Ubuntu :: Program Path For Document Viewer?
Mar 19, 2010
I've been searching the site to find out what the program path is for Ubuntu programs, but can't find what I'm looking for. My search terms were :
- "program path" Ubuntu
- change "program path"
- "open with" "program path"
I came across a few articles but nothing really seemed to help me. Here's the problem; anytime I try to open a PDF file from my browser, I get either the "Open With..." option or the "Save to..." option.
If I select "Open With..." the default has been changed to Virus Scanner (ClamTK) which I recently installed. Admittedly, I was fooling around with virus scanners to see how they work in Ubuntu. But now my Document Viewer won't open up the PDF files. If I select "Save to..." and save the PDF file(s) to my desktop, and double-click the PDF file from my desktop, then Document Viewer will open up the file. What is the program path for me to change the default program back to Document Viewer???

I'm using my laptop to read an ebook, and as I have no table where I read, i just rotate the screen to the right and hold the laptop as I was holding a book.. the problem I have now is the scrolling. So I have a couple Ideas, but I haven't found how to implement them, maybe someone knows how to do it, and could point me to the right direction.
1.- Use the webcam. Is there any way to use my left thumb to control the scrolling trough some kind of gestures in the webcam. 2.- Create a shortcut. I tried to create a new shortcut and assign it to the bluetooth key of my laptop, but I couldn't find any "command" that means scroll down

I am using UBUNTU 10.10 on my desktop and it is running quite well. But I got a problem from last few days. Document Viewer is not responding at all. When I click to open a .pdf file, it shows nothing without a loading icon on the right hand top corner. I have waited a long, but it did not seem to change. Today I have removed document viewer using ubuntu software center and reinstalled it, but the problem exist. What should I do?

I am actually impressed with the innovation with scrollbars in Natty. However, when I'm using Ubuntu Classic, I cannot scroll document viewer horizontally because the handle gets under the lower panel (see screenschot attached)I have read somewhere that the new scrollbar is meant to save space, and the handle will automatically appear when hovered: the handle will appear outside the window if the window is smaller than the screen, and inside if the window or document is maximized or no space left outside the window. In my case, even if the document viewer (which is viewing a pdf) is maximized, the horizontal scrollbar still appears below the document. I needed to remove the lower panel just to scroll the document horizontally.

I'm trying to lock down firefox, and have currently stopped all downloads.
I am trying to find an addon for 3.6.3 that will allow viewing of pdf files within the browser, not requing them to be downloaded.
I have tried pdfdownload and the google docs viewer, and they both still come up with the download prompt when you try to access a pdf.
Can anyone recommend a way to make it so when you clikc on a pdf it opens in the browser, always?

I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu, but have started migrating as I like what I see. However, I found a problem with Document Viewer. After downloading and viewing a PDF, when I try to print either the current page or a page range, it insists on printing the full document. I could not find this bug documented anywhere. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with the latest fixes etc.

Is there a way to get Document Viewer to display Chinese characters in a pdf? Adobe Viewer does but I would prefer to avoid proprietary software. I cannot get either Document Viewer or Okular to properly show Chinese characters in pdf documents downloaded from my college class homepage.
I have all the Chinese language support files, bells and whistles (both traditional and simplified) loaded and operational. When I create a Chinese document in OO Writer and save it as a pdf, both DocViewer and Okular display the the Chinese characters properly. I just cannot get either DocViewer or Okular to display Chinese in pdfs that are downloaded from the website of my course's online textbook/workbook.
Running 9.10 full boat version on an EEE 1000HD netbook.

In Ubuntu 10.04 using Document Viewer 2.30.0 I've noticed that every time I open the program or a PDF file I haven't opened before the window size seems to reset to default. Thumbnails sidebar re-enables, view goes back to "Fit Page Width" and the actual size of the window goes back to being very small (default).

Evince will not open. Initially I was having problems with Evince not retaining settings (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lu...ce/+bug/503372), but now it just won't open. I tried a reinstall of the software and that didn't fix it.

I'm using Document Viewer 2.32 (Evince) under Ubuntu 10.10 and my shortcut for the "Rotate Right" option used to be Ctrl + Right. It worked ok since a few days ago, now appears this shortcut is backspace. I've tried to reinstall Evince packages but this doesn't work. Since this is really annoying I would like to know how to change this program "Rotate Right" shortcut back to Ctrl + Right.

Is it possible to safely remove Document Viewer from Ubuntu system? When I try to uninstall it using the Software Center it says that the Ubuntu Desktop system will go with it. Is there another, safer way?

Ubuntu 9.10 54 bit
XSane 0.996
Document Viewer 2.28.1
Brother MFC 240c multi function scanner, printer, fax
So I am cleaning up some old paper records from 2009. I scanned about 25 pages of old medical receipts, prescription receipts etc. as a multi page project. The destination was a pdf file. The desired file is created and I can open it in the default Document Viewer. When I try to print to my Brother HL5170DN laser printer (just one page as a test) I get a message in the print queue window:
Processing Printer warning
com.apple.print.recoverable
and the job never prints. I can print pdf files from other sources such a printing a web page to a file/pdf, pdf files downloaded or created on other computers etc.
If I print the pdf created by XSane and viewed in Document Viewer to the MFC 240c ink jet printer, the pages are about 3/4 size, not the full size pages I scanned.
I am forced to do my scanning and pdf writing on an XP virtual machine running on the Ubuntu box under VMWare

I am trying to fill out this PDF form:
http://www.math.washington.edu/Grads...mentalform.pdf
In Document Viewer, I can click on the fields and type in them, but after spending about 2 hours writing descriptions of courses, I saved it and... it closed the document I was working on, and loading the document I saved resulted in empty fields that could no longer be edited at all - clicking on them did nothing - it looked like a blank form, except it was also broken.
Is there any way I can actually fill in this form...

I'm installing some software on a RedHat based O/S and have the instruction to
- 'Edit the document document name on the installation path.'
How do I find what the installation path is for this document? Are all programs installed in the same basic place on Linux machines?
I have tried the 'locate' command and it is not found. I have tried (find / -name 'documentname') and get a whole bunch of output saying:
find: /lost+found: Permission denied
find: /proc/tty/driver: Permission denied
find: /proc/1/task/1/fd: Permission denied
find: /proc/1/fd: Permission denied

Atleast I think it's a terminal program. I remember several years ago while using Redhat 7 when working in the terminal it would automatically complete the pathnames and filenames for you. If I was typing in the terminal "cd downloads" but I only typed "cd do" it would automatically complete my command with "cd documents" but if I continued to type "cd dow" it would know that I don't mean the documents folder and it would know the only other folder path with a dow in it is downloads. I'm not sure if my description is 100% accurate but I think you get the idea. Ubuntu doesn't seem to have this by default and I'm curious if I can get it. Is it a terminal program/client I need to use, or just an option? I don't know what it's called so I've had a hard time googling for it!

I'm looking to allow sudo for openvpn for a user.
I cannot find the openvpn program path though, i try a 'which openvpn' command and it returns nothing! :S
What is the path? or how to allow a normal user account to run openvpn with sudo?
Solution found:
Working directories for openvpn on debian 8 are:
/etc/openvpn
/usr/sbin/openvpn
To add sudo capability to a guest account, run this with your admin account:
Code: Select allsudo visudo
then add the line, with your guest username substituted:
Code: Select allusername ALL=/etc/openvpn, /usr/sbin/openvpn
tada! guest account now runs only openvpn.
