Firefox Gnome Integration and Mimetypes

Hey there archers!
The other day I was messing around with libgnome and eliminated the gnome-vfs dependency so I could remove hal. Changed the PKGBUILD, compiled and installed over the official one.
However, upon starting firefox, I noticed popups no longer used notification-daemon and, after trying to open a download from within firefox, I noticed that firefox seems to treat all file types as a general "file link" type. If I choose to open a tar with file-roller if tries to open every other file with file-roller.
I investigated a bit and found that libgnome was responsible for the firefox integration with gnome so I reverted to the one provided by arch. However, the problem persists. Tried using a fresh firefox profile and no change which leads me to thinking that something other than firefox is responsible.
Now I can't say for sure if it was my fault or not because around the same time I updated a bunch of other packages. My searches led me to find people having problems with the latest xulrunner and fonts. Tried reverting that but got the same result.
Since I ran out of quick fixes and don't have time for major regressions I'm resorting to you guys and asking if anyone is experiencing a similar problem or if you know the solution to it.
Thanks in advance!

What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce?

What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce? Today I heard someone said gnome and kde have more software than xfce. Is that real?
Thank you.

Its really a matter of taste, really. KDE is know to be configurable like hell, GNOME very easy to use, and XFCE lightweitgh.
Keep in mind that whatever desktop environment (DE) you choose, you can use any application in any DE. For example, firefox, a "GTK" application, works without problem under KDE. Or Kile, a latex front-end for KDE, works perfect under Gnome.
Personnally I prefer KDE. But I mostly prefer KDE applications like the editors (Kate/Kwrite) and file manager (dolphin).
KDE is slower to start on my EeePC (really small machine) but because it is full featured, I can cut on number of packages installed, so in the end, with the same functionality, I have more room on my disk then using XFCE!
Just try them, and choose the one you like

[Solved] Gnome Integration Missing In Chromium 35

Hello all,
With the newly released Chromium 35, it seems that Gnome integration is missing.
Specifically, it does not recognize gnome in the Gnome extensions site via the plugin that was available in version 34.
Anything can be done about it?
Thanks, Adam.

I use the hangouts extension (a lot!) and google-chrome beta which is currently on version 36+ but have no crashes. Nor did I have any crashes for the months when google-chrome beta was on any of the many 35 versions. [Actually, I had a few gnome-shell crashes over a few days when gnome-shell first moved to version 3.12+ but discovered it due to the skype extension which I removed and have not see one since].

Office Integration and non-MS browsers

I have an 'issue' with Office Integration and non-MS browsers with our SharePoint 2013 on-prem enviroment (using SSO via ADFS).
Background: our internal client wants to move to SharePoint sites for collaboration with external partners. One of the selling points they're wanting to make to justify the move from their current
external collaboration site is Office integration - specifically the ability to open/edit/save documents by clicking on the document in SharePoint, having it open in Office (PC/client) for editing. Note they are wanting full integration with the client
version of Office - not OWA. The other requirement is that this work with both Firefox and Chrome.
Issue: Office integration works fine using Internet Explorer. When a user click on a document the document opens in Office and can be edited directly in the browser without any additional prompts.
But when clicking on a document via Firefox or Chrome the SSO login form pops-up when Office starts. Once the user enters their credentials they can work with the documents as desired. But our client does not want this second prompt.
Question:
Is there a way to configure SharePoint so that Firefox or Chrome open up documents for editing without a second logon prompt? I'm assuming not based on my research on how these browsers handle
cookies differently than IE. Can someone confirm?
Is there a dev solution to this? Note that because the users will be partners (non-employees) we are trying to avoid using a solution that would involve installing custom software on their pc's
(such as browser extensions).

Unfortunately you are looking at a plugin or having the users modify their browsers:

Can not key in gnome-terminal and evolution

i have strange problem, after a fully upgrade. i can not key in anything in the gnome-terminal and evolution. however, i can key in firefox, can press ALT F1 and go into console. key anything in the console. and when i was blocked by the screen saver, i can not key in the password. no idea what happen. i am connecting the internet by using a live cd now.

Thanks guys, I'll try your suggestions after work. I'm hoping I can scroll back through the buffer without using the tmux control key (ala vanilla terminal style).

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to 10.0.2 and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version and once again nothing.

I am on windows 7 and I upgraded to the newest verison of firefox and now it will not open. I have removed firefox completely and uploaded it again and that did not work. I then made sure it could get through my firewall and that did not work. So my latest attempt I removed firefox 10 again and uploaded the beta version hoping that would do it and once again nothing. It will not open at all. Please help - is there a live chat or a number to talk to someone at Firefox?

I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

Please note that using system restore would usually damage the Firefox installation.

Why doesn't firefox close out when I'm done with it and close it; when next I try to open firefox again I get a dialog box telling me firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer? I'm tired of doing that one of more times a day.

1. This happens at least once a day, and sometimes multiple times. Today it's happened twice, thus far. My home page is FoxNews.com and if I leave it up overnight or for longer periods during the day firefox doesn't allow the refresh of the home page it just goes to yahoo 404--error can't find the webpage. Then when I enter FoxNews.com it adds a /error to the url and doesn't allow me to go to MY homepage. So I close firefox and then if I try to reopen it and then I get the dialog box saying firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer. Very aggravating. 2. Also the Adobe flash drive update always fails. 3. Webpages get in loops and fail to load to the point I have to stop and refresh or close out and reopen.

One situation in which Command+w or Ctrl+w might not work is if the "focus" is in a plugin such as the Flash player used on Youtube after you interact with the player controls. Firefox will continue to send the keyboard input to the plugin until you move the focus back to the page. Does that account for any of the problem?

TWO CRITICAL BUGS: 1) File, "Save Page As" and 2) right-click the picture and select "Save Image As", both do not work at all in Firefox 27, 28, and 29!

Note: capitals are used only to highlight important words.
PLEASE, TAKE THESE COMMENTS ON TWO CRITICAL BUGS VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THE BUGS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE SO CRITICAL THAT I CANNOT USE THE LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX UNLESS THEY DO NOT APPEAR IN THE LATEST VERSION AND THEREFORE I AM FORCED TO REVERT BACK TO FIREFOX 26.
I have Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 26. I could not install Firefox 27, 28, and 29 due to the persistent presence of the two critical bugs described below. I have 8 GB of RAM and an Intel quad-core processor and a lot of hard disk space available.
I installed Firefox 27 and then Firefox 28 a while back and these two bugs described below were still present and now I have just checked again with Firefox 29 by installing it and yet again, these two bugs described below are present!! UNBELIEVABLE THAT THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS ARE STILL PRESENT IN FIREFOX 29 WHEN I CLEARLY INFORMED YOU ABOUT THEM IN THE HELP, SUBMIT LINK OF FIREFOX!!
I am forced to revert to Firefox 26!
First, I use Windows 7 64-bit and I always use Firefox with at least 120 tabs opened. BUT I have 8 GB of RAM, an Intel core i7 quad-core processor and more than 1 TB of hard disk space. Consequently, I do not understand why I would have these two critical bugs.
With Firefox 26, I also have at least 120 tabs opened when I start Firefox and I do not have the two critical bugs described below, therefore I do not believe that the number of tabs is the reason of the two critical bugs that are present in Firefox 27, 28, and 29.
---FIRST CRITICAL BUG:
When I open ANY web page and do File, "Save Page As", the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this web page does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---SECOND CRITICAL BUG:
When I use Google Images, for instance entering model in the search field of Google Images and then pressing enter.
Then I select any picture, open to a new tab this selected picture, then open a new tab by selecting the option View for this picture. Then right-click the picture and select "Save Image As".
Again, the window that is supposed to open to locate the folder where I want to save this picture does NOT open at all, even if I wait a long time to see if it opens.
Same problem happened with Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!! When I reverted back to Firefox 26, this problem did NOT happen anymore!
---THESE TWO CRITICAL BUGS DO NOT APPEAR WHEN I USE INTERNET EXPLORER 11.
I have no idea if you will be able to reproduce these two critical BUGS but I can assure you that they are not present when I use Firefox 26 and they are present when I use Firefox 27, 28, and 29. More, be aware that I have at least 100 tabs opened but I also have this same number of tabs opened in Firefox 26 and yet I do not experience these two critical bugs when I have Firefox 26!
Once again, these two bugs touch at two vital, critical very basic functions of Firefox and therefore I will NOT be able to use any version above 26 if these two bugs are still present, as they are present in Firefox 27, 28, and now 29!!!
Please, make it a priority to solve these two critical bugs. Thanks.
I did read a post related to the same issues “Firefox stops responding when trying to "save page" or "save image" | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support” at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/991630?esab=a&as=aaq
I am still reading it again to try to figure out exactly what the person did to make his problems be solved, as the post is not clear at all on what solved the problems!
In any case, all the suggestions proposed in this post do not work and I surely cannot do a system restore when it is obvious that the two bugs do not appear in Internet Explorer.

First, I sent an email to the author of PhotoME to inform him of the serious issues his addon caused with Firefox latest versions.
Now, for those of you who do not have the PhotoME addon and yet experience the same problem that I had and that I described above, I suggest the following strategy.
As PhotoME did cause these problems with Firefox latest versions, I am pretty covinved other addons probably might cause these problems too. Therefore, adopt the following method.
Test one addon at a time to see if this particular addon is behind your Firefox issues like the ones I had.
So, disable one addon only at a time. Then close your Firefox and restart it from scratch and see if you still have your Firefox problems. You must restart the Firefox browser from scratch. If you still have these Firefox problems, re-enable the disabled addon, restart your Firefox (again!) and repeat the same method for every single addon that you have.
Try to be selective by choosing first addons that are more likely to cause your Firefox problems such as not very well-known or not very popular addons (like it was the case for the PhotoME addon).
If this method works or if it does not work, report it on this web page so that others can be helped with your comments.
I hope this method will help you because I was really upset that I had these Firefox problems and I first thought it was the fault of Firefox, only to discover later that this PhotoME addon was the culprit and had caused me such upset.

Application Integrator and SSO by SAPLOGONTICKET

After the docs (e.g. "How to Use the Application Integrator") and blobs mainly focus on user mapping, I wonder how to configure SAPLOGONTICKET in com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Generic efficiently.
Does combining "URL template" and "URL template fraction for SSO" give a chance for sending a Login Ticket to another server (distinct domain)? Or is the "authentication" part in "URL template" useless for Login Tickets (as stated in <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=21141">Thread 21141</a>)?
Thanks
Gerhard

Hi Gerhard,
If your system is set to log on with SAP logon tickets for authentication, you can specify an authentication template in parameter SSO2Template, e.g. MYSAPSSO2=<Request.SSO2Ticket>. That's all it takes on portal side to configure the SAP Logon Ticket when using application integrator. .
If you want to use SAP Logon Ticket for multiple domains (portal server and backend server are in different domains) you have to take special care. Have a look into the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/a0/88a340fa432b54e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">SAP Library</a> to find out how to configure logon tickets for multiple domains.
Hope I could help!
Best regards,
Martin

Unit testing, integration and functional testing

Hello all,
I would like to know the difference between Unit testing, integration and functional testing. And also what are the testing tools that are more commonly used?
Thanks,
Maxx

Hi,
    Unit testing :
                A complete cycle of each module will be tested
                ie for PP Right from requirements to planned orders /production orders
                confirmation .
    Integration testing:
                Here cross module testing will be carried out.
                 ie PP and MM integration
                    After confirming production order a GR is made /billing is carried out
                    and delivered.
      Functional testing:
                This testing is carried out to see whether the system can with stand l the loads during processing by users.
                Stress test and volume test.

I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox - it is giving no response.

I restarted my Firefox this morning and it automatically updated to version 9.0.1. Since that update, I am unable to open Firefox. When I try to open it (and this is on a Mac), it does not respond and freezes with a white screen, the tab says "connecting...," and there are no bookmarks or anything showing on the browser. It does not respond at all - I cannot even click into the navigation to change any of the preferences. Please, someone help! Not having Firefox is killing me!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Then Click File->Print to PDF,
The pdf file created and open the file, you will find all text are gone.
This add-on works fine in Firefox 3.5 and 3.6.
is it a bug of firefox 4.01?

Hi,
If it was installed as a Firefox extension you can try to '''Remove''' it in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Extensions'''.

On the other hand, if it was installed as a Windows application or Internet Explorer application, you may have to uninstall it via the Windows OS Control Panel, or via the browsers concerned. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/ Windows support] would be helpful.
