How to open a URL that begins with news://

Hi, everyone!
It seems a silly question, but how to open it?
URL is here: news://news.gmane.org:119/gmane.editors.lyx.general

That's a URL for a usenet group. Those aren't used very much anymore (except by some true diehards), and it's likely your ISP doesn't even provide the service directly, though there are ways to access them via the web. In your case, click here.
If you wanted to configure your browser to handle them, well, it would help to know what browser you're using. For Firefox, you could try the instructions here, but I'd guess it wasn't worth it, unless you had to deal with such links often.

  • How to Open a URL that is displayed in the Column of Results Region in OAF

    I need to open Invoice pdf from OAF page. The link to the pdf is obtained from other table.
    This is similar to Open Image button that we have in Payables--> Invoice: Entry --> Invoice form.
    I need to develop an OAF page where in when the user clicks on the pdf url link, the corresponding pdf has to open for the transaction line.
    I have an OAF page for which in the results region, i retrieve a column that contains URL addresses.
    Say, I have a column named: URL_ADDRESS (www,yahoo.com) in a table and when i press the search button, all the URL addresses are populated in the results region.
    I have defined an item with Style: messageStyledText, and i have set the View Instance and View Attribute properties corresponding to the VO that it is referring to...
    What property do i need to set in DestinationURL??
    My OAF page is based on pure VO. I dont use EO in my OAF page.

    My question is more on how to find the resource from a
    particular location.
    To be more specific, when I use /myresource/image.gif,
    how cat I instuct it
    to use the image.gif file which is in myjar.jar?
    Thanks.getResource() will search the CLASSPATH for the given resource. If myjar.jar is your application and contains a file "image.gif" in the directory "myresources" gif the above given code will load the image from the jar.

  • In my received emails, how can I get Firefox to open URL links that begin with "click."?

    In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.

    This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.

  • How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?

    Hi All,
    I have a question about HTMLDB 2.0
    How to open a URL without session ID and reuse the current browser session?
    That was the behaviour in HTMLDB 1.6 ...
    My usecase for this is the following:
    We have written an issue tracking application, which sends e-mail to the interested users, when something happens.
    In these email we've put a link to some page, with some parameters in the URL.
    The idea is for the user to be easy to click on the hyperlink and to see the details of the ticket.
    When the user clicks on such a link he is directed to a login screen (page 101) and he enters his Username and password, and is then forwarded to the details for the ticket.
    Then he receives another email (e.g. for another ticked). He clicks on the link and :
    a) in HTMLDB 1.6 he goes to the details as he didn't close his browser and session is remembered
    b) in HTMLDB 2.0 he is prompted to enter username, password with the username populated
    Please tell me how can I achieve the same behaviour in HTMLDB2.0 as it was in HTMLDB 1.6.
    I understand this change is somehow security related, althogh I don't understand how. If you can explain this either I would be very happy?
    Best regards,
    Mihail Daskalov

  • Hi - When I go into Contacts and type a letter in the search bar to get to last names that begin with that letter I get a list of random names that don't correlate to the letter. My settings are fine.  Help ?

    Hi. When I go into my contacts and type a letter in the saerch bar to get to a list of last names that begin with that letter I get a list of random names that don't begin or end with the letter.  My Settings appear fine.  Any insights would be greatly appreciated.  Cheers Bill

    The search bar is not designed to take you to names beginning with the letter you put in. If you want to do that, use the letters down the side. In the search bar, the device will return results for all contacts that have that have that letter in them. If you type a couple of letters of the name, you'll find what you want faster. Once you get used to how it works, it's quite efficient.
    Best of luck.

  • What is a file that begins with ._  ?

    A client just sent me some files that begin with ._ in the extension.
    (Client claimed they are vector files for a video project)
    I tried to download and Mac told me they are system files and will be hidden.
    sure enough they didn't show up my desktop. I download again adding a " to the front of the extension. I got the file on my desktop- but it would not open.
    I trashed it.
    I then did a spotlight system search for the ._ files I think I download and I got no result.
    I'm now worried.
    Are these ._ somewhere on my system?
    Can they do harm to the system?

    In Unix the initial period in a filename causes the file to become invisible. Spotlight's default configuration will not locate invisible files. If the files are downloaded to your Downloads folder or to your Desktop then you can make them visible in a number of different ways.
    1. Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    2. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter the following commands pressing RETURN after each. I will assume for the purpose of illustration that you have downloaded the files to your Desktop.
    cd /Users/yourusername/Desktop
    mv ._filename.ext filename.ext
    This will rename each file to the same filename but without the initial "._". Repeat the "mv" command for each file substituting the actual filename.ext for the "filename.ext" in the command line. If you have downloaded the files to a different location, then substitute the full path to that location in the "cd" command line.
    3. Download a utility such as Batch Rename'Em from CNet Downloads or MacUpdate and use it to mass rename the files by removing the initial "._".
    4. Have your client rename the files before sending them to you by explaining that they are invisible on the Mac with the initial period in the filename.
    5. Configure Spotlight to search in system folders and to display invisible files in search results.
    6. Download Easy Find - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate - and use it instead of Spotlight.

  • How to open the Url type in Attachments Table

    Hi All,
    If we attached the any files, files are stored in the fnd_lobs table, pickup the data from the fnd lobs table and stored in the local system but if attached the url type how to open the url type.is there any standard ?
    Thanks,
    Venkat

    You can do it one of two ways:
    1. Insert some CSS that will change the target to "_new".
    2. Change the field that the user enters information in to a single line of text, then create a calculated column that is:
    =CONCATENATE("<a href=",[URL Field]." target=new>Click here</a>")
    Format that as a number.

  • Macbook:  How do I uninstall a game on the macbook?  I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with.

    I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with.  I know that in Windows, there is an "Uninstall" option, but I have found no such option on the Macbook.

    This is one OS X's few weak spots. For most software, it is sufficient to drag the application out of the Applications folder and into the trash.  Of course, this does not delete its preference files, etc, but these are usually pretty small, and can either be left in place or deleted separately.
    Some software might ship with a separate uninstaller utility that you can run.  Sometimes, the package installer can also perform uninstalling, too. 
    You can buy general purpose uninstaller utilities, but as far as I know they won't work for software already installed; only for software installed once the uninstaller is in place.
    Perhaps the safest option is to contact the company that made the game and ask them how it should be uninstalled.

  • Error when trying to create a new object that begins with Z

    Hi forum,
    When I try to create a new BW object that begins with Z (infofuente, infoarea, component application), I skip the following error.
    Namespace''is not a valid namespace BI
    Message no. R7017
    Diagnosis
    Namespace''must be entered in both the BI RSNSPACE table and the basic table TRSNSPACE or the view V_TRNSPACE. You also have to enter the relevant generation namespace '& V2' in TRNSPACE table. This value is taken from table RSNSPACE.
    Both namespaces must be set to 'Changeable' - providing they are not empty.
    Response System
    You can not edit or create an object in this namespace.
    Procedure
    Use a different name.
    Or contacct your system administrator. He / she can switch to the namespaces' Changeable 'using SE06 transaction, or - if they do not already exist - enter them in the table above named using sm30 transaction.
    If the namespace '& V1' is empty, then the problem is with the generation namespace '/ BIC /'.
    Procedure for System Administration
    I've been following steps said to me, and yet I still persisted error. I am probably missing something ... that may be?
    A greeting,

    Hi,
    Try to create the objects again and take the screenshot of SU53 when you get the error and see the authorization object for which you are getting the error here.
    It is possible that you dont have development authorization.
    Also the issue could be that the system is not configured to create the objects begining with Z.
    Check this with basis as well.
    Thanks
