Ubuntu :: Noscripts Still Blocking But Uninstalled - Firefox
Jun 8, 2011
thought i'd try the firefox add on noscripts. didn't like it, uninstalled. now it is blocking things regardless and seemingly randomly. the forums for instance are a dog's breakfast.
why is this thing still ambling around like an aimless zombie? occasionally firefox just locks up and all i can do is shut it down. when i restart the machine or logout it makes no diff. the aimless noscripts zombie still lurks, playing havoc with my web experience.
any suggestions on how to completely kill this beast would be more than welcome. this machine runs smooth as and rock solid generally. the last thing i expected was some add-on bomb completely screwing things over. cheers.
edit: hmm, just had a thought. seems like java is not working so i look in add-ons and java add-ons seem to be uninstalled also. i'll have a tweak and get back ...
edit 2: when i go to videos, there are no thumbnails of the vids, just white squares and text, yet when i click a vid it plays without a problem. what the heck is happening? i don't believe that add-on could create so much havoc ... i didn't even make any changes to noscripts! installed it and visited about five websites then uninstalled.

Is there a way with the Firefox userContent.css to block social media widgets?I understand there is an Adblock Plus extension that can do that, but I don't use Adblock Plus.

For system calls, is blocking or non-blocking default in C? Simple question, just am not seeing the answer super quickly.

I have a device that is working on modbus protocol andI have written a small program(with block TCP read method ) to read its registers via modbus protocol.my program is working very well but except those times that I unplug the Ethernet cable or turning off the modbus gateway during programs work.at this time my program stops on recv system call (if it reach this system call exacly when I unplug Ethernet cable or turning off the modbus gateway during programs work).I changed my source to work in nonblock TCP method, at this time with the same situation my program does not stop/block on recv system call but after pluging back the Ethernet cable or resuming the connectivity situation back it reads data incorrectly .this is my code:Quote:
#define DEBUG
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <string.h>
[code]...

What programs can be safely removed to free up space? I'm working with a 4GB SSD (actually 3.3GB) and Ubuntu itselfs takes 2.2GB and after updating it I only have 500MB left. I want to remove everything that can be removed (things like games and such).

I installed Adobe Reader from the repository, but didn't like it (it takes way to long to load a page evince does instantly).I've removed it with the package manager, purged it with apt-get, completely removed it with synaptic, and set the right click to always use evince; the thing is still the preferred program and double-clicking on a pdf still tries to use Adobe and fails every time. This is really annoying in that Chrome tries to use Adobe to open pdf files too, so now I have to open my download folder, right-click, click "open with", and click "document viewer" (all for something that used to take one click!)

I needed to get rid of apache2 on my Ubuntu. apt-get remove apache2All looked successful but... ps aux... Oh look it's still running. No matter, I thought, maybe I'll just restart (restart on Linux!? I must be mad!) and it'll just disappear. Nope, it still starts up like it always has.I could of course just manually remove it.... but it feels so untidy.

I installed Fedora 15 alongside Ubuntu, only to discover that it doesn't play nice with Ubuntu and this means that even though I formatted the Fedora Partition and made it into a new one, (i needed around a 7gb space for video editing files etc, so it is optimised for this). Anyway, that's off topic. Even though all traces of Fedora are gone, everyone time I go to boot from the HardDrive, it goes into Fedora's starting screen (the blue one with the loading icon) and then says it failed and gives a little command line.

I have updated my Windows from Vista to 7. I knew that this would mess up my GRUB so that it wouldn't show on boot. However, it seems as if my GRUB has uninstalled.
I have tried to reinstall it with a Live CD but this didn't work. Maybe I was doing something wrong. I'm sorry if I'm asking a question that has already been posted but I could only find ways to make your GRUB reappear, not reinstall it.
I'm stuck with Windows 7 for a week or two now and I really want to get back to using Ubuntu!

I was trying to setup a static IP and the first stage was to uninstall Network Manager. Done. Great, now I have no internet to see what the next stage is.
For about 3 hours now I've been farting about trying to install Wicd without an internet connection but has proved fruitless.
Basically, how do I install Wicd without a connection? Or reinstall Network Manager?
I'm running 10.04.

I uninstalled Empathy in favour of Pidgin, but the Empathy entry still appears in my application menu, even though it leads nowhere and uses a question marked icon.

I had 10.04 installed using wubi. I used it only for pictures. I uninstalled that version and installed 11.04 as a true dual-boot. I forgot to back up some pictures on the 10.04. Is there a way to recover them?

Somehow I lost the clock in the panel; maybe I uninstalled some packages related to the clock.
Anyone know which package I should install?

My question is quite simple:What are type of applications where socket in blocking mode can be used ?
And where non-blocking mode to be used ??
TCP is blocking by default.

Originally I installed both GNOME and KDE. Later, grew tired of KDE and its applications making space on my menu, so I decided to uninstall it, using yum groupremove. I didn't notice that yum was also removing Network Manager and other programs needed by GNOME. Then, when I restarted the computer, it freezes before it could show the "user login". I'm able to access the Linux command line if I press F1 during loading, but I don't know what to do next! I tried to fix the GRUB configuration, but it didn't have any effect.

Every time I booted in 9.10, Python requested a password. I didn't plan to do any programming very soon (I'm new to Linux, although I know Unix) because I'm just learning the shell, etc, so I decided to uninstall Python through the Package Manager. I selected all of the installed Python modules and when I clicked "Apply" I was informed that there was one module (Python minimum something) that would seriously effect the whole system, so I unchecked that module and then ran the uninstall. When it completed, Firefox was gone, the two music players I had installed where gone, I couldn't log out and when I try to reboot I get a message "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" and I go through several other menus, but I still can't get the system to boot.I assume a reinstall is in order, but should I "clean up" any of the remaining Linux modules/partition? And what's the best way to do that?

Everytime I shut down my netbook the blue Kubuntu Screen comes instead of the Red Ubuntu Screen. I don't want the Blue Kubuntu Screen, I want the RED Ubuntu Screen. How do I do this? I tried installing KDE and KDE for netbooks, and KDE default settings (all from software center). What else do I need to do to get rid of this blue screen?

So I install a font, don't like it, then uninstall it. Simple enough, but when I say a font, I mean the 465 free true type fonts by Brian Kent. For some reason I thought it had said 45 and thought that font options would be nice. Of course, hardly any of the fonts were worth using, so I uninstalled them. Yet, their names still show up in the list of fonts in all programs that use a font list. There are 465 names that don't have a font associated with them, and it's driving me nuts.
Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit

I was removing the latest two kernels installed because of some issues with compiz and stuffs. And I accidentally removed the only kernel left too. Now, grub has only one entry for Windows. I used "yum remove kernel-.....". Now, I'm stuck, I don't want to re-install the system. It FC11 using LVM. Is there any way I can install re-install the kernel only. What I'm thinking of is copying the kernel image from a live fc11 or installing via rpm on maintenance mode if its possible.

I have an HP tx2500 tablet pc running 9.04, which I was trying to configure the tablet for using the .fdi method on this page. After I redid the .fdi file, I rebooted, and it gave me a flashing screen, similar to the one i got when I tried to install 9.10.
I tried going into recovery mode and using xfix: bad idea. Then, I tried installing envy and reinstalling the drivers from there. That failed as well.
So now, when I try to manually remove the ati packages,(from command line in recovery mode) it doesn't let me, because of some problem with "fglrx-kernel-source" I can't configure, remove, or purge.

I Installed wine and starcraft recently, which I have been able to run before but It didn't like my new computer. Whatever, Starcraft 2 comes out soon and I have played my fair share of broodwar, so i decided to uninstall it. I removedarcraft from wine and then wine itself, however my Gnome-Do still has the shortcut/iconor starcraft when I type it in. Im guessing i need to go into gconfig-editor to fix it, but Im not brave enough to venture in without any advice before hand.

I just (basically) completely uninstalled my OS by accident. In synaptic package manager I selected to completely remove volume control (which had been going haywire for god knows what reason) with intent to immediately reinstall. I didn't put 2 and 2 together when it said it'd remove all related files including the kernel... hal... restricted drivers... everything got uninstalled. Network manager crashed...
I decided to try my luck with restarting (what was left) of the system. Now I'm looking at a boot screen of:
loading grub...
error 15: file not found.
Did I have to just make a boot disc and reinstall the os? or can I just "put the pieces back together" as it were and reinstall with a 'sudo aptitude update' once I get network up again?

I was dual-booting XP and Ubuntu 10.10 for a while, but as I never used Ubuntu it was just taking up space, so I figured I'd get rid of it. I used a partitioning tool from inside XP to remove the Ubuntu partition, forgetting that I used GRUB2 every time I booted to select which OS to load. Now when I start my computer I get stuck at the "grub rescue>" screen.After searching for solutions to this problem all of them said to either use the Windows XP CD to fix the Master Boot Record or reinstall Ubuntu, but I dont have my XP CD and there isnt enough room on my hard drive anymore for a Ubuntu install. Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

So the other day my window list applet was somehow connected with a crash, and ubuntu asked me if I wanted to remove it. I accidentally clicked yes not realizing what it was, and now ubuntu does not list the windows open on a workspace at the bottom of the screen - terribly annoying! how to get this back? Poking through the software manager and synaptic and googling aren't helping.

Is there a way to find if a package is a dependency of some other package/s that you have installed it.
For instance, let's say there is a library called libkolabxml1
Now if I just install it and ask :-
Code: Select all$$ aptitude why libkolabxml1
Unable to find a reason to install libkolabxml1.
But I remember it being useful/needed somewhere.
