for an opensource-software that works with debian/ubuntu. I want to count rows from a couple of MySQL-tables on a server and that way keep statistics of changes in those tables. The tables should be read something like every night, and it shows how customers and subscriptions are changing. Today there is about 10 000 rows * a couple of tables, and it would be nice if it is presented in a webpage...

I have an older iBook G4, which suffers to do anything remotely productive despite it's 1.2ghz PPC proc and 1gb of RAM. I was considering on putting the community version of Ubuntu on it just for funsies, but I want to be able to watch flash videos. Is there any sort of gnash or something that can play ..... videos on PPC chips, or am I better off just sticking with OSX 10.4 on it?

So I have seen several super boot disks based on winpe(Like Bartpe super boot disk) out there and I am wondering if anyone can happen to point me to one that is based off open source software.
Super Boot Disk = A single boot disk that accomplishes a great many common tasks needed to rescue a system.some things that I am looking for in this would be: Virus scan, memory test, bootloader recovery, hard disk drive recovery/testing, gparted, clonzilla.and whatever else you could think of.I see that gparted and clonzilla both have live cd's available..but im looking to only carry one disk.

Does anyone know if it's possible to grab the temperatures from an ATI card using the open source radeon driver (not fglrx/catalyst).
I must say that the radeon driver has come a long way and works wonderfully under Lucid for my needs. I'm just a bit worried about the lack of PM support and how high my temps might be. I would prefer some way to keep an eye on things

Is there a good open source alternative to flash and/or java out there? I really don't want to support adobe and java irritates me because for some reason I can't install it without also installing firefox (why are they dependent?) so I'd like to try something else.

I have been trying to get sound to work through the open source HDMI drivers, does anyone know how to do this?
I get a perfect picture through HDMI but no sound. The ATI HDMI option is not muted and is enabled. I dont know what else to do. I opened a terminal and did "aplay -l" and I can see the device in there. I DO get sound using the proprietary drivers supplied by ATI, but I get screen tearing and makes the picture look horrible.. So for now its Sound vs Picture quality... Why cant I have both :/

I have been looking into netcasting/podcasting and have been shopping around for multi-video switching programs. I like VidBlaster (example: [url]), however it seems that it is not currently supported by any Linux O/S.
I find mostly tips on how to use a cracked key. This is NOT what I'm looking for. If there is a way to make VidBlaster work on my system, great. If there is an open-source substitute.
