I've noticed on a couple of occasions that e-mail address auto-complete drop down lists have e-mail addresses in that I have never entered (!!) They all seem to be for people with the surname fenton at either gmail or hotmail. Is it likely that I have been hacked?
View 3 RepliesA very annoying bug has been around for some time now. Auto-complete in the address field on Firefox does not work after Ubuntu resumes after screensaver. What I have to do is to minimise the browser and then maximise it again... it then auto-complete as it should. Surely I cannot be the only one noticing this? I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and Firefox 3.6.13.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm very much used to typing "evo" for launching evolution, chrom to get chromium etc, when on alt+f2.
Now, in Unity, I get suggestions as icons when typing, but not the "auto-complete" I had in 10.10.
It's annoying to have to use the mouse to select the application to run each time.
I installed the Autocomplete plugin http:[url].... for gedit and it works great. But when I ran it as root "sudo gedit ...", Autocomplete is not on the list of plugin and the auto complete function is not working.Is it possible to make the plugin available to all users?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn older versions of ubuntu I could use tab to autocomplete folder names multiple times in one command in a terminal, for example:
Code:
tar -cvf myapp.tar --exclude='/var/www/f[TAB]older-name/cache/*' --exclude='/var/www/f[TAB]older-name/sessions/*' /var/www/f[TAB]older-name
Now only the first tab works, is there any way to get this behavior back?
How do I have an auto completion feature for scp? I often need to 'scp ' a file to a remote server, then I type:
PHP Code:
scp someprogram paulga@pinherstforestrain.math.edu
I'd begin to type tab before or after the input of @. But the available choices are mainly:
@localhost6, @localhost.localdomain, @localhost, etc..
Which file records these hosts name? Second, to execute a program in current directory, I have to type ./program, how can I omit the prefix, or I could type it as I type "octave",etc.
complete cd 'p/l/d/'
complete mkdir 'p/l/d/'
complete rmdir 'p/l/d/'

I've got an annoying problem that 'man' and some other commands do not auto-complete (via TAB). e.g. typing: man rsyn (TAB, TAB, TAB, etc) will not auto-complete to 'man rsync' however, if i 'sudo -s' & then try the above, 'man' auto-completes everytime. (Directories always auto-complete successfully) My ~/.bashrc contains:
Code:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
. /etc/bash_completion

I recently installed 32bit maverick and wanted to make it login automatically. I tried enabling auto login from Admin > Login but that didnt work and I was still prompted for my password. Then I went to Users & Groups and changed the password option to Do Not ask for password at login now after I reboot, the user list is shown (only 1 user) and it doesnt ask for password after I click on my username.
However, then it gives a few errors (as i vaguely recall):
1. cannot load .ICE directory in my home directory
2. some error 256 about a gconf-sanity-2 file
3. nautilus cannot load my home directory etc
and then it gets stuck without loading anything (blank wallpaper). i ve tried navigating to my home directory using Alt F2, gksudo nautilus and my home dir contents are encrypted by the ecryptfs (there is a readme.txt file and a shortcut). i have tried to decrypt but it doesnt work... i ve also tried to start/stop gdm, and startx but nothing works. if i stop gdm, then the prompt doesnt recognize my password and keeps on rejecting the commands i enter... I think this has something to do with the home dir not being decrypted due to the dont ask for paswd option... how can i disable the dont ask for pwd without the gui (i can access my / by booting through an external usb).
Despite enabling the "auto-complete" to complete an e-mail address from my personal Address-book, it doesn't work. After pressing on the "To"-button, no e-mail address is visible in the list of contacts. That is strange since the contacts are visible within the address book itself. However, when I typed the name of a contact within the "Search"-field of the address book, it also shows no result. Strange... Additional info: two days ago I replaced addressbook.db in Debian manually by the addressbook.db from Ubuntu 11.04 (I'm migrating from Ubuntu 11.04 to Debian Squeeze). It seems that there is no connection between the visible contacts in the address book and the rest of the Evolution. How can I solve it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed F15 and although different, I like it a lot. One thing I don't like, however, is the default auto-completion of environment variables in the terminal. In F14 and older, if you type for instance
Code:
ls $HOME and hit TAB, auto-complete will list the contents of $HOME to search deeper, so to say. But in F15, the terminal automatically escapes the $ sign. If you do the same as above, you get
Code:
ls $HOME
instead of
Code:
ls /home/benny/
how to change the auto-complete settings of the terminal so that $'s are not escaped anymore?
How could I disable this annoying feature?

Already in Ubuntu 10.10 I faced some odd behaviour after the login, e.g. the icons for maximizing or closing were gone, but after reloading with compizfusion icon, they appeared back (for both compiz and metacity).
After the update to 11.04, certain applications just crashes permanently after some time, like Firefox, Synaptic or Libreoffice (now gone). Additionally the screen shows sometimes orphaned pixel or logs out completely.
I'm using an Intel graphic cards from the notebook Hp 2740p. I couldn't find any errors in the log viewer and also a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 in Unity and Gnome as well in Linux Mint, couldn't solve the problem. I also deleted config folders from my homefolder, like .gnome, .gconf, etc. to see if there would be a change. But this strange behaviour still persists.
As I setup a new user the behaviour was gone for sometime, but came finally back after some days, without messing around with any configurations.
I was just looking around and did a tail on my syslog and some strange entries came up:

I'm a Verizon customer in Maryland, USA running Linux at my home and I don't understand why named is looking at servers in France and Saudi Arabia. Am I just being paranoid?
Like many (most?) home users, until now I've had my regular userid in sudoers as "ALL = (ALL) ALL". It occurs to me that, even though my machine has no open ports, this is probably not a good idea - just in case my firewall suddenly burns down. So, if my thinking is right on this, I'm wondering if there is a generally approved list of Cmnd_Alias entries? At this point, I've decided to only add entries as I use them, and to try to honestly appraise my need to do the entry as sudo, vs opening a virtual console as root. My root password is non-trivial.

The problem is that NONE of my logs, secure, httpd, messages, NONE of them, show any trace of these hacking attempts. They used to show up in secure and apache error logs, but no longer.

View 11 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know when we'll see Firefox 3.0.19 packaged for 8.04 LTS? I'm still stuck at 3.0.18. And what will happen after this? My understanding is that after .19 Mozilla is dropping support for FF 3.0.
Upgrade policies not withstanding, I find it rather annoying when an "LTS" release doesn't keep up with the most security-critical package in the distro, the browser. 8.04 LTS should have moved to FF 3.5+ a *long* time ago. Now it seems it will be forced to do so or else just forget about browser updates for the last year of 8.04?
