How can I change default applications (Linux) ?

I have a RealVideo server, and I want to use RealPlayer to open various content-types such as audio/x-pn-realaudio and text/vnd.rn-realtext
For some types, I get a drop-down list that says "realplay (default)", but it's not, it's Totem, which is crippled by RedHat so it won't play anything except, maybe, Ogg. I can select the real realplay by browsing, which works but is tedious - my .mailcap file has all these types listed as using realplay so that's what I'd expect to be used.
For one type, it launches Totem immediately, and I don't see that in the edit/preferences/applications list so I can fix it.
Now that I think about it, it's probably got the Totem plugin installed. I'm not sure how to modify that short of disabling it altogether

You can (re)move the Totem plugins if you do not want to use them.
You can see the installed plugins that are enabled on the about:plugins page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aplugins
You can set the plugin.expose_full_path pref to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.

  • How can I change default build time from 1 sec to .5 sec?

    Whenever I create a build, the default time is 1 sec. I'd like it to be .5 sec. I use a blank master slide. How can I change the default build time for all slides? Or can I?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • How Can I Change Default Zoom Settings For Safari?

    I just got my new iMac and hate the fact that everytime I open Safari everything is small and centered directly in the Safari screen.  How can I change the default settings so it either zooms in more or is in a landscaped mode so I don't have two big white patches on the sides of my window?

    The only way I know of, (and that I use) is as follows:
    Open textedit and create a new document.
    Add the following 3 lines to the file
    body {
    zoom: 175%
    Save the file as "somename.css". I called mine defaultzoom.css and saved it in Documents.
    In Safari go to Preferences | Advanced.
    In the Style sheet: dropdown box choose "other" and browse to the location of your somename.css file.
    That's it, now webpages will open with the default zoom level you used in the file (I use 175% but you need to tweak it for your screen size). Also, I do run into situations where some pages don't render correctly. If that happens you can go back to Safari | Preferences | Advanced and change the Style sheet dropdown box to none until you are done viewing that paticular website. Then just put it back when you are done.

  • How can I change the application default template

    Hi!
    If I go to Application Shared Components | Definition | Template Defaults I can see the default page template used by my application. One would think that this is the place to change the default template if wanted to change it, but NOOOOOOO..., like many other things ApEx that's not the way you do it. (An example is the order of columns in an interactive report... all those up/down arrows in there mean nothing if ApEx sets the column default order differently from what you set in the query source or the report attributes section. Nope. You have to log into the application as a developer, edit the column order in your interactive report, and save your report as the default, and THEN you'll get your ordering right. What are these ApEx developers thinking I just don't know...)
    I've search around the forums but I haven't found my answers (perhaps I haven't searched hard enough).
    So, how do I change the default page template for all pages in my application?
    Marc

    ...and once there, if you click on any of the templates looking for a way to set any of them as the default you'll be looking all day. You see the default column with check marks... why not implement the ability to check/uncheck defaults right there?
    Alas, if you click on Edith Theme <no>, then you can set the default template. It's a little link to the right under Tasks.
    My bad for still not understanding the way the ApEx interface works. It certainly isn't intuitive to me, but that's just me. Hopefully I'll get better.

  • How can I change default message encoding in Mail?

    In Lion, most of my email messages in Simplified Chinese is encoded in iso-2022-cn, while I want them in gb18030 or utf-8. Instead of choosing encoding manually every time, can I change the default message encoding somewhere?

    I think the only reliable way to do something like you want is to include something like a Unicode dingbat (range 2700)  as part of each message (i.e. in your signature).  That will ensure it goes out as UTF-8.

  • How Can I Change Default Mail Account in Mail Application?

    I have 2 Gmail accounts. Gmail1 and Gmail2. When I changed the password of my Gmail1 account - which used to be my default mail account - it changed in the Mail application so that now Gmail2 is my default mail account.
    I know that usually you can go
    Preferences -> Accounts -> And on the list on the left you can just drag the mail account you want to be the default account to the top of the list. But it doesn't work. It's just not possible to move them around on the list, they are all stuck.
    Can anyone help me understand why I can't reorder my mail accounts, or if there is another way to which I can change my default mail account?
    Thanks.

    Hey wilhel10002,
    Thanks for the question. My answer to your question relies on what you determine to be the default account. If it is simply which account is at the top of the list, yes you can re-order the accounts in the sidebar as needed (not from Mail > Preferences > Accounts).
    However, I personally perceive the default account as the account that I send new messages from. This behavior can be adjusted in Mail > Preferences > Composing > Send new messages from
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Composing preferences

  • How can I change default folder names in osx

    Hi i would like to know if i can change the names of default folders like pictures , movies , music etc on my macbook. I did this once and lost all my data (or so i thought ). is there a way to do this without losing access to all my files? any help is appreciated

    i was just wondering .... with such a powerful machine and software the inability to rename default folders looks like a handicap.
    I must say i don't miss it at all myself but to each his own.
    various applications and system itself depend on those folders to be where they are and have fixed names. renaming them can have highly unpredictable consequences.
    Do you know of any mods or scripts to do this? just curious!
    no, I don't. in general, OS X has NEVER been famous for moddability. exactly the opposite is true and has been OS X philosophy from the beginning. it can be quite annoying at times but that's how it is. if you want high moddability look elsewhere.
    Thanks for the reply

  • How can I change defaults by making a template

    I keep trying to change the defaults in Pages 2.0.1 (font and spacing for text, to Fixed on page and no extra space for shapes). I can't get the Shapes default changed to Fixed on page; the extra space has changed to 0). And sometimes I can't create a new define default text style (Format>Advance>). After making new settings I Save a Template and then change the Preference to open new documents with my template.
    Is it me or is it Pages? Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hullo Anne:
    Making a template allows you to define particular objects, and also styles, that you include in it. For example, you can define your body text, heading text, and etc. for it - using sufficient placeholder text or images to show what each template or page layout you include in it contains. It does not reset defaults, nor overcome a general deficiency still in Pages 2 to define them.
    Since this is clearly a nuisance to you, I suggest you detail your needs to:

  • How can I change default iCal alert tones?  Basso is awful!

    I am running iCal on a MacBook Pro using OS X 10.9.4
    I've looked at previous threads and tried their suggestions of altering the default in the Library or using Terminal.   Neither of these seem to work in the new OS X, as the files have been restructured for iCal or placed in other directories.  
    Please help - I do not want to receive alerts with the horrible 'Basso' tone.   I can customise new events as I create them, but events from the cloud use the default sound (which is 'Basso') and I want to change that.

    Make sure "All Day" is not checked and you can do it.
    Update: I now see you want that as the calendar Events default. Sorry
