[SOLVED] Gnome doesn't apply the theme to new opened windows

Hi,
I'm using Gnome as desktop environment, but encountered a really annoying issue .
I want to change the theme and therefore do the following "Right click on desktop -> "Change desktop background" -> Theme -> "Darklooks". All opened windows (as well as the panels) get now dark, just as expected. But as soon as I open up a new windows (or add something to a panel) it doesn't get affected by the theme, but it is display with the standard bright grey. After changing the theme again (I have to choose another first, and then go back to "Darklooks") all "new" windows get dark also.
As I'm not happy with this situation I ask you for help? What is wrong with my Gnome?

On my own website vdha.us, I am now getting many words that are purple and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens trying to sell something. IE-9 does not do this. How do I turn this off in firefox?

Sirs,
The below URL came up immediately when I tried to access our Newfangled website this morning http://vdha.us :
http://surveyprizecenter.com/survey/claimgift-GT-kw-7b.php?t202kw=Vdha.us&trimmedKeyword=Vdha.us
I prefer to use Firefox and very seldom use IE-9. but now I might be forced to remove Firefox 4.0.1 and resort to using IE-9 because of this situation.
I don’t know how spammers can use our website to exploit their spamming, but I can only imagine the complaints I am going to get from our Board of Directors and members about this.
Can you make them stop, or at least explain how it is that anyone can do this without our permission.
We have never allowed advertisement on our website and don’t plan on starting now.
I am now also getting many words that are purple with two lines under them, and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens automatically trying to sell something. How do I turn this off?
I would appreciate any expediency in the return of an answer that you can provide.
Kindest Regards,

The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

How to share the Mac folder to open windows without password?

how to share the Mac folder to open windows without password?

No easy way. Unless you use the same username and the same password on both system then you have to enable Windows File Sharing (SMB) in Sharing, add your Mac username and type in your password in the options of Sharing and then set a NetBIOS name and a workgroup name that is the same on both Windows and Mac. That is in the Network section under advanced WINS tab.

[SOLVED] Gnome login hangs on the first try

Since this past weekend, when I try to log into gnome, it accepts my password and greys out the password entry box, but just sits there forever. If I hit escape it aborts properly, and the second try always works. Where should I be looking to see what's going wrong the first time?
I'm also having another, more serious problem that may be related: whenever the "Authentication Required" window pops up for a settings change or mounting another disk, it gives me the same greyed-out hang. But trying again doesn't work, since cancelling it cancels the attempt altogether - the next try just hangs again. As it is I can only do any root operations through the command-line; gnome is totally neutered by this. So -- what is this gksu-like functionality of gnome 3 properly called, and how do I debug it? Does it have a log somewhere I should look for?

I've restarted polkitd on the command-line without --no-debug, and it shows NO relevant information at all. After cancelling the grayed-out dialog, I get:
Error performing authentication: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Cancelled: Authentication dialog was dismissed by the user (polkit-error-quark 1)
21:54:02.838: Operator of unix-session:2 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.freedesktop.policykit.exec for unix-process:10885:60499253 [bash] (owned by unix-user:jorenko)
But there's nothing from when I entered my password and the graying-out began.
Interestingly, when I used --replace to replace the polkitd that systemd had started for me, I got only command-line auth (gnome wouldn't launch the dialog at all, and "pkexec echo hi" gave me a command-line password prompt), which actually worked. But when first stopping the systemd version, then running it again manually, I got the above result.

Can anybody successfully apply the 110202-01 patch on windows?

Hello,
I am new to solaris. Solaris(intel) only recogniz 6.8G out of my 40G hard drive. I tried to apply the patch here http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/retrieve.pl?patchid=110202&collection=fpatches. I tried to use DOS version of dd command which was obtained from ftp.uu.net:/vendor/sun/solaris/x86/dd.exe to copy the files to floppy disk on my WIndows. But this dd only work for that ITU1.3 file, but always say "Error durning OPEN of [S28dca1000]". And according to the readme file, it looks like I need both files to make use of the whole 40G. THis thing is driving me crazy. Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot.
jim

I was able to create both of them. If you created the first one you should not have problems creating the second one the only diference in the procedure is the name of the file. Download the patch again maybe there is some corruption. I also applied the patch but it didn't solve the problem. Ref.

After updating iPhoto to 9.2 Photoshop CS2 doesn't display the photo I have opened. The photo shows in the Navigator on the side panel, but not on the screen. MFF

After updating iPhoto to 9.2, Photoshop CS2 doesn't display the photo on the desktop screen, even though the image is shown in the Navigator pallet well to the right.

No, that is the problem. I don't see how it should be, but that is what happened after I did the upgrade, which was for iPhoto 9.2. The upgrade then required that the Library be upgraded. Then CS2 stopped showing the photo when I opened CS2. Maybe there was a system upgrade for the whole system, that went along with 9.2. Before the upgrade CS2 worked. I even tried photos that I had on backup disks, and they wouldn't show in CS2 even though I had draged them to the PS icon in the dock. These photos were not on my computer when the Library was upgraded. I even tried photos fresh from the camera. Elements 9 does work to open the photos.

How can I edit the theme on Safari for Windows/the look of Safari for Windows?

The title says it all.
I want to edit the look/theme of Safari for Windows.
Is it possible?
Thanks.

If there is nothing on the disk that is important, by all means erase it and partition it anew with sufficient space for your Windows app. But be warned that you will lose everything on the disk. Investing in iPartition will let you change things again in the future if you need to, without losing any data.

OS X doesn't remember the default app to open a file with [delete the thread]

Alright, so I have installed ACDSee and I want this app to be a default app the image files should be opened with.
However, OS X keeps reverting back to the system's "preview app".
Yes, I obviously ticked the "always open with" box, but it won't remember it. And at preferences (security & privacy) I allowed any app from the internet.
Is there a system file that I'd edit with a text editor and manually set up a default app for a certain file extension?
nevermind, rebooted the OS, and now everything works fine.

Is there a way to change the default program to open a file with another program using a Rededit key. I would like to change the program to open a .g3pp file with vlc instead of media player cause it doesn't read
it.
Why make life hard for yourself? Just right-click any .g3pp-file, then left-click "Open with". That's all!

Firefox asks (twice) to save and close tabs, on new open windows without tabs, when i close them.

About one month ago, i started to receive a message box from firefox, asking if i wanted to save and close tabs, on newly open windows (and pop-ups) without any tabs open on them.
And everytime i close the windows without tabs, firefox asks it twice...
I did not made any changes, so i don't know why it started doing this.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How to open the link in new firefox window for web desktop based application? Or how to open the mail/website/rss link in new firefox window

I am using the firefox 3.6. My problem is that I am using the web desktop and few web desktop based application directly opens link. If I click on rss link than it opens in same window, so no longer access to web desktop. I want to open any kind of link in new window instead of same window. I have tired to change the value of browser.link.open_newwindow, browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction but doesn't work. Also gone through the https://developer.mozilla.org/en/window.open but not sure where to do this in web desktop based application or firefox where we connect the web desktop?
Is there any way to open the link every time in new firefox window?

Hi Joseph,
the HTMLB link object misses the support for onClientClick through the tag lib, see hbj:link without onClientClick ? and OnClientClick Event for Link HTMLB Component for similiar problems and workarounds.
With this workaround, you can call for example an AbstractPortalComponent, implement doOnNodeReady (with an empty doContent method) and return the PDF, settings the content type on the http before etc.
Hope it helps
