In Ubuntu, when we right-click a icon and use "open with", there is an option to remember that application for that file's type.
For some reason, my system is no more memorizing the application (I think it was aftare some update).
And, even when I have already used the "open with" command, the application is not showing in the "open with" list, so I have, everytime, to go to "open with"-"Other Application".
Any hint to solve this?

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on it's own partition. Once in a while I would like to start it as a guest OS under Windows XP.
While it starts and working fine, I can't login with gdm, after I enter login and password, X crashes and I'm at login prompt again. I can login with console just fine.
Is there anything I can do prevent X from crashing?
Hi,
A bit embarrassing as I thought I knew how to use Ubuntu until I stumble on a basic task!
I have named a connection I added to the bookmarks on the Places menu incorrectly and I have no idea how to edit it!
Thanks.
I am using MySQL server on Ubuntu 10.04 and after changing the bind-address from 127.0.0.1 to my webserver IP in /etc/mysql/my.cnf the mysql server fails to load. Any clues will be highly appreciated!
I have tried disabling iptables but useless
Thanks,
Hi guys,
This is a bit of a silly question, how do I run Thunderbird 3 which I downloaded? Well, I can get it to run by executing the 'thunderbird' shell script file. However that creates a terminal windows aswell and will close Thunderbird if it is closed.
How do I get it to open without the terminal?
Thanks.
Edit: I am running Ubuntu 9.10.
I have a new computer with an Asus P8Z68-V LE + Intel i2500 + 8GB of RAM.
I installed Ubuntu without any issue, but the USB3 (from the motherboard - on the back of the computer) doesn't work.
I plug a USB stick -- nothing, I plug my USB3 external drive -- nothing, when I plug them into the USB2 and everything works perfectly.
Also, I ran all updates and everything is up to date.
What am I missing?
Hi Guys,
I upgraded to 64bit ubuntu and every now and again (quite often though) i am unable to to type into the search box for google in chrome and firefox, i havent tried other browsers as these are the 2 i primarily use.
Has anyone else experienced this? any solutions?
also i'm unable to drag the slider in youtube (in firefox) to scan through videos.
My goal is to create an install disk which will install ubuntu with a specific suite of packages. Then use and re-use to initialize multiple systems for reproducing regression testing test bed scenarios.
Hi.
I've just made the switch to Ubuntu on my main PC and I've been looking for a media player that can:
Play all the usual video formats
Rate (and ideally, tag) each file
Display thumbnails for each file
Other than that there isn't much I'm after.
Banshee comes close, but doesn't display thumbnails.
I've Google'd lots but I'm running out of search terms to try.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers!
Hi,
Im relatively new to Ubuntu, Im wondering how easy it is to write what I think is called a shell script to make tasks a little easier.
For example I frequently connect to a server - ssh -p 123 [email protected]
Can and how could I shorten this to a shorter command like "mysite" or "connect mysite"
Thanks.
I am trying to paste some files from my laptop to desktop. both have ubuntu. From the laptop I can see the desktop under Places - Network. I can see the files in the Desktop but when I try to paste a file it says "permission denied"
What can I do on the Desktop so it allows my laptop to paste files?
On CentOS exists the yum versionlock option, where you can lock a package to a specific version, so it is never upgraded past that.
I would like that
puppet-server-2.7.19-1
puppet-2.7.19-1
stays on 2.7, and never upgraded to 3.0. Puppet Labs have released 3.0 and put it into the stable repo, so 2.7 will get upgraded to 3.0, which is not backwards compatible.
Does Ubuntu have something similar to yum versionlock?

I'm using VMware Studio 2 to create virtual appliances.
Now we want to make an appliance of a 64 bit Ubuntu distro, but it's not in the template list, like Redhat 64bit and CentOS 64bit.
Is there a way to do this?
How do I speed up the latest version of Ubuntu on a VIA C7-M 1.6 GHz based netbook (HP 2133)? For example, full screen videos are very slow in the default configuration.
Hi everyone,
Im just wondering what everyone's experiences are with the latest Ubuntu 10.04 version? Is it stable enough for a working environment?
I require it for web development, so using VMs, IDEs, connecting to VPNs, SSH to servers, etc.
Im currently using 9.04 and found 9.10 unstable and problematic at times (such as problems connecting to VPN)
Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
Mac and Windows Vista have such pretty user interfaces with all the transparencies and stuff. Is there anything for Ubuntu Linux to improve the way it looks?
Is that possible to organize nightly builds at Ubuntu Server using MSVC++ compiler?
I mean is it possible to install Visual Studio 2008 and run msbuild.exe in Wine by scheduler to compile C++ solutions?
EDIT: I have used VirtualBox with Win7 in in. It works fine.
