Ubuntu :: Recommended Alternative For Xmarks?
Jan 30, 2010
I've been having some issues with the speed of firefox recently (on a netbook) and have been trying out other browsers such as chrome and midori. Currently I'm using xmarks, which fits my needs nicely however, I'm looking for an alternative that gives similar functionality and would allow me to access my bookmarks from several different computers (using both midori and chrome browsers).
xmarks has a development version for chrome, which is not working at the moment, and I cannot find any plans for xmarks in midori.

Google suggests that the latter, Mac software running on Linux, isn't possible. However, it also returns results that haven't changed for some time, which is why I'd like to know if anything has changed since then. Namely, Safari. Despite only having used an actual Mac once, I like Safari, and so far have the Windows version working fine under Wine. However, one of the things stopping me using it more is add-ons. In Firefox, I use Xmarks. Xmarks supports Safari - on a Mac. To my knowledge, this is no Windows Safari version. So, if I can't run it on the Windows version for now, what I want to do is run the Mac one instead, and use it there, if possible. I suspect neither is actually possible, at least for now. But it's always nice to have confirmation.

It's that simple. 1) through the toolbar, it's not one of the listed extensions.
2) going to xmark's website, and downloading it, it downloads a .xpi file. There is no where to place this file. there was no /usr/lib/mozilla/extensions folder, so i created it, and when adding the .xpi file, iceweasel didn't find it.
putting the stupid thing in /usr/bin/firefox/plugins also didn't work.
iceweasel is crap

So I'm getting a new laptop soon, and it ships with Windows 7 64-bit. So I assume I have to use 10.04 64-bit. I noticed that the download page says "not recommended for daily use". I was wondering why this is, and if there were any things I need to look out for when using Ubuntu and 64-bit. I read the older FAQ thread in the closed 64-bit forum, but I wanted to make sure I got more recent information.

I have Ubuntu 10.10 but I can only use Windows 7 now (I hate it). Here's why: when I go to the boot screen and I am given the choice of using Windows 7 or Ubuntu and I select Ubuntu, the screen goes black and says:
error: unknown command 'loadfont' error: file not found
Then I have to reset my laptop and use Windows 7. This happened when I was using Ubuntu like I usually did and I downloaded recommended updates from Ubuntu. I downloaded them and I was asked to reset my laptop for it to be effective. I did and when the boot screen came up it said what it says above. I can't even get to the login screen. I've been searching everywhere for an answer.

I'm using 10.10. The FSpot and Shotwell programs that came with 10.10 don't seem to have any good controls for adjusting slide show display of photos. Could anyone recommend a good photo slide show display program that allows one to adjust pan, display time, smooth transitions, etc.

2) it can break some DHCP implementations ?
Is there any other reasons that I have missed ?

I am currently in the process of purchasing a new laptop, however there is such a great range of laptops out there. When I finally purchase a new laptop I will be running the latest Ubuntu on it (probaly 11.04 0r 11.10), I will be using the laptop for downloading and burning alot of movies to DVD's, watching movies (from DVD's and my portable hard drive), using office, surfing the web, using email and live chat as well as other basic tasks (updating and downloading software). I would really like to know what CPU and how much ram is recommended for a laptop running these processes regularly.

I have a server setup with all my web development stuff in /var/www and in several sub-folders within that. (each project having it's own folder)It works great with one FTP account. But recently I've been getting help on a projects from a buddy of mine that freelances, and have made him an FTP user account as well. All is fine, except for when he tries to edit a file and gets a permissions error.
Here's the issue, I don't want us to have the same FTP login, but all the files are currently owned by my user name. So, when he logs in to edit a file, he can't because I'm the owner, and the files are set to 744. Will I cause any harm by adding both users to the same group (www-data) and chmod'ing the files to 775 so that we can both access and modify the files?

I'm fed up with Gentoo and would like to migrate to Ubuntu. I just installed 10.04 Beta, but I'm wondering if I should continue configuring my system. Is it possible/easy/painless to upgrade to the release version when it comes out? Or should I stop investing any work into the beta right now and wait for the release?

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server the other day, which gives me access to a command line only, to start out with. I'm hoping someone would be able to recommend a guide (online or a book, either way) for absolutely clueless beginners, so that I can learn to competently get around from the command line.
This would include information like:
Navigating the file system.
Editing text document.
Installing drivers.
Mounting data sources.
Installing and configuring packages.
and eventually installing a desktop environment.

I was wondering: Is there a way to upgrade to a new Ubuntu version without completely reinstalling the system and to use the recommended apps and settings of the new version?
Reason I ask is that almost every time I upgraded to a new version by using the update-manager and than later installed that new Ubuntu version on another computer from scratch, I noticed that there are some differences. For example let's say the new version promoted a new UI design or some default apps have been replaced. These changes have not been applied to the upgraded version.

I decided to create a file server for my family. I have set up a RAID 6 (4 disk) array. My thoughts were to back up the array to a hard drive monthly. Store the drive in a WiebeTech Drivebox, off site, in a "fire proof" box. (The kind for papers sold at Staples or Office Depot. After a year, I would have 12 back-ups. I would then overwrite the previous hard drive. (i.e. HDD from March 2011 would be overwritten on March 2012.)
Additionally, I was wondering if there was recommended maintenance to verify the array is working properly. Right now, I am moving data to the array so quickly that I am backing up every few days between three hard drives. (Back-up #4 was written to Drive #1 after Drive #1 was reformatted.) I am aware that I could use rsync. (Which I currently use for backing up my portable USB HDD to the RAID array.)

I am running a very stable F13 on my little box and I was thinking to upgrade from F13 directly to F15 using the preupgrade-cli tool. Is this recommended, or should I go to F14 first? I would like to skip that step:
The F13 is my home server with a lot of services:
- IMAP (dovecot)
- Postfix
- Postgresql
- apache (tons of php)
- vmware workstation 7.1.4
- dhcpd
- named
- samba
- squid
I am worried that the upgrade will break something. I spent a lot of time setting these things up.

I have just bought a single board computer that has linux running on it and am trying to get bluetooth communications going between the SBC and my PC. The board can be found here [URL].. I was hoping i could buy two usb dongles, one to bluetooth enable my pc and the other to plug into the usb port on the SBC to setup 2 way comms. However I get the impression this sounds far simpler to implement than it will be in practice.
Could anyone offer some suggestions to dongles that are linux compatible and how to go about implementing them into my project?
