Ubuntu :: Links From Widgets - Task Bar Shows An Instance Of Konqueror And Another Instance Of Firefox
Feb 15, 2010
I have KDE 4.4 and Firefox 3.6. Whenever I click a link from a plasmoid widget, it tries to open Konqueror and another instance of Firefox. The page actually loads in the opened Firefox window, but the task bar shows an instance of Konqueror and another instance of Firefox, that keeps loading for a while then close. See image below:
I currently have setup the browser default application as "firefox". If I set this option to use the default application, it opens in Konqueror and I don't see additional windows in the task bar. If I change the option to "firefox %u", then it exhibit the same issue, but the process is much faster, so the loading windows don't stay for long in the task bar. Additionally, it opens the link on a new Firefox window and opens the page twice. Although Konqueror is not loaded, the bouncing icon next to the mouse pointer shows up and stay for a while.
On Ubuntu 10.10 I started a 2nd instance of Firefox using the command: Firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote &Created a new profile and everything works smoothly except for the fact that this instance of FF does not obey by GTK2 customizations that I have placed in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.Moreover, only SOME of the customizations are not obeyed. For example, the vertical scrollbars are supposed to be on the left, but they are on the right. The scrollbar arrows are together (Mac-like) as specified, so is the scrollbar width.The first instance obeys all customizations with scrollbars on the left.
e.g.: I don't want to use Firefox Add-ons, and I need to be logged in several places [via HTTPS in ff], but it requires several proxys (so I don't want to install e.g.: foxyproxy).How can I exactly start several Firefox instances, so that I could use several proxys?
I installed CentOS 5.3 without major problems, and customized the installation to my heart's content, but I still do not have flash plugin active when I first open firefox. I have to close the first firefox window and from the second instance of firefox, the flash plugin works without any problem.
I am running Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud on two PCs, one as Controller, one as a node. I have downloaded two Ubuntu virtual machine images from the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Store and can successfully start instances of them with: euca-run-instances -k mykey emi-XXXXXXXX -t c1.medium
If I run this command I can see the instance is running: watch -n5 euca-describe-instances
I can ping the IP address of the VM instance from my Controller but I can't make an SSH connection to it. I'm following the instructions @ [URL] so I have tried connecting with: ssh -i ~/.euca/mykey.priv ubuntu@192.168.1.250
The result is: Permission denied (publickey).
If I try adding -v to the ssh command I get: OpenSSH_5.1p1 Debian-6ubuntu2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for *
Very new installation of openSuse 11.3 on T42 laptop. I was having trouble with a persistent notification and in trying to remove it have lost several important widgets including the speaker volume, wifi connection and upgrade notification icons.I cannot identify some of these from the add widgets option. Even tried a new installation with re format of root, (but retaining /home,) thinking that I would get all back to how it was, but no, the fresh installation has the widgets still missing. Is it possible the desktop configuration is on /home partition?
I need to set up an ubuntu 10.04 instance on ec2, but there are some instance ready available I tried with few but I am not really happy with that since those are meant for test puporse.
I have to deploy a java/j2ee based web app with mysql. 1)need to install tomcat 2)java runtime 6 3) apache web server
What would be the best image to use for my requirement and I initially planning to launch with the micro instance if my web app demands I may further move to small and larger instances. So it should be eligible for free usuage tier.
I might just be crazy or particularly dumb today but what I'm trying to do is have sed replace the first and second instance of a character on a line but not after that.
Basically it is a csv file with a date formatted as dd/mm/yyyy and I need to completely remove the slashes. No problem using:
Code: sed 's////g' < file > outputfile
The only problem is that one of the columns after this may also contain these slashes and shouldn't be removed.
I must have read every single sed page on the net today to find a way to do it to no avail! Is it as simple as :
Code: sed 's////1' < file > outputfile
And then run the same on the output file again? these two slashes will always be the first and second slashes in the file.
I'm trying to use tigthvnc (with ssh tunneling) in order to acess remotely my parent's kubuntu desktop. That way I'll give them some support when I'm at my home or office.
Practically I hadn't used vnc with linux, but I recall having used with windows. In linux when I logged to the remote machine (which runs vncserver) it's opens a new instance of X server. I'd like to access to the X session that's already opened. Let's suppouse my parents are logged into X with the user: john. I'd like to access john's session, to see and check his applications. In one word I'd like to vnc in linux behaves the same way as windows.
Is that possible with vnc? I'm using tightvnc. I tried -shared option in client, but no success.
I have a terminal that opens when the system starts and I was wondering if there is any way to keep it specifically, not other terminal windows, from appearing in the window switcher in compiz?
I'm trying to install a virtual 10.04 image on a 10.04 server host, and the method I used that worked with 9.10 now fails. For example, I try to install with the following virt-install command (as root):
Is there any way to make Dragon Player so there is just one running instance of it at a time? Like if i have something playing and i click on something else to play have it so that the instance currently running changes to the new file instead of opening a new window?
So i'm really loving the whole gnome-do/docky thing. My question is that on other docks, you can hold down a modifier key to launch a new instance rather then switching to an already opened instance of an app. So lets say I have chrome on the win7 dock
first click launches chrome other clicks will focus the opened window shift click will open a new instance of chrome ctrl-shift-click will launch a new instance as admin
I've beeb setting up keepalived/haproxy as a load balancer for our site.
If you keep it down to two load balancing instances it works just fine. However, I was told to add a 3rd load balancer to the mix and that adds a new wrinkle. I need to add a new keepalived instance and I can't quite figure out how that's done.
It would seem to me to be an issue of the priorities as that is the only thing I altered in the files. Initially, nodes A and B were set to 101 and 100 respectively. I set node A to 102, node B to 101 and node C to 100... keepalived restarts and the virtual IP is pingable. But the website goes down!
SO then I tried Node A set to 101, node B to 100 and node C to 99. Same thing, I restated keepalived and the site goes down, tho the virtual IP remains pinagble and keepalived and haproxy are running.
here is a sample config file from my setup:
Code: vrrp_instance VI_1 { state MASTER interface eth0 virtual_router_id 51
is it possible to run for instance pan remotely via ssh and make that instance of pan running on server, regardless upon closing it via ssh?for example i would love to do: start pan instance via ssh on the server keep it open while downloading close the ssh session, keep the pan running on the server in background. open ssh session and access the same instance of pan running on the server etc something in that loop.im unable to do that because when i close pan ssh remotely the instance automatically terminates on the server.
how to configure X11 forwadring over SSH so, that when I open any app over SSH, I get displayed window of a process that is already running on my server (in case its running ), not a new instance of it.
I have set up UEC on a single machine 64 bit blade. I have followed the steps as per the documentation.I am using Managed NOVlan mode. I have installed the Karmic kola image. When I try to run the instance, I get an error "no resources available. Try --addressing private". When I try addressing private, an ip address 172.19.1.2 is assigned and the instance was running.
a) When trying to ping the ip, error displayed that the host is unreachableb) I am also unable to connect to ubuntu@172.19.1.2 using ssh. Error message is displayed that " No route to host".I have searched the forums but couldnt find any solutionPS: I suppose everyone is very busy. I see very limited responses to posts. Sharing your experience and expertise will be helpful for all and will reiterate the meaning of ubuntu
I have setrup Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud on a single machine.
1) I am able to run the instances from store (karmic) On running the instance two ips are assigned (public and private) as 10.B.C.X and 172.19.1.2
2) I am able to connect to the instance (10.B.C.X) through ssh (using key)
3) However I am unable to access the instance outside the UEC (using public ip). When I try pinging, I get an error Request timed out or sometimes Destination host unreachable.
4) I have provided the following access using euca-authorize
Details below: 1) Hardware : Blade (64 bit) 2) Version : Ubuntu 9.10; Eucalyptus the one using apt-get install eucalyptus 3) Topology : Single physical system 4) Mode : Managed no-vlan
I didn't have this problem in GIMP 2.6.8: when I double clicked an image file in Nautilus, the file opened in an existing instance of the GIMP, if it was already running. Now, after I compiled and installed GIMP 2.6.10, a double-clicked file opens into a new instance of the program. The same for files that are dropped on the GIMP icon in the panel. The only way to avoid this behaviour is to switch to the running instance of GIMP and use the Open command.
I had installed UEC 10.04. It is a 2 server configuration with CC, CLC, SC and Walrus on one server and NC on another server. I could run instance of images, But when i try to ssh to the instance, it doesn't work.
It shows ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: No route to host. This to me seems there is a problem with my network connection. Pl find below the ifconfig output of the two servers:
