Xdg-open strange behaviour

When I have no defaults.list and mimeapps.list, xdg-open opens text/plain with gvim. But when I create defaults.list in /usr/share/applications/ and add the following lines :
[Default Applications]
text/plain=emacs.desktop
it opens text files with firefox.
However, if I move /usr/share/applications/defaults.list to ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list, it opens text files with emacs as expected.
What is happening with xdg-open?

Thanks for this quick reply. Yes, the $ is present in the real path and yes, mapping seems to work. If it is this easy, why doesn't the default file>open work, this looks like a bug? It is not that userfriendly if every user (hundreds) should map there own drive letter to get this to work.

File Open strange behaviour

In File > Open, the shortcuts on the left side don't work (Desktop and My Documents). Within our company, these are stored outside the PC on the network, so whatever PC I use i get my own desktop and My Docyuments available. But, SQL Developer can't find these, even when I use the Location drop down list. If I put the mouse over the My documents button/link, the location is shown correctly (My Documents (\\WINSVXXX\My_Username$\My Documents). In Help>About, then tab Properties the property user.home shows correctly \\WINSVXXX\My_Username$. Can it be that SQL Developer accesses the network as a different user (anonymous?) so that it can't find the location? This is the first application that I know of that can't handle this.
Strangely enough, on Tools > Preferences > Worksheet the Browse button for "Select default path to look for scripts" works perfectly! I want that dialog for the normal file>open dialog.
Is there any way i can get this to work?

Strange behaviour of Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command)

hello guys,
i wrote a program which executes some commands in commandline (actually tried multiple stuff.)
what did i try?
open "cmd.exe" manually (administrator)
type "echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%" and hit enter, which returns me
"AMD64"
type "java -version" and hit enter, which returns me:
"java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b25)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode)"
type "reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\7-zip"" returns me:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\7-zip
Path REG_SZ C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
i wrote two functions to execute an command
1) simply calls exec and reads errin and stdout from the process started:
public static String execute(String command) {
          String result = "";
          try {
               // Execute a command
               Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
               // Read from an input stream
               InputStream in = child.getInputStream();
               int c;
               while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                    result += ((char) c);
               in.close();
               in = child.getErrorStream();
               while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                    result += ((char) c);
               in.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
          return result;
     }the second function allows me to send multiple commands to the cmd
public static String exec(String[] commands) {
          String line;
          String result = "";
          OutputStream stdin = null;
          InputStream stderr = null;
          InputStream stdout = null;
          // launch EXE and grab stdin/stdout and stderr
          try {
               Process process;
               process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe");
               stdin = process.getOutputStream();
               stderr = process.getErrorStream();
               stdout = process.getInputStream();
               // "write" the parms into stdin
               for (int i = 0; i < commands.length; i++) {
                    line = commands[i] + "\n";
                    stdin.write(line.getBytes());
                    stdin.flush();
               stdin.close();
               // clean up if any output in stdout
               BufferedReader brCleanUp = new BufferedReader(
                         new InputStreamReader(stdout));
               while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine()) != null) {
                    result += line + "\n";
               brCleanUp.close();
               // clean up if any output in stderr
               brCleanUp = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stderr));
               while ((line = brCleanUp.readLine()) != null) {
                    result += "ERR: " + line + "\n";
               brCleanUp.close();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();
          return result;
     }so i try to execute the commands from above (yes, i am using \\ and \" in java)
(1) "echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"
(2) "java -version"
(3) "reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\7-zip""
the first function returns me (note that ALL results are different from the stuff above!):
(1) "" <-- empty ?!
(2) java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
(3) ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
the second function returns me:
(1) x86 <-- huh? i have AMD64
(2) java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)
(3) ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.
horray! in this version the java version is correct! processor architecture is not empty but totally incorrect and the reg query is still err.
any help is wellcome
note: i only put stuff here, which returns me strange behaviour, most things are working correct with my functions (using the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command); code)
note2: "reg query "HKLM\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\CentralProcessor\0" /t REG_SZ" IS working, so why are "some" queries result in ERR, while they are working if typed by hand in cmd.exe?

ok, i exported a jar file and execute it from cmd:
java -jar myjar.jar
now the output is:
(1) "" if called by version 1, possible to retrieve by version 2 (no clue why!)
(2) "java version "1.6.0_10-beta"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-beta-b25)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b12, mixed mode)"
(3) C:\Program Files\7-Zip\
so all three problems are gone! (but its a hard way, as i need both functions and parse a lot of text... :/ )
thanks for the tip, that eclipse changes variables (i really did not knew this one...)

View Master mode strange behaviour with jpg files

Hy all,
I'm using Aperture, and I'm tweakin a lot the SW to discover all secrets ....
I'm really concerned about a strange behaviour of the SW in view mode.
If I open a jpg file, do not apply ANY modification, and apply the "show master" command (pressing M), there's a subtle behaviour :
*the images get sharper !!!!*
It behaves as if an "edge sharpening" was applied !!!!!!
With _RAW files this thing doesn't happen at all._
Even stranger, if I zoom to full definition (by pressing Z), and toggle between normal view and "show master" view, the immage remains the same !
The effect is not so evident with all images, but sometimes it is !!
Anyway, I expect not to have such kind of things with a professional SW.
With professional cameras and good quality files it's really annoying not to beeing sure what's the REAL content of the jpg image.
Has anyone noted this thing ? Is there a reasonable explanation ?
The only one I tried to figure out is the following : may be Aperture applies some kind of resampling algorithm with jpg files (bicubic, bilinear, etc).
May be this resampling is not applied with 100% magnification, as weel as with raw files.
But it's only my guessing. Now, I'm tweaking other viewers and other SW to understand what's the real jpg image stored in the file : the blurer one form normal view or the sharper one with "show master" mode.
I stress once again : of course, the jpg file I'm talking about have no settings at all, just imported and toggled with M button.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Enzo

Hy,
I'm afraid I'm not been clear.
The problem is this :
1) jpg image opened in normal view mode, no zoom, (no quick preview, of course) : image with a certain amount of blour
2) jpg image opened in show master mode, no zoom, (no quick previre, of course) : image SHARPER with respect with the previous.
No edit applied from import, so "show master" command shouln't apply any change in rendering, should it ?
The only thing I said on 100% view is that such difference (between normal mode e show mastermode) is not present with 100% magnification.
That was the issue.

Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation- Strange behaviour of network adapter

Hello there are discussions and questions around this community about network adapter dropping connection while system is running. But I have found unique problem with my network adapter driver.
I have tried to state my problem as clearly as possible. Please ask if any detail is required.
My network status shows no access on following occasions:
1. On alternate system wakeups.
eg:
a. System boots up
Internet accessible
no problem
b. I put system to sleep(first time) and wake it up
No access to internet !!!
When I check in network and sharing center not even adapter shows in disabled status.(See video from the link given below).
c. Without restarting system or without installing network adapter again, I put system to sleep again and wake it up (2nd time).
Internet accessible
d. I put system to sleep for (3rd time) and wakes it up.
No access to internet!!
If I put system to sleep again and wake it up definitly I get network access.
2. If I switch off the modem before windows shutdown completely or in the process of shutdown, next time when I boot system, even though the modem is switched on before booting the system, No internet access tooltip will be shown on network
sysbol.
Another strange behaviour is on no internet access status, I start installing adapter, and it loads required files and prompt me to click "next" and "click" install.
But the thing is before I go to "next" button, I will get network access as shown in this link
http://youtu.be/sPlXVEiYBeo. Ignore virtualbox adapter. Same behaviour was there when there is no vbox adapter. Same was happening in Windows 8 Pro, but not in windows 7, so that there is no H/W problem I think.
Any idea on how to fix this or any alternate solution ?

Hi,
Firstly, access your network adapter official website to get the proper driver applied to your system.
Then going to Control Panel > Device Manager, right click your adapter > Properties. Under the Power Management tab, make sure "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" checkbox unchecked.
If it still persists, try to disable "fast startup" as below steps:
1.In Control Panel, open the Power Options item.
2.Click the Choose what the power buttons do link.
3.Clear the Turn on fast startup (recommended) check box.
4.Click Save Settings.

Strange behaviour in Mail

I have ongoing strange behaviour with Mail in Mountain Lion on a MacBook Pro.
As well as randomly and intermitttently dropping connections to my various mail servers, I also, randomly and intermittently, fail to get to Print, or to create a new Mailbox, or to Quit. I just get a beep.
Have to quit Mail - sometimes forcibly, and restart it.
Mail will not automatically reconnect to servers after a Sleep , or moving to a differnt location.
None of this was happenning on an older MacBook, but I was running 10.7 on that machine.
Had to upgrade machine to allow upgrade to Mountain Lion. Not sure which is responsible - new MB PRo , or 10.8?!
Do I really have to re-install OSX just to reinstall Mail?
Any other pointers/hints very welcome.
Thanks

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Strange behaviour with Safari.

Very strange behaviour with Safari this morning. Pages loading piecemeal or partially. The content only becomes viewable after the cursor has passed over the area. Have cleared caches and reported it but I'm wondering if this is a local matter here in the UK. Anyone suffering similar problems? Firefox is responding perfectly normally.

I see a reply has come back via a previous post. As I am trying to get a response to this one I shan't reply there but I should point out that for me, this is an isolated problem. I do use open DNS but with no track history of problems there , I can't blame that.
In the last few minutes normality has returned.

Strange behaviour - any ideas?

Strange behaviour began when i was unable to open a new page in photoshop.
The next day i was unable to print from word or photoshop or emails.
However i could print from freehand and excel!
I used disk 1 to verify and repair disk.
this did not solve the problem as then when i tried to open Safari the toolbar opened but no window.
I have reinstalled the operating system making an archive but this also has not had an effect.
Any ideas on what to do next or should I just reinstall the operating system over the old one?
many thanks 4 any help

Sarah, to help the knowlegable users here please advise which model G5 iMac you have & include this info in your system info preference by clicking on the "My Settings" link in the right hand column.-->
This way, you won't have to keep repeating yourself and the knowlegable users will be able to provide you with the correct trouble shooting information/solutions if the problem is your computer.
Also, it will be helpful if you will advise which version of Word, Photoshop you have, which email program & the type of printer you are using.
Thank you.

[SOLVED] French Canadian keyboard strange behaviour

Hello!
I just upgraded to Gnome 2.30 in [testing] and my keyboard has a strange behaviour. With Gnome 2.28, my keyboard layout was set to Canadian French (legacy), and still is, though some of the keys do not behave the same. For instance, the accents "`", "¸" and ^ do not behave as usual, but rather give me some letter with that accent on it, rather than letting me choose the letter on which put the accent.
Moreover, the SHIFT+3 combination gives me a # instead of a /, but not in all software. Google Chrome has the good behaviour, but gnome-terminal gives me a #.
Do you understand any of this?
I'll post the packages I have upgraded.

Problem solved!
I remembered I once configured my keyboard with HAL and /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi was set to xkb.layout=ca and xkd.variant=fr. I changed the GDM layout to Canada and removed the xkb.variant=fr from the .fdi file and everything was fixed!

IPhoto: strange behaviour with preview thumbnails

Is there a simple way in iPhoto 8 to rebuild the thumbnail database?
I recently noticed a strange behaviour iPhoto 8 has with previews: In some of my event categories, iPhoto does not display the correct preview thumbnail of the picture, but a preview thumbnail of another event. When I click on the thumbnail, it reloads the appropriate preview and it does not happen again - with that picture. Also, if I double click an event to open it, the small thumbnail of the event's key photo that is to be displayed in the title bar (next to the All Events button) is not always correct.
Thank you for your help!
Stefan

I have similar problems (lately) with iPhoto 6.0.6 -- thumbnails do not equal the images they 'thumbnail' of.
Sometimes when it opens, it (recently) asked me to rebuild the thumbnails, but not always.
Can I force a thumbnail rebuild using the command you gave - Apple-option while opening iPhoto? In iPhoto 6.0.6 this primarily forces a new selection of a library.

Strange behaviour on reading procfs

Hello,
I have a strange behaviour reading process table from procfs. Some processes have a resident size and image size of 0 (zero). So I wrote a little test program and generated a 32bit binary. It gave me the same result. After I made a 64bit binary and this brought the expected results. Do anyone of you have an idea what i'm making wrong. Below you can find an output example and the code of the program.
Every answer is appreciated

Hello.
If a 32 bit process reads from /proc different structures are returned as if a 64 bit process reads the same files.
In the OpenSolaris sources this can be seen in http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/fs/proc/prvnops.c#2600 (line 2600).
Unfortunately a 32 bit task cannot get all information about a 64 bit task - at least not in current Solaris version. I think this is a problem to be solved by Sun...
Martin
If anyone from Sun involved in the development of the procfs reads this: My proposal is:
/proc/xxx/psinfo32 and psinfo64 and a symlink psinfo. The symlink's destination depends on the reading processes data model....
(The same should be done with all files (lwpinfo...) in /proc).
Another idea is a special IOCTL that controls if a 32 bit task wants to access the 64 bit structures...

Strange behaviour in ORacle Forms Webutil 106 / Error message WUC-14 WUC-12

This is to inform you about a strange behaviour in Webutil V1.0.6
Hosting environment is Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 on Unix Solaris 10
Oracle Server 10.2.0.4.0 Enterprise Edition
Client-envionment : Windows 2000, IE 6
I created an Forms based application which reads in certain text files into the database using
Webutil. The data will get changed using the application with logic and lateron a different textfile
will be transmitted using either ftp or it may be created on the client side (again with Webutil).
This solution worked perfect for some time (a year or so) using CLIENT_TEXT_IO...
Hoewever, during the week, I recognized users coming up with the statement that the download
to the local client does not worked anymore in certain situations. The system is producing an error-msg
on the Form in the following sequence :
WUC-14 [getFromObjectCache] ...
WUC-14 [getFromObjectCache] ...
WUC-12 [FileFunctions.newLine()] ...
I traced the session and traced WebUtil, was able to reproduce the problem but could not find out the source
of it in the first place.
Hoewever, it came out, that part of the file being created on the client is a "¿" sign : hex :$BF
This was already part of the file being read in the first place, so the value is stored in the database.
There is no problem when reading a file having a content like this with CLIENT_TEXT_IO but there obviously is one
when writing it to the local client.
The file is getting processed on the client and gets closed with CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE.
After the FCLOSE statement is getting processed, the above errors occurs, The length of the produced file is then : 0 bytes ^^
Whenever facing a problem like this check the content of the file you are trying to create.
Workaround was :
- set workingDirectory in formsweb.cfg
- using Forms based TEXT_IO rather than CLIENT_TEXT_IO to create the file on the backend side (Apps-server)
- implement WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_To_Client_With_Progress to download the file to the client
In order to make it a little bit "colourful" I implemented a bean with progressbar when creating the file on the back end side
Works perfect... and looks nice :)

Hi Andreas,
install.syslib.location.client.0=webutil\syslibi found the above line over google but when i check my webutility configuration file i didn't found it there. I added this line after the line i have mentioned in previous post but this also not worked. And then i worked on changing permission over folder.
HI XeM
Your adding location is ok. But i suggest try something different. Change the above line to
/* i'm confuse with the \ or / *\
install.syslib.location.client.0=\webutil
or
install.syslib.location.client.0=/webutilAnd do the following work In the client
1. Close ALL open browsers.
2. On the client machine search all directories for webutil.*properties and delete all instances of that file.
3. Delete d2kwut60.dll, JNIsharedstubs.dll, and jacob.dll from the JRE\bin directory.
4. Clear the JRE jar cache. This can be done several ways, but using the Java Control Panel is likely the easiest and safest.
Now stop the OC4J instance and start again and try at client...
Hope this works...
If works... please post the solutions.

Strange behaviour of lenovo3000 n200

Hi, guys !
I bought 3000 n200 notebook few weeks ago with preinstalled Windows Vista on it. I've downgrade it to XP and installed all drivers and new BIOS. Recently (not right after installation) very strange behaviour was appeared on my laptop - it starts to beep after POST screen and when enetring BIOS(continiously). In addition, in XP every popup menu is accompanied by continous beep sound. Also in every text field (including Word ,Notepad pages , etc) windows writes '/' symbol until i close it.. Sometimes this behaviour dissapearing, but only for time.
I've already tried:
1) install new Win XP/2000
2) back to old BIOS
Any suggestions, guys? I need help!

I haven't found this beep symptom - after restarting it beeps once and for a long time (meahwhile i have balck screen with cursor blinking), after that normal booting continues. But the problem mainly in XP itself - it doesn't allow me to open any window with edit text box. For example, start->run brings up window and it is immediately filled up by '///////////////////////////' ???

Strange behaviour when setting client_info and module in v$session

Hello,
I've tried to set the CLIENT_INFO field in V$SESSION using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO but found a strange behaviour.
Normally the forms modules seems to set the field MODULE in V$SESSION to its name. If I use DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO the CLIENT_INFO field is set correctly but the MODULE field is set to 'frmweb.exe' instead of the forms modules name.
I also tried to set the MODULE using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE but then strangely the MODULE and MODULE_HASH field of the original frmweb.exe (the main applet?) entry and the entry for the forms module were the same (set to the new module name). From now on every newly opened module had 'frmweb.exe' as the module entry until I closed the forms application.
Example:
Entries in V$SESSION:
-- After start of forms application there is only one entry for the process:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         frmweb.exe        854945150
-- When a new forms module is opened it looks like this:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         frmweb.exe        854945150
1596:7204         my_module         1929284615
-- When the modified forms module that sets the client_info/module is opened this happens:
PROCESS           MODULE            MODULE_HASH            CLIENT_INFO
1596:7204         mod_module        3097977240
1596:7204         mod_module        3097977240             my client info
1596:7204         my_module         1929284615As one can see the entry of the forms application seems to be overriden (at least the MODULE and MODULE_HASH fields) but the CLIENT_INFO only changes for one of the entries?
The following code is responsible for the changes of CLIENT_INFO and MODULE:
    -- get client info
    client_info :=
        webutil_clientinfo.get_ip_address
        || ' (' ||
        webutil_clientinfo.get_user_name
        || ')'
    -- set client info
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO(client_info);
    -- get module (set action to '')
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE(name_in('system.current_form'),''); I really don't understand, why it does not work properly.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

This was an application module pooling, activation / passivation issue.
After view objects had been set-up correctly, the problem disappeared.

Strange behaviour in Chromium browser with PDF links

I am using the Chromium browser from the repository (v4.0.249) and xpdf as my PDF reader. xpdf launches fine from Firefox and Opera when clicking a PDF link in a website. Before I had Chromium set as my default browser Chromium would actually launch Firefox(!) and then FF would load the PDF document into xpdf. That in itself is strange. Now that I have Chromium set as my default browser (using "export BROWSER=/usr/bin/chromium" in ~/.bash_profile) when I click a PDF link Chromium opens a new tab and gives me this error:
This webpage is not found.
No webpage was found for the web address: file:///home/larry/Downloads/Hardware
The Downloads directory is where all my downloads go. Any ideas on how to set up Chromium to use xpdf properly would be greatly appreciated. I went to the Chromium forum and there was a similar query with no response as of yet.

Works for me™
Do PDFs open in the right app if you open them with 'xdg-open path/to/pdf/file' ?
Edit:
I forgot to mention that I haven't set any "special" environment variables before using chromium.
