I tried evince, okular and foxit reader for linux and wasn't able to change background and foreground colours with them. I'm able to do this with foxit reader for windows, so unless I find something that runs natively on ubuntu, I'll try running it under wine.
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for alternative to Adobe Acrobat Reader, a slim free PDF Reader with browser plugin, for example for Iceweasel.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have openSUSE 11.2, 64 bits. I use Evince from the very beginning. Since a few weeks, when I want to open a .pdf file, Acrobat Reader appears and reads my file. It seems to have become the default reader now. However, I never wanted to change from Evince :this simple program is well enough for me. I tried various ways, but I can't define Evince as my default .pdf reader. How can I make Evince to become my default reader again please ?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to set up my laptop to allow connections to certain users with passwords from anywhere over the internet via SSH but I'm unsure about how I would go about doing this. I only thought it would be the case of setting up the open-ssh server on the laptop then, using my external IP and PuTTY on another PC outside of the network, connect to the external IP through port 22 so I tried this and wait 3 or 4 minutes or so and it says the connection times out.
I have also configured my router to use port forwarding but this doesn't seem to help much either and I have LAMP setup to allow connections to external IP : 80. The only thing I am able to do is access the laptop through the local network by using its internal IP's like 127.198.0.1:22 or something. I was wondering if anybody knows if and could tell me how I would do this as I really want to be able to access my home computer/laptop from my work sometimes, especially if I have work at home which is not with me at work or something.
I know this is possible but I'm quite new to this type of thing and don't know what is going wrong. Have I missed something or do I need to change any .conf files or anything?

2. If you have previously reconfigured the firewall on your PC, make sure the firewall allows incoming connections on port 22 from anywhere, and on port 5900 from localhost (also known as 127.0.0.1)
3. If your PC is behind a home router, or any other device that uses NAT, configure your router to send connection attempts on port 22 (but not port 5900) to your PC
So my questions are:
1. I installed a fresh version of Ubuntu 11.4, should I be concerned about step 2? If so, how can I allow incoming connections on port 22 from anywhere, and on port 5900 from localhost?
2. Regarding step 3, I'm using NETGEAR model DGN1000 router. Is that something that I should do from the router's setting page or it's some commands that I should pass through SSH?

I have proftpd setup on my Aspire Revo (which I'm using as an HTPC) so that I can download files to my mac when I feel like watching in bed or whatever. I recently purchased a 1TB WD Elements to store my media. I have proftpd setup so that I can access every file on the computer. However, when I try to gain access to the Elements HD, I get an FTP error from Cyberduck that says:
/media/Elements: no such file or directory
Note that I have not formatted the drive or anything - just set it up straight out of the box. My media is loaded on to it, and XBMC reads the files fine. Is there a way I can enable the hard drive (or the OS) to share these files over FTP, or is this not possible?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running karmic on a laptop. I recently changed iptables to drop all new incoming packets (not the related or established ones) on all ports. I was not running a proxy, so this worked fine. More recently I got v 3.0.13 of privoxy with apt-get and looked through the config file. I changed the default port in the privoxy config to 8080 and kept the ip at 127.0.0.1. Then I changed the Firefox settings to use a HTTP proxy at 127.0.0.1 with port 8080. when I try to run privoxy with the command: privoxy /etc/privoxy/config , the terminal outputs no errors. Then when I try to access a webpage through firefox the page will not load, but firefox doesn't display any reason for it. I don't really even know if privoxy is running because when I check the logfile (after having uncommented the logfile line in the privoxy config file) it is blank. I don't know much about networking, but I was wondering if someone could tell me why this is happening? Well that was a bit dumb of me. I just had to allow new packages in from localhost.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a small application controlling spotify, running under wine, that I can run from my desktop computer and use via SSH on my mobile phone, and so far I've been quite successful. At least until just recently, when I tried to use the read command to read a single key-press on my phone, and use that input instead of having to type the number for item in the menu I've created. I tried to simply use the read command to silently listen to one key-press and output it to the variable opt. To do this I tried:
read -s -n1 opt
When I ran this in a shell-script this I got:
read: 1: Illegal option -s
Seeing this, I tried to remove the -s operator, which left me with:
read: 1: Illegal option -n
I decided to remove all operators and echo the variable opt, leaving me with:
read opt
echo "$opt"
Which worked as expected. It echoed the key that I had pressed. I moved over to my terminal window and tried the read command from there, and it did exactly what it should. It silently recorded one key-press to the variable opt.
why isn't read working with operators in shell scripts?
Do any programs need to be installed that aren't included in the default install of Linux Mint in order for it to allow VNC connections?

Here's what I want to do: install ubuntu on a laptop and then create a normal user so that the user could install the normal upgrades without using the root account (or getting root privileges via sudo).
I know that this can be done by adding the user to the admin group, but this has (at least) two bad side effects:
1. The user can use sudo to gain root access. (And then do everything: install or remove programs...)
2. The update-manager doesn't seem to appear in the panel. (In stead it opens in the background.)
I could easily make a script that downloads and installs the upgrades automaticly, but I'd like to give the user a chance to choose when to do all this. So that it's not done for example when the user is using slow mobile connection.
i've got a few questions about iptables. i know how to set up ip tables to only allow from an ip address or a subnetting ip addresses. question is how do i allow from 2 different networks? would i need to create 2 lines of entry in iptables to the same port? e: allow 10.168.1.1 and 196.168.1.1 on port 22 is there a way to put all that in 1 line or would i need to create to rules for the port? i know i can use the ssh allow or deny but i'd like to stop access even before it gets to the ssh. stop it at the source kinda thing.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using the Java Service Wrapper to create a service in Linux. This Java Application has no main GUI, but if certain error message occur then it displays a warning box allowing the user to know. If I log into root and install the application everything works fine. But, if I log into a none root user graphically and then do a su - to get to root the service will not start. This is the command I'm using inside the service (/etc/init.d/rc.d/backup) to start the application

I have Fedora 10 set up as a server. Occasionally it will stop allowing connections, such as ssh, http, and samba. This continues until someone hits a key on the keyboard, and then it seems to come back to life and accept connections. At this point, the date and time will be wrong. Judging from monit messages that inform me when it stops allowing connections, I think the time freezes at whatever time it is when it stops allowing said connections.
Power Management has it set for the computer to never turn off. Sleep mode is also disabled in the BIOS.
I thought it was possibly the CMOS battery, but that has been replaced and the issue persists.
Someone previously thought it might have been Network Manager, but that is disabled due to issues it has with a static IP.
