Firefox with gnome-vfs

I have seen very recently that Debian propose a package to allow the use of the gnome-vfs system with firefox, so that you can use URL like smb:// or sftp:// in firefox. Is there a way to do the same thing in Arch? Some years ago I was a konqueror user. I abandoned KDE, but this is the feature which I miss the most...

xulrunner would need to be recompiled with gnomevfs enabled. atm it's disabled.

  • [SOLVED] Build Firefox without gnome dependencies?

    Hi!
    I've been trying for a while now to get rid of gnome and everything "gnomish", but firefox (and every other browser I tried but kazehakage) seems to be very attached to some libraries. I tried to build quite a few variants I found on aur, but they either try to pull gconf, libgnomesomething etc. or fail to build on Arch 64 (like firefox-pgo which btw. makes me think, that XULrunner is actually what's relying on gnome-libraries).
    Did anyone get that done?

    That's strange... so why does it install a lot of gnome stuff when building it with makepkg? I think it even calls gconf, as I found the annoying folders & subfolders belonging to it in my home Directory once again...

  • Firefox 3 - Gnome Shortcut opens home directory?

    Interesting change, and I don't know whether it's a bug, config option, or difference in the new firefox that gnome doesn't know about...but when I use my keyboard shortcut to open "Minefield," (I have it set as CTRL+ALT+F) it will open but will not display my homepage.  Instead, it displays my home folder.
    Anyone else seeing this?  What's the fix?

    I, too, experienced this problem after upgrading to Firefox 3. If I remember correctly, I also encountered the issue at some point with Firefox 2 on Ubuntu (before my switch to Arch). In both cases, I fixed the problem by changing my preferred web browser (as you described, except without deleting the ~/.mozilla directory).
    On my system, at least, it seems that running firefox will execute /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox:
    $ which firefox
    /usr/bin/firefox
    $ ls -l /usr/bin/firefox
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2008-06-21 19:02 /usr/bin/firefox -> /usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox
    I'm not quite sure why this occurs. I suppose that the two methods of execution interpret the "%s" differently for some reason. Perhaps there's something odd about executing a symlink (in this case, causing Firefox to behave properly) or -- alternatively -- a problem with explicitly executing something in /usr/lib? (The latter doesn't seem like it would be correct, but this situation brings it to mind.) It could simply be the case that the interpretation of "%s" depends on the directory in which the executed firefox resides....
    EDIT: It seems that someone else has had issues starting Firefox 3; however, they seem to have had an almost opposite problem....

  • Why is fam required by gnome-vfs if gamin is recommended in the wiki?

    I just noticed in the Wiki that it encouraged FAM to be replaced by Gamin, which I have done. If this is encouraged in the wiki, why aren't the GNOME packages built with Gamin in place as a dependancy? Could it be due to GNOME officially requiring FAM?
    Just curious is all

    in this period gnome doesn't require gamin/fam anymore. but gnome-vfs is a deprecated lib which required it.
    pacman is installing fam because is detecting dependencies alphabetically and therefor is choosing fam over gamin

  • On openbox what happens if i install gnome-vfs ???

    i have an openbox system
    with thunar and without nautilus or gnome apps ....
    so, what happens if i install gnome-vfs ??? there will be any software problems such as conflicts
    OR
    how i can stop this service ???
    thanks to all

    It will destroy your system. You can't believe how Gnome and Openbox hate each other's guts!
    Seriously... Did you try it with pacman? If there are conflicts, pacman should detect them. And pacman, upon inquiring it about gnome-vfs, should tell you exactly what it will pull in.

  • [SOLVED] abiword wants non-dependency gnome-vfs

    I just ran $ pacman -Qdt, which brought up gnome-vfs, so I deleted it. Now if I try to run abiword, I get
    abiword: error while loading shared libraries: libgnomevfs-2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I have paid attention to notices in updates, and found nothing for abiword. I did "pacman -Rns abiword abiword-plugins" and deleted .abisuite from home before reinstalling. No luck.
    I suspect there's an (Arch) way to go without gnome-vfs, a bulky little thing, with its dependencies more than 2ce the size of abiword and its. Otherwise it would be a dependancy of abiword, right? Here's hoping.
    Cheers

    Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer.  There's nothing separate to download or install.
    Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
    For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    yeah you can, but not as a solution to gnome related problem in arch. cause this doesn't resolve anything.
    2>You don't have to, garnome2.14.2.1(481kb) download the patches and patch it automatically, just change install dir to /usr
    (ONLY if you are using console-linux who want gnome a try). of course there is need small arch related patch.(in my experience 0)
    eh, i haven't got a clue what this means, putting patches upstream means they will get include in gargnome and upstream releases. i only tried to say we put a lot of our free time in gnome for arch.

  • No scrolling when viewing man pages with Gnome terminal?

    Hi all,
    I have just installed Oracle Solaris 11 on x86. For a long time I've used Solaris 9 on SPARC. I like the new OS, but I'm having a problem viewing man pages with Gnome terminal. When I view a long man page, e.g., "man newfs", I don't get a functional scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. And although the space bar works to advance the page, when I reach the end, it doesn't return to the command prompt. It just beeps, prints "END", and I can only exit by closing the window. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Chris Tidy

    It does sound like you're using "less" instead of more. When you see the "(END)" prompt you can simply type "q" and it will exit back to the command line prompt making it unnecessary to close the window. See the "less" manual page for more detail on the less command. Under Solaris 9 the paging was done with the "more" command. If you set the PAGER environment variiable to "more" the man page will use more and revert to the behavior you'd be used to with Solaris 9. Less erases the text you've already read when you type that final "q" which is a behavior I don't like. I didn't bother to determine if there is a way to fix that with less, I just went back to more. The choice between "more" and "less" is a personal preference.

  • When I close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete, I want to start over on Firefox, I usually do this when too many tabs and windows are open. However, Firefox always restores the tabs and windows I previously had. How can I stop that from happening?

    This happens when FireFox is not responding, and I want to close firefox with ctrl-alt-delete. Too many tabs can make Firefox crash. That is why I want to use ctrl-alt-delete to close FireFox. I tried finding a way to disable this, but I found no option to.

    Ending the Firefox program or process with the Windows Task Manager "looks like" a crash. The proper way to exit Firefox is click Firefox button > Exit (or File > Exit, if using the Menu Bar).

  • I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

    I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
    However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

    This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

  • [Solved] Pulse Audio won't work on newly installed system with Gnome

    About a year ago I got a new computer and more or less retired my old one with my first arch install. Recently, I decided I would set it up as a Linux system for my sister. I first updated the computer, which broke it royally (since it was last updated before the /bin symlinking happened) but I eventually got it fixed. However, after doing that, Pulse Audio wouldn't work, then I broke X and decided to do a full reinstall.
    Now, on this clean install, Pulse is again not working. I have set up Gnome and gdm to work, and everything works great except Pulse.  The wiki says that Pulse with Gnome 3 requires no extra setup, so I have not edited conf files at all. I have, however, installed "pulseaudio-alsa", which created this conf file:
    # Use PulseAudio by default
    pcm.!default {
    type pulse
    fallback "sysdefault"
    hint {
    show on
    description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
    ctl.!default {
    type pulse
    fallback "sysdefault"
    # vim:set ft=alsaconf:
    which seems fairly standard. Anyway, I tried removing it and had the same problems. When I have Pulse Audio running and try to play sound, I get the error:
    ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
    Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
    which is obviously trying for ALSA, or from mplayer:
    AO: [pulse] Init failed: Connection refused
    Running "pacmd list" nets me:
    Daemon not responding.
    and pavucontrol gives me:
    Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK
    when I try to start it.
    No pulseaudio commands seem to work (e.g. pulseaudio -k). They don't raise any errors, but also it doesn't have any effect on the server.
    The only asound conf file is "/etc/asound.conf", clearing ~/.config/pulse does not fix the issue.
    Journalctl does not seem to give anything interesting (Stale PID is the only message when starting Pulse), though admittedly I'm just vgrepping all of journalctl since I don't know how to narrow it down more, nor does the output from pulseaudio -vvvv. There are a lot of errors in pulseaudio -vvvv, but they all appear to be related to loading devices that don't exist, and so I assume not a problem, I can post it if necessary. Sometimes when I kill Pulse the process refuses to go away and I have to reboot in order to clear the process out, but I don't think that's related.
    If I kill Pulse or keep it from starting on boot, I can play sound, but only through ALSA, and while I didn't have the problem I expected (I can still play multiple things simultaneously) there's still the issue that the volume buttons in Gnome will no longer work and that the volume levels ALSA reports are basically nonsense to a human being.
    I basically just blurbed everything I thought of/found on the wiki or forums, and I'm not really sure where to go from here. It's a fairly old computer, so that could be related, and I'd be willing to dump Pulse if Gnome could integrate well with ALSA, but obviously fixing Pulse would be the preferred option.
    Any suggestions on where to look next? I've run out of ideas.
    Thanks.

    Wonder if you have a conflict between two audio cards ... for example, I have a friend with some PulseAudio problems caused by conflict between the HDMI audio from his graphics card and his onboard sound. Something would switch PulseAudio to the wrong card and it would just quit after getting itself into a twist. Unsolved, I'm afraid, but have a look at commands such as:
    aplay -l
    pactl list sinks
    pactl stat
    (Latter two will need PulseAudio coaxed into life first)
    and of course, the Arch wiki.
    If there is a conflict, blacklisting kernel modules might also be needed.

  • Firefox with one tab open takes up 72 Mb. I disabled all of my Add-ons. How do I solve this?

    I disabled all of my add-ons and my Firefox theme is the default that comes with the download.
    I cleared my Cache every time I start Firefox up, and I set my internet history to automatically become deleted once I close my Firefox.
    The problem is that despite all of my add-ons being disabled and my internet history becoming wiped clean once I close the program Firefox, ***With only one tab open*** takes up 48 Mb.
    One time I had only ten tabs open and it took up 600,000 k in my processes (585 Mb.)
    This is driving me crazy as in I have been trying to figure it out all day.
    I used the Google Chrome Web browser but every tab I open up it creates a new Chrome in the processes and each process takes up 48 Mb.
    What is going on?
    I used Firefox 3.6
    and then I tried Firefox 4
    both did the same thing. What can I do to fix this?'''bold text'''

    hello, please install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

  • "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on" - how to disable?

    I am using the latest Firefox (28.0) on Windows XP in a shared computer environment. Although I do not have Administrator access, I installed Firefox myself and can change whatever Firefox config settings I want (including about:config and mucking with the files in the installation directory).
    I want to disable the tab that appears on Firefox startup, "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on". This tab usually appears once per day (the first time I startup Firefox each day). I want the tab not to appear at all, from now on.
    The "another program" in question is some program that is used in the facility where I'm using the computer, so I can't just uninstall that program. Although this is a shared computer environment, they don't "wipe" the machine every day, just reboot. So the Firefox I installed is still there with all my config settings intact. As far as I know, I'm the only person who uses Firefox on this computer.
    Solutions that don't work:
    "Just click Continue" -- but then I still see the "Another program" tab every day, and don't want to see it.
    "Click Remove in the Add-ons list" -- I removed the Add-on in question but the tab still appears every day.
    I would like a solution that either eliminates the Add-on request for that particular application, or eliminates all such requests ("Another program...") regardless of what application requested it. The ideal solution would be if the request itself had a checkbox for "never ask this again" but, alas, no such luck.

    Gosh... I spent about an hour preparing a response, then accidentally did control-something or alt-something which took me back a page and I lost everything I typed (even after I clicked Forward to try to get back to where I was). If anyone knows of a config setting like "don't ever trash an entire page of user input unless the user explicitly confirms it", or, "keep form input data even if the user goes Back or Forward", I think that would be a great feature.
    OK, back to the original question...
    I appreciate the responses thus far, but I think there have been some misunderstandings. Maybe a multiple-choice version would help:
    Question: Is there a way to suppress the appearance of the notification tab that says, "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on" (meaning, any request from another program to install an add-on is to be silently ignored and discarded)?
    Answer:
    (A) Yes, you can suppress that notification (please state how).
    (B) No, but you can request that feature (please state where).
    (C) No, you can't do that or request that feature.
    That's basically my question in a nutshell. If the answer is (B), I might envision a boolean about:config setting like "extensions.allowProgrammaticAddonRequests" that defaults to "true" and can be set to "false" manually. I think that would be the most direct solution (if it were possible).
    I will respond to some comments from above:
    "I don't understand why you are using a mozilla.cfg file to lock those preferences when you can modify the preferences for your current Firefox profile via about:config" -- This is because the "other program" in question (iCafe Manager) was setting certain config options (browser.startup.homepage, and browser.newtab.url) on every reboot (which happens every morning at that facility). I got tired of manually changing the settings back every day. Using the above-mentioned files, I successfully defeated iCafe Manager's daily interference with those config settings. The other things (like stuff related to Socks tunnelling) I probably could have just set once in about:config but doing a lockPref seemed to do no harm. The settings for "enabledScopes" and "xpinstall" were to see if they'd help with the problem I originally asked about, but they did not.
    "I would look in about:config to make sure those preference modifications are in effect" -- yes, I confirmed that the settings are in effect and locked. That much works as expected.
    "A) removing the iCafe Toolbar extension from the Firefox Addons -> Extensions panel results in the "Another program" tab at startup" -- true, but I think it would be more accurate to say: while the toolbar extension is not installed (due to either having been removed, or, never having been installed at all), the "Another program" tab appears on at least the first startup of Firefox after every reboot.
    "B) when you allow the installation it shows up as "(disabled)" in the Extensions list but the unwanted toolbar still shows up (correct?)" -- yes, correct.
    "You could explain the problem to the system administrator of your facility" -- unfortunately, there's no administrator on site, only a person who makes sure the lights are on. They'll call a tech if there's a catastrophic problem (like the net connection goes dead). Since I installed Firefox myself, and since iCafe Manager is a program they installed, I don't think they'll go out of their way to help me with Firefox (especially if I'm trying to defeat iCafe Manager's attempts to interfere with Firefox). From their point of view, their systems are working just fine.
    "allow the installation and then see if you can go to the Firefox Customize menu and HIDE the toolbar as a workaround" -- since I'm not in that facility now (and probably won't be again until this summer or so), I can't experiment with those systems now. But I do recall clicking just about everything I could, including "View - Toolbars" (which seems to be the same menu as when I right-click on a toolbar line). That menu allows hiding toolbars, but from my recollection, the offending toolbar was not displayed in the list, so I could not hide it that way. Also, the Customize menu ("View - Toolbars - Customize") seems to allow only modifications to a toolbar, and not a way to hide an entire toolbar.
    "it might help if you could post a new troubleshooting information list after you allow the iCafe Toolbar installation" -- ok, that troubleshooting report is included below.
    Thanks again for your help.

    I cannot get extensions to run or enable, nor does the browser remember my preference.
    For example, after I install or Enable an extension, when I restart Firefox I get a tab for every extension that forces me to check "Allow this installation" after the prompt "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on".
    Moreover, when I click 'Options' on an installed extension, Firefox freezes permanently.
    Note that I DO NOT have any extensions.* files in my Profile folder, nor do they appear.
    I am trying to get MozRepl running. I am able to install it, but the menu option does not get added in the 'Tools' menu. Moreover none of the installed extensions are able to add to the menu.

    I have made the Profiles\ folder and all subfolders Read-only, including the files.
    I have tried the "Reset Firefox to its default state".
    I have tried uninstalling (including removing all profiles/data) and re-installing Firefox, and I get the same issues.
    My operating system is Windows 7 and I have McAfee SiteAdvisor Enterprise Plus and McAfee VirusScan Enterprise + AntiSpyware Enterprise.

    Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
