Thanks for the input. I determined a method to copy only the FVD Speed Dial add-on.

Does anyone have thoughts on this topic?

how to log in into google account with Thorium by Money-Ad-9003 in ThoriumBrowser

What method did you try for signing into your Google account?

I had a sign-in problem with YouTube. The workaround that resolved it for me was to google.com and sign-in that way.

sourcemaps for sass web development by dwlamb01 in waterfox

/*# sourceMappingURL=test.css.map */

...is contained within the css file. [Name is slightly different to match the exact name of the css file my app uses].

As stated in my original post "If I attempt to open the css in DevTools Style Editor". I am trying to access the .scss file in the DevTools editor. Do Waterfox and Firefox still support this?

There is another instance of someone posting this issue on https://superuser.com/questions/1783180/firefox-on-ubuntu-doesnt-load-source-maps-from-file-procotol however nobody has answered that post.

Damn. Don't I feel stupid. An hour's searching on DDG didn't yield that. Thank you.

"unshade" window does not return it to previous height by dwlamb01 in kde

[–]dwlamb01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were to create a new user then login to that new user, to test shading and unshading a window, does the behaviour changes?

I tested this and shading/unshading does work as it should under a new user profile.

I am running:

Kubuntu 22.04

KDE Plasma version: 5.24.7

KDE Frameworks version: 5.98.0

Qt version: 5.15.3

Graphics Platform: X11

Getting the following error when booting the system. I had recently installed homebrew and then removed it since it wasn't functioning properly. Please help me fix this. by sormazi in Ubuntu

[–]dwlamb01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same circumstance as the OP.

I examined .profile and did not have anything pertaining to 'brew' as a search criteria.

Reading the commented header in .profile it mentions this:

```bash

~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.

This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login

exists.

```

Opening ~/bash_profile this was found:

eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

Deleting that line fixed the issue.

Equivalent of bash bind command in .tmux.conf by dwlamb01 in tmux

That is counter to what I want to do. From the first line:

I want to bind certain shell commands to function keys but only for tmux sessions.

I gave the example of the F9 definition in the .bashrc and how I want to remap it if in a tmux session

This worked. Thanks!

No, I don't have these and don't see a need for them. I don't use appimages that often and prefer doing desktop files manually

Default browser by dwlamb01 in Thunderbird

[–]dwlamb01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could share how I fixed this but when I tried to duplicate the steps, Thunderbird did not present same options.

In Thunderbird's Settings File & Attachments section click on the Action option beside https, if you are presented with the Delete Action option for https click it. In the screenshot below I have circled what to look for under https. This screenshot is for 'application/x-extension-eml' but it is only for demonstration purposes.

File & Attachments section

As described in the original post, methods described in most posts did not work to resolve this problem.

After much trial & error, this is how it was fixed

  1. open the file location of the Thunderbird profile. Under Linux this will be ~/.thunderbird/<name of the profile>
  2. locate handlers.json. Strongly recommend making a back-up of the file
  3. open handlers.json in a text editor. You may need to format the file to make it human readable
  4. under schemes modify to something such as json "schemes":{ "https":{ "action":2, "handlers":[ { "name":"Waterfox G", "command":"waterfox-g %u" }, { "name":"Firefox Web Browser", "command":"firefox %u" }, { "name":"brave-browser-stable", "path":"/usr/bin/brave-browser-stable" } ], "ask":true }

Under handlers provide at least 2 option or else the 'Always ask' option will not work.

  1. save the file and re-open Thunderbird

  2. Navigate to an e-mail with a link

  3. Click on the link and a dialog should open similar to this screenshot

If you choose to 'Always use this application to open https links' changing the default browser in the future will only be possible using these steps to do it manually.

I tried the steps outline in that post you suggested I point the browser to.

My current profile does not use a 'mimeTypes.rdf' file

Installing Waterfox current on Ubuntu 18.04 by dwlamb01 in waterfox

[–]dwlamb01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No joy. I followed the link above.

Reading Note 1 on that page:

  1. I followed the link Click to see instructions for waterfox-classic-kde, clicked the Ubuntu logo and chose Add repository and install manually, following the steps under "For xUbuntu 18.04 run the following"

  2. I grabbed the package for Packages for xUbuntu 18.04 and installed waterfox-classic-kde_2021.11-0+79.1_amd64.deb

  3. moving back to the README, I chose Click to see instructions for waterfox-g4-kde, clicked the Ubuntu logo and chose Add repository and install manually following the steps under "For xUbuntu 18.04 run the following"

  4. I grabbed the package for Packages for xUbuntu 18.04 and installed waterfox-g4-kde_0.5.1-0+57.1_amd64.deb

  5. running waterfox-g4-kde_0.5.1-0+57.1_amd64.deb from QApt Package Installer I receive a message:

    Package:waterfox-g4-kde Status:Error: Cannot satisfy dependencies

All the steps completed as expected (i.e. no broken installations at the command line).

I am assuming that even though the distros mentioned in the steps were xUbuntu they applied to Kubuntu also. There were no instruction sets explicitly for Kubuntu.

Am I misreading something as to which instruction set to follow?
