CLI web browser

So I've made the switch to Arch, and I'm completely fascinated by it... After 5 years of shifting distros trying to find something I was satisfied with, here I am... I love the fact that, as a beginner, I have to do a decent amount of work but can still get results... Fantastic build...
Now that I'm here, I'm trying to get a better feel of what I can get away with in the CLI... I've walked through the Beginner's Guide step-by-step, installing KDE and then removing it for KDEmod (I didn't notice much difference except download size?), etc. etc...
In the end, what I was hoping to do was to be able to run all my software via CLI and Ctrl-Alt-Fn to switch - but everything I try to start up spits out a weird error... For instance, every web browser has a different complaint:
Firefox = Error: no display configured (or something like that)
Konqueror = Cannot connect to X server (X is installed, I assume, since KDE works)
Opera = Cannot connect to X Server / Fatal error creating QT object
I'm not totally opposed to running KDE , I was just hoping to stay out of there whenever possible... Probably some nostalgia for DOS days, who knows...
If I do need a window manager of some sort, I'd be interested in knowing which one has the widest variety of options for appearance... They all seem so light compared to XP/Vista that I'll happily use any of them if it looks great...
Also, is there a wiki page for installing packages inside window managers? That is, I can run pacman and get whatever I want, but it always gets a generic icon in KDE - just seems like they aren't talking, and I need to step in...
Thanks in advance, glad to have finally found the right distro to pull me all the way over and off windows...

You could try to run Xfce without X being installed There are people out there saying, that this is possible. Me personally, I have no idea how to achieve this, but I think that would be kinda cool Although Openbox on DirectFB would be cooler, it's more configurable imho.
Seriously, install X, read the wiki, which tells you how to set it up (it's a little different than it used to be) and install something lightweight. My recommendations are LXDE and Xfce. In my opinion LXDE might not be pretty enough for you, because it uses Openbox as window manager, which for example doesn't have round corners. It's hard to say, you'll have to try it yourself.

Help with WAP 1142n not displaying web browser?

Hi all
Sorry I am new with the Cisco WAP.
I have my device configured, and it has an IP, subnet, etc.
I currently have it connected with serial port to my laptop and used PutTy to get into it, that's no problem.
However, despite it having an IP, I cannot use the web browser with it! This is driving me mad. I want to use the web browser and not the CLI for everything. Let me know if you need screenshots. Everything looks ok to me....it has a BVI1 IP as well as an Ethernet address.
thanks in advance!

You currently have configured...
no ip http server
ip http secure-server
Are you sure you are navigating to "https://" ?

How can I open multiple instances of the same folder and web browser in different desktops in Lion?

I've selected "none" for association but it doesn't work. In other words, I have a Dropbox folder on my desktop. I'd like to be able to open that same folder using the same shortcut on different Lion desktops. However, whenever I try to use the same shortcut on a different desktop, it switches to the one where it's already open. Same problem with web browsers; if I try to just click on a web browser to create a new window, it will take me back to the other desktop.
I didn't have this problem before I had to replace my hard drive and update everything again. I am aware of the "restart Finder" option as well as associating programs with individual desktops. All of the things in question are currently selected as "none."
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just set Safari's option to None. That is I right clicked on the dock, selected options, and chose none. Also, in Mission Control's tab of System Preferences I clicked Off When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for that application. That let me open a new Safari window no matter what desktop I was in. But I had to do both. Just setting the desktop option to none didn't seem to do it. Finder seems to work okay with just the none option set.

A way to have part of the screen presentation and part live web browser?

I'm trying to put together a presentation that involves demonstrating a
live web site.
Neither Keynote or Powerpoint will let me imbed live web pages into a presentation on a MAC. (ibrowser plug-in will do it for powerpoint PC but not MAC).
I'm wondering if there isn't some way to use two programs to accomplish my goal, which is to have notes about the live web page on screen (sort of prompting and reminding me of what to show next on the web site), while showing the web site and working with it on another portion of the screen.
I come close by creating a powerpoint presentation creating my "prompting notes"
on only the far left side of the powerpoint pages, then turning it into a PDF, then opening the PDF but pushing the window all the way to the right side of the computer screen so on the right I see my "notes" and on the left to center of the computer screen I have the live SAFARI web browswer. I can move from page to page on my slides by hitting the "next" page button on the pdf PREVIEW window.
It kinda works, but isn't anywhere near as slick or clean as I'd like.
Can anyone think of a cleaner way to do this with any combo of MAC applications?
Thanks for any input.

I figured it out myself! I'm making a quicktime movie out of the presentation,
scale the quicktime window to a corner of the screen, and then have the web
browser on the rest of the screen.
Just thought I'd post in case anyone else had this problem and was looking for
an solution!

Photo Gallery not showing photos in computer Web browser

None of my photo gallery photos are showing up in a computer's Web browser? They show up fine when you click "View Web Journal in Safari" on an iPad 2, but when I publish them to iCloud and Share the Web Journal Link, the photos don't show up?? It's happening with all of my Journals. It doesn't work on a Mac or Windows? What gives??
You try it:https://www.icloud.com/iphoto/projects/#1;CAEQARoQdoVWsxptdYjcSQD-Rg1QVg;B692688 8-A220-4FF7-848F-6383BB15A5DB

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, matey. They all show for me in Safari but require several page refreshes to get them all to display. Those that don't display will if I click on it and then go back to the page. However, when retuning to the first page will put be back at square one and require multiple refreshes to get them to display, but not always.
Also, the page links are all messed up. Clicking on them just returns me to the first page. If I Option click on a page link from Page 1 I will get to the right page.
I am unable to get Firefox or Chrome to work at all on your gallery.

Can I view documents in a web browser?

I was under the assumption I would be able to send my documents to iCloud and then edit them within a web browser. Is this not the case?
When I go to iCloud.com all I see is an option to install iWork on IOS devices.

Your assumption was wrong. You can not edit them online.

AdobeAcrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF Files in Web Browser...what do I need to do to fix this..

I just got Windows 7 and have been having problems since loading it. Most of my drivers only go to Vista and don't recognize 7.
I have trying to download some manuals from their website
and keep getting this message; Adobe Acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser.

Could I suggest a workaround for PDFs until a solution is posted? Open them directly in the Adobe application rather than in a browser tab.
In your Adobe application(s), go to:
Edit > Preferences > Internet
Then uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
(There are very few sites where having PDF integrated is really beneficial.)

Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome) - the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
"Acrobat plug-in
The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
Configure Acrobat as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat installation
None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
(Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

Reader 9.2 - "can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser"

Hello,
I recently deployed Adobe 9.2 within our organization. I used the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 to transform the install set, and selected the "Display PDF in Browser" option as default.
When opening a PDF linked from a web URL, we get the message: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again." This occurs under IE8 and IE6, in both Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7.
If I launch Adobe Reader and unselect "Display PDF in Browser" in preferences, PDFs open normally.

I'm having a similar issue.
Did a fresh install of 11.2.0.1.0 under Windows 2003 - latest updates - IE 8.
I can access Enterprise Manager from other computers - but not from the local server.
I've tried both: https://oracle.xxxx.xxx:1158/em and https://localhost:1158/em
Both give me the generic "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" - but if I access from another computer it comes up - so I know everything is working...

Requires a microsoft sharepoint foundation-compatible application and web browser

SharePoint 2010 version 14.0.7102.5000.
Clients are Windows 7 SP1, Browser is IE 10.0.9200.17296
Problem is the well known famous message 'requires a microsoft sharepoint foundation-compatible application and web browser' when the user chooses the button New Document.
Why this behaviour for this user is different then all the threads and blogs I read about this message is because of the following: I am logged on using my Windows account on my computer (VDI so I have the same computer as the user experiencing the
message) and don't have this problem. When the concerning user uses my logged on computer under my account and only logs in with his credentials within SharePoint (sign in as Different User) then the problem occures. I performed the same actions on the same
library as the concerning user.
So ruled out are:
- Browser version
- Office version
- windows User Profile
- x86 vs x64
- MS Foundation Support installation
- add on SharePoint OpenDocuments Class
Please help me out.

Do you have different versions of Office or SharePoint Designer or any Office product installed?
You can try repairing office installation in that particular user machine and see what happens.
Thanks.
Sorry to say but software versions can be ruled out as I mentioned the user have the same problem when using
my logged on account in Windows on my computer. Only in the browser the user is logging in with his credentials. I don't have this problem when using this Document Library.

Closing an application and web browser at same time at runtime

Does anyone have any ideas of code that addresses that problem of closes the web browser at runtime when the application closes?
I've been converted about 140+ forms and 300+ reports to 10g from 6i client/server and I've got all the forms converted but now that I've got it up on a website at runtime, I'm documenting all these application issues that I just haven't had time to research.
It sounded like I do write some Java Beans, based on some threads I've read. But I didn't fully understand.
Any help is appreciated.

Ok, I was able to do it when I hard-coded to the http://servername:port in the web.show_document. My question is: I have a windows and Linux (Development and Test server). All 3 are different servers. How can I make it to where I don't have to hard-code the server name. I've put the html page in the ORACLE_HOME/forms/java folder. The application and web browser closes just fine when I hard-code the server name in the web.show_document command. Is there a way I can get around this where I don't have to hard-code the name, but still access it from the same path on all 3 servers?
