New zshell terminal always opens in mounted NFS directory

Whenever I add NFS share in /etc/fstab, every time I open new terminal urxvt (zshell) it automatically goes to NFS share directory instead of ~. What could it be? Thanks in advance!

When i open a new site it always opens up on the side in a narrow window

I used to click on a site and it would always open up in the full screen. Now when I open a new site it always opens up in a narrow window on the left, 1/5th the size of the full screen, and continues to maintain the previous site in the remainder of the screen (4/5ths). The only way I can create the new site on the full screen is by dragging it over to the 4/5ths screen and then x'g out the narrow one on the left. Why is this happening and how do I eliminate it so that each time I open a new site it will open on the full screen?
Thank you in advance.

Are you using a bookmark? There is a little-known feature of bookmarks that can load them in Firefox's sidebar. This allows you to work with two pages side-by-side. To change that setting, right-click the bookmark > Properties, then uncheck the box for "Load this bookmark in the sidebar".
(You probably didn't set this yourself. If you use a link on a website to have the site add a bookmark to Firefox, due to restrictions on what sites can do, those will always be targeted toward the sidebar.)
If that's not it, have you noticed any pattern in when this happens?

Firefox 6 ,Hyperlink not opening when I select Open In New Tab, it always Open In New Windows.

I have just upgrade to Firefox 6 and I having problems opening Hyperlink when I select Open In New Tab, it always Open In New Windows. It will work when I open another copy of Firefox browser but not on my main browser. Any suggestions to fix this ?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Dual monitor - force new windows to always open on primary monitor?

I use my secondary monitor to watch streaming TV in internet browser windows. When I have finished watching streaming TV and the secondary monitor is switched off, Safari still opens new browser windows on the secondary monitor by default (presumably due to the fact that the last active browser window was open on the secondary monitor). This is irritating and means I have to switch the secondary monitor back on to drag the new browser window back to the primary display. The secondary monitor is connected by VGA.
This is a minor niggle, rather than a major issue, but it is irritating nevertheless! Does anyone know if there is a way to force new windows to always open on primary monitor, regardless of where the last active window was?
Any help much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Ben

After many days i found solution:
Run the client and get it set up the way you prefer, or Open your saved RDP file
On the Display tab, choose a non-fullscreen resolution.
On the General tab, click "delete these credentials", if possible.
Click Connect .
You will immediately get a local login dialog. Leave it blank and click
OK .
When you are connected and the remote login dialog appears, drag the window to the desired monitor.
On the remote login dialog, click Cancel . The settings dialog should reappear locally.
On the Display tab, you can now choose fullscreen.
You can now save your session with the Save button on the
General tab, as well as save your login credentials.
Try more times ,worked for me.

Finder opening new Windows despite always open in new Tabs setting.

I have already submitted this to Apple. But wish to open a discussion here, to probe and see, if this issue frustrates other users. It would be nice to get some empirical weight behind my already submitted request.
The Issue: I have already set in Finder »always open in new tabs«. Despite this, when for example one clicks on »view Download in Finder« (Safari), or via a Spotlight-search clicks CMD+R to view a search-result in Finder, a new Finder-Window gets launched. This is really frustrating and quickly clutters up the desktop. Could Apple please fix this, so that »always open in a new tab« really does just this? (Or at the very least, opens a new tab in the last opened Finder-window).
The same irritation ist true for Terminal. I just wished users would be have the option to open everything in the same (e.g. the last opened) window.

Virt-install cannot mount nfs directory

Hi all,
I'm trying to use ovms but I cannot create any virtual machine.
I successfully installed OVMS; I disabled iptables to avoid network problems.
I created a dvd from Oracle Unbreakable EL 5.0 cds on a different machine.
The dvd image is shared by a linux CentOS box. The ISO image is inside /opt/tmp_os_isos/50 so I did
service nfs start
mkdir /mnt/dvd50
chmod a+rwx /mnt/dvd50
mount -o ro,loop /opt/tmp_os_isos/50/Enterprise-R5-GA-Server-i386-dvd.iso /mnt/dvd50/
exportfs *:/mnt/dvd50
and on the ovms server I did:
[root@ovms ~]# virt-install
What is the name of your virtual machine? giallo2
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 512
What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /virtpcs/dischi/giallo
How large would you like the disk (/virtpcs/dischi/giallo2) to be (in gigabytes)? 30
Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no
What is the install location? nfs:10.10.10.242:/mnt/dvd50
And I always end up with the error
That directory could not be mounted from the server.
If I try to run
[root@ovms ~]# mount.nfs 10.10.10.242:/mnt/dvd50 /mnt/50
it works!
I also tried to build adifferent dvd iso, or to uso a OEL 4.4 dvd iso (taken from an original working oracle dvd) but I always end up with the same error
Where am I wrong?
thanks, andrea

I realized this problem was somehow related with the ovms installation: the pc I installed ovms on has two network card; when I installed ovms I configured eth0 via DHCP (eth0 is linked to the office network and to internet) and I configured eth1 with a static IP (eth 1 is connected to a "private" network made by 2 more pc).
I also choosed to manage ovnms via eth1 (the network card witch has a statis ip), and everything regardind ovms has always been done via eth1.
Now I reinstalled ovms and I choosed to manage it via eth0 (si I put a static ip address on eth0) and everything seems working: I'm just installing OEL5.0 via nfs without any problem (I hope... :-) )

When I open a new window, it always opens a bit to the right , or to the left, or a bit above the last one opened. Is there a way to avoid this?

"new window" command always opens a new window that is smallest possible size, so I have to resize it - every time.

What's causing this?
Moreover, is this related? I can't see the downloads window. CMD-J isn't brining it up, nor will it appear via the menu.

Click the link to [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel?as=u#w_content-settings Advanced JavaScript Settings]
You need to uncheck the setting which enables sites to resize windows. This option is accessible in the submenu by clicking the "Advanced" button in the Javascript menu shown in the image.

Home page always opens to bank of america website since my last update of firefox.

since my update of firefox 1 day ago, whenever I open a new page it always opens to the bankofamerica.com website. I am not a customer of theirs and have no intrest in using there site as my homepage. I have tried the old method as well as the new drag and drop method to change the homepage but it will not work.

I had this problem, too. Setting your homepage to "blank" won't do it, because none of your account settings will save when you close your browser. You will need to COMPLETELY uninstall Firefox and reinstall a whole new copy. Save your bookmarks in a word doc so you can get them back later.
I know it's a pain, and maybe someone will eventually figure out a better fix, but this works.

Where is the "Always open folder in new Finder Window/Tab" option ?

Prior to 10.9, we have an options to choose whether to open folders in the same window in Finder preference. But I can't find anything similiar to that in Mavericks. Now I'm forced to open folders within the same window / tab, unless I press the CMD key while double clicking on the folder, and I still yet to find a way to do so with keyboard navigation.
Did I missed something ?

Yes I know that, but that option is completely useless, since you're forced to open a folder within the same tab.
Even with that option turned on, you still can "open folder in new tab" only by holding CMD key while double-clicking on a folder. And there is still no way to open a folder in new tab with keyboard navigation: CMD+O or CMD+Down-Arrow will always open folder within same tab.
So I consider this as a bug; maybe someone just forget to enable this option in the Finder preference dialogbox.
Is there any terminal command (defaultswrite ?) or 3rd party tool like TinkerTool, OnyX or Deeper that can change the default behavior of Finder ?

How can you get your homage address to open when you open new tabs? My homepage is Google, but my new tabs always open with Yahoo.

On my old computer, all my tabs always opened to what my homepage was set to: iGoogle. Now with my new computer, my homepage is set, but all new tabs open with Yahoo! I've tried looking at tab setting but don't see a place to set it. Help!

The behavior that you have is not the default Firefox behavior, which always opens a blank tab. You will have an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo related add-ons to see if they have this option. The freeze net assistant add-on is another one that opens Yahoo in a new tab.
There are add-ons that allow you to specify what should appear on a new tab, but these may conflict with the add-on that is opening Yahoo.
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

I set firefox to open a filetype (.SGF) w/ a program but it doesn't, so I set it to save/ask and neither option works, it always opens file link in a new tab.

I've gone into the Options and set the .SGF file to open with Smartgo. It refuses to do that. Clicking on a link to a .SGF file simply opens the file as text in a new tab.
Since this didn't work, I tried to set firefox to download it instead, because then I can use the window's filetype associations to open it. It won't download the file unless I actually right-click and save-as on the link.
This is tedious when viewing lots of these files. I even set it to Ask me after I saw the the Download option didn't work. It doesn't Ask me. What is going on here?
Also I am using firefox 23
EDIT: It seems to be website specific. Some websites will allow me the option to open it in Smartgo, others will just open it in a tab as text. What is causing this discrepancy and can it be surmounted through browser settings?
An example website to showcase the issue is:
http://igokisen.web.fc2.com/wr/lg.html
clicking on any of these links will not download, open, or ask about what you want to do with the file.

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

How can I make my new Mac always open JPGs, TIFFs, etc., in Photoshop not Preview?

This worked fine on my old Mac (OS X 10.8.5). I selected a JPG & went through these steps: Open with > Other > Adobe Photoshop CS4 > click on “Always Open With”. After that, double-clicking on any JPG opened it in Photoshop. Same for TIFFs etc. On my new Mac (OS X 10.9.2), this works only for each individual file. I am in & out of Photoshop all day long & really need to be able to open photos by double-clicking on them. Help, please.

Your problem seems to have nothing really to do with Photoshop but be an OS issue.
Have you tried repairing permissions yet? (I’m not on Mac OS 10.9, but permission issues seem like a possible culprit.)

How to make Safari browser always open a new web page in a new Safari browser window which was clicked from a PDF document URL

Hi
I have a web application which would enable users to see a list of PDF document on the web page and when the user select the PDF document, it will be open by a adobe PDF view
Within the content of the PDF document, it will contact URL links to some other portal web pages which we would like these other web pages to be open in a new browser window, but our testing shows that the new web pages may not always open in a new browser window.
Could you help to advise how I can enforce that new web pages that are clicked from the PDF document can always be open in a new Safari browser window ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sen Lee

Hello,
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
#In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
