I installed NoScript and Allowed some pages. I clicked RESET and then uninstalled NoScript via the Firefox AdOns window. But when I "reinstall" it it still has sites from my previous browsing Allowed plus settings from my old install. How do I completely erase all its settings so that when I reinstall it it is like it is a fresh/brand new install? I used to be able to do this with CCleaner for Windows.
View 1 RepliesI'm a recent migrant to Ubuntu from windows xp, and I definitely love linux. but, after years of windoze, I'm left with a few questions. today I tried installed kde, but it didn't work on my hardware, so I uninstalled it. i also tried to put google earth on my system, but it kept crashing so I removed it. after removing kde I had to reinstall a couple programs. all said, after doing all that, do I need to scan my system to remove trash files, or is that not a problem in linux?I'm also having some problems finding software after I've installed it in synaptic. when the package shows to be installed, I can't find any way to launch it through the menus. I don't have that problem if I use the ubuntu software center.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI uninstalled Google Earth and the "grey" icon remains no matter what I do. Also I had wine to run an MS application I uninstalled wine, before uninstalling the application. The icons remain, do I need to re-install wine again, uninstall the application then uninstall wine? The file that held the application I deleted, first because I had a brain fade.

Description of Problem:There is another thread that discussed this same problem that I'm having: However that thread is so old that the suggestions in it no longer work in Ubuntu 10.04 and for whatever reason I can not make a reply to that thread.As in the above thread, I've tried other input devices and rebooting the computer and using other USB ports, and my mouse still intermittently double left clicks randomly at times when I've only clicked the left mouse button once and at times and places when it should only produce a single click such as when selecting a drop down menu.
Has any one else had this problem, and does any one have any idea how to fix it or to trouble shoot this a bit more? Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to further clarify or troubleshoot this issue.
I would like to use two monitors with my desktop, so connected them the other day and it worked straight away, which is good but... The monitor configuration app always want the primary monitor to be on the left hand side, thus it always extend my desktop right. Can I do anything to extend my desktop to the left instead of to the right so I can have background application on the screen to the left?
View 8 Replies View RelatedThe first is about implementing function calls. The way I currently have it is that functions are called with a C++ std::vector of nodes as the parameters. How would I turn a comma-seperated list of expressions into a C++ vector in the grammar?Second, how do you implement left-associative operators in a parser that does not allow left recursion?
And third, what would be the best internal representation of integers? A C++ int seems simplest, but limited. Using GMP seems more versatile, but I'm afraid it might seriously slow down the interpreter compared to C++ ints.
I cannot uninstall Firefox, nor can I uninstall Chromium; one always stays if the other is uninstalled. For example, if I remove Firefox, Chromium will appear in its place and vice versa. This has got to be one of the weirdest bugs I've ever seen on Ubuntu! So, how can I uninstall both web browsers?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just did a fresh install of Kubuntu 9.10. The GUI regularly locks up. I can SSH to it from another machine everytime it locks up. Top shows Xorg consuming 99% cpu. I think downgrading the nvidia driver to 173 from 185 helped reduce the lockups. Before they seemed very random and very often. Now it seems to happen when copying a large amount of files over the network but I'm not entirely sure. It ran the electricsheep screensaver all day today with no problems and the RSS euphoria GL screensaver all day yesterday. If I copy 2GB of files from one local directory to another no problem, if I do it through cifs mounted samba shares it will lock up for sure. Small amounts seem ok. Apt-get install has had some lock ups too.
I don't really know how to trace what's going on beyond installing ssh and finding out that it's totally alive inside. I don't know what to look for in log files nor which ones to look at. I didn't recognize anything wrong in Xorg log. In the system log I look for the time gap between when it locked up and I shut down and when I rebooted but I didn't notice anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Firefox on 10.10. I haven't installed crazy stuff on my machine as far i can recall (i used the repositories, except for gtk+3) and i didn't go to any weird website either, same traffic as usual. The only weird thing was that my internet connection was abnormally slow this morning.

Can anyone help me trace this?
I manage a dedicated webserver running OpenSuse 11 which is currently hosting about 30 sites. I have never had any big problems until these last 2-3 months. One site after the other was being hacked and the unwanted visitor installed all kind of php shell scripts followed by torrent servers, ... etc. All hacked sites were sites using Joomla, so what I did was to close down those sites one by one. Well, I guess we all know Joomla is not a great solution if you just install it out of the box like those users were doing.
When trying to trace the intruder only some african junk IPs and IPs from a company selling VPN connections thru paypal show up (yeah great, love those guys ... do they really think that serious VPN users will pay with paypal) I checked all apache and FTP logs (yes, he even managed to get some FTP login) but only those damn 'proxy' IPs come up. The weird thing is that the guy seems to know how the server was 'build' since he manages to copy stuff from one site to the other. That is why I am suspecting someone who worked for a clients company, but I need proof. One way would be to let him hack a site and try to feed him something that would make him traceable, but what?

I am trying to turn Trace off on Apache/2.0.52. From one of the previous postings on this site it was stated that TraceEnable should be used for newer version of Apache (1.3.34+ or 2.0.22+). However, when I tried to use the man pages to get some information on how to use the command I got "No manual entry for TraceEnable". Can you tell me what version(s) of Apache supports this command?

For each write, I would like to know the time, date, process id, user, file position, byte count, and the data written.
I could use this with a script to replay the writes to a backup of the original file, and reproduce the file contents as they were at a point in time.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a mysql server which "goes down" every day at 9, because the debian-sys-maint user needs to run a table check, for no particular reason.
I assume it's a cron-job, but I can't find anything related to this. There's the mysqlautobackup script, but that runs at 4 in the morning, which is expected and perfectly acceptable.
The usual answer is debian's ldd(1) and I found broken things due to past lib abuses I previously hadn't understood I'd did - or rather hadn't realized because by looking it "looked ok and worked" - but i had problems. many i fixed.
After I ran a new script: it showed some i'd STILL missed after carefully re-doing /lib by hand (and using /var/lib/dpkg/info/libs.list)
I just made something that might be nice. seems to be the only thing that does it. but its' small and quick and has (tty/stdout) output still.
the had part isn't finding info, objdump(1) does that wonderfully : it's using it..
I'm trying to install Fedora as part of a tri-boot system on my desktop machine. This machine has been running Windows 7 since launch and now I've decided to free up some space on my primary HDD to test out both Gnome 3 (I've used Gnome 2.32 and earlier before and it wasn't for me) and KDE to see which of these desktops suit me better and whether they can effectively replace my Windows install. With Ubuntu going the way of Unity, I decided that Fedora was the choice for me.I proceeded to setup a Fedora live USB using UNetBootin and booted it up, and followed the install instructions, ensuring to set Windows as the default boot option as it is to remain my primary install. I set up my primary Fedora partition with 100000MB, my swap partition with 2410MB and a 1GB boot partition (leaving me with around another 100GB of unpartitioned space for a future KDE install). This, I hoped, would allow me to see the lovely GRUB splashscreen defaulted to Windows, and if I wanted to try out Fedora I could simply change the option by scrolling down, similar (but reversed) from my dual boot debian/vista laptop.
However, upon booting up the system I was greeted with only the standard boot I had previously had before the Fedora install, with no hint that any change had occurred. I have confirmed that the Fedora install does exist however via the Disk Management tool on Windows. Can someone please help me in getting a GRUB boot/splash screen so that I can boot the Linux partition if I want?
In a kde terminal, apt-get was installing gem when it asked me to restart the kmn daemon (i'm not sure about the "kmn"...) and i hit "yes" when the gui dissapeared and fell back to tty1. I waited a while and then restarted the system but kde didn't start automatically (it used to be so). I tried "startx" and "startkde" but they are unknown.
I don't know linux this deep so i don't know what to check or how to trace down this problem.
i have a usb pen (kingstone 8 gb) the sistem does not recognize it, maybe due to the fact i have not safely removed it the last time. i do fdisk -l but it does not appear in the list in /dev no trace of it.
