Ubuntu :: Resources Links Don't Work Any Longer?
Oct 23, 2010
Since I've moved the /home directory to a new mountpoint
(UUID=160b687f-3e30-472e-97c2-7fd6149ec2a0 /home ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2 in the fstab menu)
I have troubles with the links on the places menu. all the links there that point to /home or to one of its subdirectories don't work any longer.
The links to usb drivers and other places work just fine.
I've tried reinstalling xdg and gnome-menu, but no success.
if I do cat .xsession-errors right after trying to click on one of the links in the menu this is what I see:
giulio@giulio:~$ cat .xsession-errors
...
/home/giulio: /home/giulio: is a directory

So, approx 2 weeks ago, clicking on links in Thunderbird stopped working. There is no response in the browser whether it is open or not. I am able to paste the links to the browser just fine. Being congenitally lazy, I would rather just click them. I have upgraded to the latest version of Thunderbird and have the same issue. I have tried using Swiftfox, Firefox and Opera - all give the same non-response.
Am not getting any error messages, the links just do not open. Can't find any settings relevant to this issue.Any bright ideas out there?

It appears that clicking on a link in Firefox doesn't work until you move the mouse, i.e. if I put the mouse on a link and hold it stationary and click the link, nothing happens, but as soon as I move the mouse, the link then activates. Sometimes, I have to double click the link to get it to work. I've read some posts where people claim that Firefox "freezes" until you move the mouse. In my case, Firefox doesn't "freeze" in the traditional sense. It just that clicking a link doesn't behave properly as it should. I didn't have this problem in 8.04LTS (or previous distributions for that matter) only in 10.04LTS. I'm running the 32-bit version on a Dell Latitude D600 laptop with nvidia-common driver 0.2.23.

i have a Realtek RTL8192E Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC card on my Samsung r580 laptop that i just installed Ubuntu studio 10.04 on. I am wondering how to get the wireless card working in Ubuntu. I saw some info on my card here *url #1 (the urls i reference are in the attached txt file called urls.txt because i couldn't post the actual urls because apparently i need to post 15 times or something which i don't have time for at the moment)* and then i went here to download ndiswrapper *url #2* and both of the links on that page don't work. I followed the instructions on this page *urls #3* to get the info on my card. here is the info when i typed "lspci -knn" into the terminal in ubuntu studio. Code: 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller [8086:0044] (rev 12)

I work in a lab when all the guys use PCs with Windows and access the lab linux servers via ssh.
I prefer linux, so I have a local installation of ubuntu 10.4 on my PC. I mount the home of our lab server using mount server:/home /mnt/home/. I can then access the files on the server (I had to change my local UID to match the one assigned to me on our server in order to be able to write to my home dir).
The problem is all the (symbolic) links I have on the server don't work when I access them through the mounted location. I guess the system simply tries following the link in my local /home instead on server:/home.

I can't seem to get javascript to work in links. According to the documentation, there should be an entry in the setup menu for javascript options, and I don't even have that. I'm using slackware 13, and it came with links 2.2. I thought maybe it wasn't installed with javascript support, so I downloaded the source (2.3pre1) and reinstalled it:but still no javascript options in the menu.. and I verified that I was running the new version.

Recently Firefox is showing some but not all the links inside a page in a website that I use every day.Firefox had worked well in the past years with this site, so I made a few tests:- I tested the web page on Firefox 3.5.9 on Fedora 12. Some links missing.- I tested the same web page on IE8 on Windows Vista. No issues, all links there.- I tested the same web page downgrading Firefox to version 3.5.4 and downgrading the required libraries. Same issue, some links missing.- I compared the html code that the web server hands to both IE8 and Firefox. They are exactly the same.I don't know enough about html or javascript to understand why Firefox doesn't like some of this code portion.
Code:
<td align='left'>
<p class='liga'><a href="javascript:GeneraId('11')"><img src="image.gif" BORDER=0

I just setup my first Linux box using [URL] everything went along fine except now I have a problem that I cannot seem to solve. I've set up a webpage on the box for my company's intra-net for testing purposes but I cannot get the links to work. On the server itself all the links work but Firefox still ask me to authenticate with the Adobe Flashplayer (player10), but when I access the page from another computer I have the following issues:-
1. Even though hostname -f shows the a fully qualified domain name I have to use the IP Address eg. 192.168.100.100
2. I can access the page but the links leading to the other pages do not work I get "Webpage cannot be found or the HTTP 404 Not Found" Error Message
3. None of the embedded pictures show up I get the red X.

At my Uni, we use a web-based login for our internet connections. Its based off of Cisco, and every Wednesday night every computer on campus must re-enter their credentials to use the network.
Normally on my several computers I simply pull up the Terminal, point links to google.com using
Code:
And enter my credentials when Cisco redirects to the login page.
Literally, the process is
Code:
Then ENTER to accept the redirect, down arrow to skip over the logo image, USERNAME, ENTER, PASSWORD, ENTER, ENTER.
Naturally, this is EXTREMELY time consuming, as I have about 5 computers located around campus and must physically walk to the machines and login every single week.
My question is, How would I formulate a program that does the following;
1) checks for connectivity (i.e. is able to reach/resolve to the greater part of the internet) and
2) automatically fills in the credentials on the links login page?

I have been using a cron job to duplicate a folder into another users account every day and someone suggested using symbolic links instead although I cannot get them to work. In summary user GAMER generates log files that they want to access via HTTP, however I only have a web-server in the user account SERVER, in the past I would copy the logs folder from GAMERS account into SERVER/public_html/. and then chmod the files so the server could access them. Trying to use symbolic links I set up a link from root (as only root can access both accounts) I used: ln -s /home/GAMER/game/logs/ /home/SERVER/public_html/logs
However it seems that only root can use this link, I tried chmoding the link, all the files in the gamers /game/logs/*, /game/logs itself to 777 as well as changing chown and chgrp to server the files still cannot be read. When viewed from servers account my shell shows the link and where it is to hi-lighted in black with red text. /home/GAMER/game/ (chmod & chgrp) drwxrwxrwx 3 SERVER SERVER 4096 2011-01-07 15:46 logs
/home/SERVER/public_html (chmod -h & chgrp -h)

after updating to fedora 15, the http links in Thunderbird doesn't work.I have tried many solutions, but without result.
- in prefs.js add :user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ftp", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https", "/usr/bin/firefox");- I have tried it with KDE and GNOME.
- move .thunderbird to .thunderbird.backup and reopen thunderbird. But still same problem.
- When I create a new user it works correctly! So I think it must be related to the update.
- I also change the default application (in System Settings) to google-chrome and Opera. But no result.
- http-links in other application (dolphin, nautilus, ...) works correctly

I have a personal wiki of notes, with now thousands of links in markdown format:
[link text](http://example.com)
but now that fckeditor is available for mediawiki (very beta), it has become much better to just stick with wikitext format. There are only a few conversions to do: tables, links, and bulleted lists. The lists are a fairly simple regex and fckeditor magically reformats the tables, so all I'm left with is the links. But I'm not a regex master. How do I reformat code...

I try to fetch links from a URL using HTML::LinkExtor, but it always return 0 links even if the status code is 200 OK. I am running the following code in Ubuntu 9.04, just curious if the module is too old and its ways of HTTP request is disabled by some platforms.
Code:

I have a annoying problem, my screensavers in ubuntu 10.04 no longer work. When the screensaver is supposed to activate all I get is a blank screen. This started happening after I installed xscreensaver and copied all of it's 200+ screensavers over to to gnome-screensaver's directory. I have since removed xscreensaver. I have tried multiple screensavers, old and new, reinstalling xscreensaver, and reinstalling gnome-screensaver to no avail. Not even locking the screen will make the screensaver function properly, although I can preview the screensavers.

Since installation (Christmas Day, I believe; had to reinstall, but that's irrelevant) I've been using Zeitgeist to log used applications/websites (via the Chrome extension)/songs (via the Rhythmbox extension) and Synapse to launch applications. However, recently Zeitgeist has seemingly stopped logging things. Nothing launched from Synapse or otherwise is saved to the activity journal. After two re-installations of both Synapse and Zeitgeist (including using the complete removal feature in Synaptic to erase all Zeitgeist related actions and applications) (as well as removing the ppa and reinstalling via Terminal), it is still no dice. I don't know what's causing the problem and am at a loss for what to do now.
When I launch Activity Journal it shows at the bottom bars when it was still working, which looks to take up the majority of the area above the word January, but when I roll back to look at what was launched the bars reset and there's nothing there. Also, it seems that it only logs things when I have activity journal open. When I close and open activity journal again it deletes whatever it saved.

It looks like the desktop amusements that used to work under KDE 3.5 no longer work in the current v4. I've installed xpeguins, but it does not seem to produce any output on the display. I have enabled desktop effects, but no penguins appear. Is there some setting needed for this to work?
I'm running SUSE 11.3/KDE 4.5.3.

There must be something turned on in the security settings keeping Desktop Launchers from working.I have verified that the launchers have execute bit turned on in the permissions, yet when try to start one, I get an alert window saying this is an Untrusted application launcher.How do I disable this feature, or in the alternative, make them trusted?

Recently I've been working intensively in my laptop (F12 x86_64) and so I usually only suspend it when I move between home and school, so I can continue working exactly where I left.
Alongside with a problem (now irrelevant given the context) of sluggish video performance after resuming from suspend (addressed in another thread), I've found another annoying problem involving sound (it embarrassed me in the library): after suspend I can no longer use headphones! Sure, I can have them on, but the laptop speakers play as well!
I tried several things in alsamixer and the only option was to entirely shut the volume down.
Of course I would hate to reboot the machine, besides I imagine it is a matter of restarting some service.
Is there a fix or at least a workaround for this sound issue without rebooting the machine?

I keep training SpamAssassin with the spam that slips through, but don't see any improvement is spam detection. The details are these: Using ssh I trained SpamAssassin with examples of spam and ham I had saved for that purpose, perhaps 500 of each. I set up email recipes such that spam@example.com would go through sa-learn --spam --mbox, and ham@example.com would go through sa-learn --ham --mbox. Since then I have forwarded (as an attachment) any spam that slips through to spam@... and an equal amount of fresh ham to ham@...
That worked well for about a year. Spam in the inbox went from 150 per day to less than one per week on average, with no false positives. Naturally, spam blooms sometimes appeared, but training dealt with them.
I wrote up my spam setup in greater detail in these notes to myself:[URL].. For the past month or so, however, a steady stream of nearly identical spam has been getting through and despite training it all I see no change in spam scores on it. Here are relevant headers from a typical message:
(snip)
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-6.6 required=3.5
tests=BAYES_00,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED,STOX_REPLY_TYPE autolearn=ham
version=3.002005
(snip)
X-AVES-Antispam: Maybe spam, 17.32 >= 4.00 [as:15.30 cc:0.00 hc:2.02
sa:17.32]
(snip)
Notice that a spam filter on an upstream server correctly flagged it, but my SpamAssassin. Nor does the score on these nearly identical messages seem to change with training. Another clue: previously my spam folder was receiving fresh spam every hour. Since this problem began the spam folder receives almost nothing.
Sure, it would be easy to cook up a procmail recipe to filter on the upstream server's "maybe spam" header, but I'd rather fix the underlying problem with SpamAssassin, not cover it up. Prior to coming here I searched the web, consulted my web host's knowledge base's articles on SpamAssassin, and read everything relevant at spamassassin.apache.org, but I remain stumped.

I had a web server running from a Windows 7 computer and recently moved everything to an Ubuntu server. All is set up and running smoothly. I do have one page that actually interfaces with the serial port. The only thing I do with it is to set the DTR pin to "true" which applies +12v to the pin. This activates a relay. It is very basic and simple. After moving everything to Linux, this page will no longer work. I knew this would happen. I know the page had code in it to call out "Com1" which would change to "ttyS0". It also had "set_serDTR(True);" in the code. I can't figure out how to get PHP to control the DTR pin on a Linux serial port.

I'm having some trouble using sudo - it did work fine, but now when I try to use it, I have the following error:
I understand that I have to modify /etc/sudoers but need to have root access to do this. I am using a bootable USB (lucid) with persistent changes and am unable to login as root, because I don't know the default root password, and am unable to use sudo to change it.
The problem occurred after I had some corruption to the casper file system, so I booted into Windows, moved the casper-rw file to another location on my flashdrive, and used a 1GB backup filesystem to repair the corrupt one using fsck.
After booting up from the restored filesystem, sudo would no longer work.

When my Iphone had the 4.2.1 firmware it mounted just fine with Ubuntu, OK sure it took a download of libimobiledevice1 and some other libraries but it worked, and sync'd just fine with Rhythmbox. But, as all manufacturers do, they have released a superior new OS for the phone which fixes all those annoying little bug. I have read from 4.3.2 they changed the itunes database version to an updated one. Now this is fine if you have a windows or mac machine running the latest version of itunes but if like all of us here you have an Ubuntu machine for a very valid reason... i.e you wanted a better operating system that wasnt going to cost the earth.
well, you are screwed as they have locked the third part access to the device's itunes library. I have followed long procedures trying to hack into the phone, modifying certain files, creating a hashfile and dropping this into a system folder to fool the phone into thinking it has the 4.2.1 database still but to no avail. Now my iphone is jailbroken, for the very same reasons as to why have an ubuntu machine, a good peice of hardware with good software that i can customise to run how i see fit, this error is the same with my friends non jaibroken phone and my wifes newly updated iopd..
Surely someone out there who has an ipod, iphone 3gs who are running 4.3.2 or higher has figured out how to fix this annoying "update" problem. The phone mounts fine and i can see a documents drive and the main iphone itself, so it is being recognised but im getting errors when trying ti access the phone in ANY linux media software... They all see the phone but cant recognise the database.

I have a ZTE HSUPA USB Modem Model:MF636 which used to work great and then is not longer detected.
I am using Fedora 12 and was having problems with the modem not been properly detected and filed a bug, which turned not to be a problem of NetworkManager, but an issue with udev.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603433
I followed instructions to edit /lib/udev/rules.d/61-option-modem-modeswitch.rules and then it worked fine.
Now the modem is again not properly detected. Here is a copy of the results from dmesg code...
I have tried restoring the file that I edited. It was back to the stated previusly reported. I also have tried to run an older kernel. Then I updated to the latest kernel available for Fedora 12. Nothing seems to work.

Recently I have started using my netbook (Acer Aspire one D250) alot more due to travelling and I noticed that the mic didn't work. Headed to the Ubuntu forums and saw a thread about installing ALSA. So I did and now I have no sound. From what I can tell ubuntu is no longer picking up my sound devices but I'm sure. Hence why I am here. I need to get my sound working again (obviously) and then in turn get my mic working for mumble and other VOIP programs.
