Maximizar y vídeos a pantalla completa que ocupen dos pantallas
Buenas a todos He estado buscando mucho, pero no encuentro exactamente lo que quiero. Tengo 2 monitores que, unidos, utilizo para ver películas. Simplemente me gustaría que al utilizar las opciones de pantalla completa (full screen) se utilizasen ambos monitores en lugar de uno solo. Igualmente, al utilizar maximizar, las ventanas se maximizan únicamente sobre un monitor, y no sobre los dos. La tarjeta gráfica es una integrada Intel con 2 salidas VGA y otra salida HDMI, las que utilizo son las dos VGA. ¿Alguna idea? como entorno de escritorio uso fluxbox y para configurar los dos monitores tengo configurado xrandr al inicio de fluxbox.

Jag går vidare utan nätverkskort i installationen med tanken att fixa detta senare, har inte gjort det förut men antar att det borde vara i /etc/modprobe.d/example.conf - alias eth0 e1000 Utan att ha löst problemet med nätverkskortet startar jag systemet efter installationen, jag får följande felmeddelande: SYSLINUX 4.06 ERROR: No configuration file found No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! boot: Om jag skriver något efter boot: får jag felmeddelandet Could not find kernel image: Är det någon som förstår hur jag kommer runt detta.

Twitter Client para Gnome 3
Olá, Alguém conhece um twitter client legal para instalar no Debian Wheezy - Gnome 3? Usava no Debian Squeeze o Twitux, só que pesquisando pelo Wheezy (# apt-cache search twitter) parece que tiraram do repositório e não possui nenhum que interessei ou não funcionou com este Hotot. Tem o Choqok, mas não quero instalar bibliotecas do KDE no Gnome. Obrigado e ate mais!

How do I configure the system to allow a non-root user to insert a mmc card and obtain write access to the mmc? Question. There are (at least) two different ways to mount removable media. 1) Is there an entry in /etc/fstab for it? If so does it have the user flag on it? Here is a typical entry for a cdrom showing the user flag. And a custom entry after it also showing the flag but that entry isn't a standard one. /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sdg1 /media/usbdisk autouser,noauto,noatime 0 0 The user flag is what allows the mount to happen as the user invoking the mount command. In which case the owership and permission is the same as that of the invoking user. 2) If nothing like the above /etc/fstab entry exists then some desktop session daemon is automatically mounting the media for you upon insertion. Such as the gnome-volume-manager. In which case you would need to find out which daemon is doing it and configure it.

Changing Hostname?
I recently installed Jessie on a new computer. Now that I have the system up and running I decided that I would like to have a different hostname than the rather unimaginative 'localhost-01' I picked during install. I used the mate-network-admin utility to change it, and checked /etc/hostname and saw that the change was reflected there also. Then I rebooted. The display manager wouldn't load, leaving me with an almost blank screen (there was a blinking cursor in the upper left corner). I switched to another virtual terminal, edited /etc/hostname back and was able to boot normally. Although when I just opened mate-network-admin again it still had the new name in there. Apparently mate-network-manager changes /etc/hostname, but changing /etc/hostname doesn't reverse it completely??? (I'm thinking I must have done something wrong, because that doesn't make sense). Anyway, the main question is, how do i change the hostname for my system? I did do some searching online, and so far I found that I have to change: /etc/hostname /etc/hosts then run the command sysctl kernel hostname=NEW_HOSTNAME. There were also directions on how to change config files for some specific packages. Am I missing anything?

Re: How to load non-free firmware driver
Robert Parker wrote: But now when I connect to my wirelees access point it gives me a 'connecting' message and finally connects only to immediately drop out and start connecting all over again. What configuration are you using to connect to it? Are there any clues to the problem in /var/log/syslog around the problem? Basically unless we see something it isn't going to be possible to help. (And unfortunately since you are the one seeing the problem it may not be possible for us to guess correctly at the reason anyway.) My access point is unsecured, I don't know if that has any bearing on the problem. In theory it shouldn't. But the difference between theory and practice is the difference between theory and practice. Your device is an Atheros and that has a good reputation. YMMV. Always worked well for me. There are several steps in the WiFi connection process. Off the top of my head: 1. Associate. 2. If DHCP is configured then perform DHCP protocol. If your wifi is associating and immediately disassociating then there could be a problem with the driver. Try unloading and reloading the driver. This sometimes works for me and others on the list have reported it similar. rmmod drivername ; sleep 1 ; modprobe drivername If the wifi is associating okay then it will typically DHCP. (Unless a static configuration has been chosen.) If the DHCP fails then the device will be deconfigured. If the device associates then it should be able to transmit and receive dhcp packets. If this is prevented then dhcp will fail and the device will be deconfigured. The dhcp might fail if the device is not tranfering dhcp packets properly. Or if a firewall is blocking those packets. If you have a firewall then try the connection with the firewall disabled. I often use tcpdump to try to capture the dhcp protocol but this is trickier since the device is always going up and down. For tcpdump use the device any to listten to any configured network. Another useful tool is 'dhcpdump'. But usually if packets are being transfered then it will work and if packets are not being transferred then it won't work. It is also possible for all to work okay on the client end but to have the dhcp on the server end to fail. A typical failure configuration is to have too few dynamic IP addresses available on the pool. For example one open wifi access point that I know at one of the local airports has only 25 IP addresses in the pool. It allocates those addresses for 24 hours. At 6am in the morning you can associate and get an IP address. By 10am in the morning all of the 25 IP addresses have been allocated and leased for 24 hours. They will not free up again until the next day. This is a misconfiguration of the wifi access point's dhcp server configuration for the task that it is trying to do but it creates this behavior of not being able to get wifi access from it due to a server configuration issue even though the client is okay. (Workaround hack: If you know the configuration then you can bypass DHCP and set a static configuration for it.) This next item I am going to mention isn't really associated particularly with wifi. The DHCP will transfer routing information. That is usually always good. The DHCP will transfer nameserver information. This is sometimes troublesome. If the nameserver is broken then it leads to a confusing situation where the network connection is established but no names can be looked up. Since humans generally deal with names it makes it appear as if the network is both up and down at the same time. If you hear people suggesting a particular known good nameserver such as 8.8.8.8 that is the problem they are addressing. However I believe it is better to fix the real underlying problem rather than work around it. Good luck! Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Changing the system hostname is a simple process. But it depends upon
what is installed since often the hostname is embedded in the
configuration of a package. For example the Postfix mail transport
agent needs to know the hostname in order for mail to work properly.
(I assume Exim does too but I don't run it and so don't know.) So
does Apache. And so forth. Each of those packages that need to know
the hostname need to change. Each of those changes are simple. Just
make sure you look and change all of them.
Here are the places that need to be changed on every system.
/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname
/etc/mailname
On systems running Postfix:
/etc/postfix/main.cf
An unknown list of other files are possible depending upon what you
have installed and the configuration of those. I would find them all
and change them. Ignore binary files but note them as some files may
need to be recompiled and rebuilt.
find /etc -type f -exec grep -l OLDHOSTNAME {} +
Typical files that you can ignore are encryption key .pub files. The
hostname will be in the commend field and does not matter. Ignore
them such as /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub or other ssh_host_*_key.pub
files. Or change them if you want to be completely clean. Doesn't
matter. Also ignore any /etc/lvm/* files if you are using lvm.
Ignore /etc/aliases.db but feel free to run 'newaliases' afterward to
recreate it with the new name. (I don't know why the Berkeley db
builds the hostname in the .db file.)
You will probably end up ignoring more files than you care about. If
you see something that is obviously a hostname then update it. If in
doubt ask on this list. Someone will either know about it or will
know how to figure it out.
Then I rebooted.
Good. So many daemons need to be restarted that it isn't worth it
trying to avoid the reboot. Possible yes but not worth it.
The display manager wouldn't load, leaving me with
an almost blank screen (there was a blinking cursor in the upper left
corner).
What display manager are you using? There are many available. This
sounds like the display manager you have used has configured the
hostname into its configuration. I personally have not seen that
problem with display managers before.
I switched to another virtual terminal, edited /etc/hostname
back and was able to boot normally.
Note that you were almost certainly booting normally before. The
hostname will not prevent the system from booting. But starting a
graphical login manager is NOT something most of us would consider as
critical to the system boot process.
It sounds like a small part of your system, the graphical login
manager, doesn't start. It not starting does not invalidate all of
the rest of the system. I realize that to you not having a mouse
might be catastrophic but really it is only a small part of the
system. :-)
You mentioned mate-network-admin so I assume you are running mate.
But I don't know if that implies gdm for the login manager or not. Or
is there a mate fork equiv of it? If it were me I would log in at the
Linux console and start it manually and look for error messages.
login: root
password: **
root@localhost:~# service gdm restart

Although when I just opened mate-network-admin again it still had
the new name in there. Apparently mate-network-manager changes

Probably the mate-network-admin caches the answer you gave it and is
using the cached answer regardless of the actual system configuration.
(I'm thinking I must have done something wrong, because that doesn't
make sense).
I am thinking that you are using a opaque blackbox tool that doesn't
show what it is doing and therefore not learning anything useful about
the system. Personally I despise those opaque wrapper blackbox tools
that try to make things easy for the user but keep them ignorant of
what is happening and prevent them from learning anything. Everyone
who drives a car should know how to change a flat tire. I believe
system adminstration is similar.
Anyway, the main question is, how do i change the hostname for my system?
As described above.
I did do some searching online, and so far I found that I have to change:
/etc/hostname
/etc/hosts
Certainly those files need to be changed. But also other files too.
Look for the previous hostname and see what files contain it on your
system. This is where setting a very unique hostname on a system is
easier than localhost which will be everywhere. If the system name

The short answer is don't use .Xdefaults but use .Xresources with xrdb instead. They are subtly different. If 'xrdb -q' has any output then your .Xdefaults will be ignored. Almost every desktop session manager sets something in xrdb which will cause the .Xdefaults to be ignored. Ask if you want the longer explanation. To be simple use xrdb to show what you have in memory. What you see there is what is there. If you don't see it then it isn't there. $ xrdb -q | less To make changes: $ $EDITOR .Xresources $ xrdb -m .Xresources # merges your _additions_ with the current Or: $ xrdb -l .Xresources # loads your complete total set overwriting all The choice of -m or -l depends upon if you want to merge or completely overwrite.

But for example with fvwm where the user controls everything then -l load and overwrite would be appropriate. I use a traditional PS/2 mouse. It has two, and only two, mouse buttons.

The important thing is that it will start up using ifupdown. It is set to use auto meaning that it will start synchronously at system boot time. If it were using allow-hotplug then it would use the current standard event driven interface. The two startup paths should both work but they are different. It is certainly possible for them to behave differently with one path working and one not working. I have problems with NIS/yp with the allow-hotplug event driven path but it works with the auto path for example. (I need to debug that to root cause some day.) Just for the purposes of debugging if you are using allow-hotplug then try switching that to auto. In theory allow-hotplug should always work but since it is the newer event driven method sometimes there are still bugs to be found. It is possible that your case is one of those. Try auto instead and see if that older start ordering causes things to work in the correct way. I always use auto for fixed machines, like this server. I see by this that you are already aware of the issues and understand the differences between. I will still say a lot for the archive because it might help someone else looking at the problem later. But then my question would be the reverse. If you were to switch to allow-hotplug would that cause things to happen differently and perhaps work? It would be something to try. Although I am sure you don't want to thrash your production server. Trying these experiments on a local victim development machine or VM would be good. Since you are using auto then the numbers defined in the LSB headers in the /etc/init.d/* scripts should drive the placement in the boot order in the /etc/rc2.d/S* symlinks. Things should work in that order. If things do not work in that order then that is the problem to find and fix. Also when the interface starts up it will execute the scripts registered in /etc/network/if-*.d/* and those will happen at the time when the interface status changes. But I doubt that is the problem here since by definition if-up.d/foo would happen after the interface is up and your problem is something happening before then. resolv.conf is search rail.eu.org nameserver 127.0.0.1 Just to verify, no resolvconf installed? unbound listen on loopback when it is started: unbound 3048 unbound3u IPv4 11035 0t0 UDP 127.0.0.1:domain unbound 3048 unbound4u IPv4 11036 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:domain (LISTEN) unbound 3048 unbound5u IPv6 11037 0t0 UDP [::1]:domain unbound 3048 unbound6u IPv6 11038 0t0 TCP [::1]:domain (LISTEN) I think I will guess that the problem is that auto is the old path through the system boot. Something in your use of 'unbound' isn't set up for that path. Dig into how unbound starts. $ ls -1 /etc/rcS.d/S* $ ls -1 /etc/rc2.d/S* Look over that list and verify that it should be starting networking in /etc/rcS.d/S*networking and that unbound starts up when it is supposed to start up. For example for me: /etc/rcS.d/S15networking /etc/rc2.d/S03bind9 Everyone's numbers will be different of course since those are determined by the installed set of LSB headers from the /etc/init.d/* files. The numbers do not matter. They are set dynamically by 'insserv'. The errors you showed in the log file were from dns name resolution failures. How are nameservers configured for your machine? Are you using DHCP to set them? Or are they statically definited? Are you running a local machine nameserver daemon such as bind9 or dnsmasq or other? What is in the /etc/resolv.conf file? I use 2 dns servers, on different IP addresses : NSD on public addresses,

FWIW, I have a cheap usb wireless adabter with the same identifier listed in your lsusb (ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter) and it's been working fine with Network Manager in Gnome (in fallback mode) in wheezy. Haven't needed wicd, or anything else for that matter, to get it working. (The performance isn't too great but that's probably due to the driver and/or hardware.) Well try as I might..I could not get the darned thing to operate. It was setup properly but I couldn't use it. As I said wicd solved the problem for me in Debian. On the other hand, I just booted into Fedora 19 and it recognized the device, set it up..called dhcp and it was ready and waiting when I reached the desktop. Weird or what. I don't like NM but the symptoms you reported don't seem to be due to the difference between wicd and NM. The symptoms showed that the wifi was associated but no dhcp response was received. I sometimes get this too using the Intel 2200BG driver. I think it might more likely have been a driver issue. I find that unloading and reloading the driver fixes the problem. And another list member reported the same thing recently too. I think that may have been more likely the issue rather than the choice of system management software. I think for this particular case either wicd or NetworkManager would have been okay and that it isn't a particular problem with NM. On the surface if there isn't a dhcp received then I would expect that one wasn't sent on the server side. However in practice I find that I have had kernel driver issues more often and reloading the driver fixes it and therefore it cannot be due to missing dhcp frames. The unanswered question is what situation causes the device to report being associated but fails to communicate data? Don't know. I am using the ralink driver with a USB RT3070 device. That is different from the RT5370 device you are using but I think the driver is the same? For me it is the rt2800usb family. The ralink driver has been working well for me. I am using one as a client and two as an access points and found they work pretty well for me. So far I would give them a thumbs up. Anyway, it's good that you solved your problem, whichever way was handy. Any port in a storm :) Agreed. Glad that your problem is solved. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Acpi Lid Suspend with Eeepc 900 Not Working
Installed Wheezy-LXDE 32-bit off LXDE flavor ISO via thumb drive to
replace Eeebuntu 3.0 that I installed on it 3 years ago or so. Chose
Base, Desktop GUI and Laptop tasks. Nothing else. All went well and
as far as I can tell everything works, except Suspend (sleep, not
hibernate) when the lid is closed. Don't want hibernate anyway. Instead
of sleeping, the display is shutdown, but the computer itself is still
fully powered and running. (The sleep key combo FnF1 works however.)
I installed the eeepc-apci-scripts from the repo thinking that might
solve the problem. It didn't, but fortunately those scripts are
compatible with the others, so no conflicts.
I finally traced the problem to lid.sh from the original acpi
scripts. Full script is below. Toward the top, this if-then is not
being triggered. Don't know why.
if [ x$LID_SLEEP = xtrue]; then
pm-suspend
Any answers come to mind?
I did a work-around by having the lid event call my own suspend.sh
action directly. It works, sort of: Goes back to sleep after initially
waking up, requiring a second key press, then it sticks.

Re: Changing Hostname?

I would recommend: # sed --in-place=.bak -e 's/localhost-01/yournewname/g' $(grep -lr localhost-01 /etc) Good intention but that will corrupt many binary files. Beware! Here are some interesting binary ones that I would not edit in place from my system. Well, I wouldn't run a command if I wasn't able to figure out at least the basics of what it was going to do. But from other replies I thought I wouldn't need anything too fancy to accomplish my goals anyway. And, based on other replies I edited 'hosts', 'hostname' and 'mailname'. Then rebooted. The DM (LightDM) still will not start. I changed to another virtual terminal (by that I mean I pressed CtrlAltF1), logged in a root and ran 'startx'. That worked OK. To look for references to my old and new hostnames I ran the following command: grep -rH HOSTNAME in /etc and substituted both old and new names for HOSTNAME. The 3 files I edited earlier still had the new name. The only file with the old name is exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, and that doesn't look like it would cause the problem. There are over 20 files with the word 'localhost' in them, but not with '-01', so far my guess is that it is just used to reference the host machine even when it is not the actual hostname. So, maybe this is something specific to LightDM. I did check the files in /etc/lightdm but there were no reference to host', local or otherwise. I started searching through my log files and thought this might help. These are entries from the most recent boot up, which is when LightDM would not load: Auth.log - Dec 21 16:36:38 (none) lightdm: pam_unix(lightdm-greeter:session): session opened for user lightdm by (uid=0) Dec 21 16:36:38 (none) lightdm: pam_unix(lightdm-greeter:session): session closed for user lightdm Dec 21 16:37:13 (none) login[3563]: pam_unix(login:auth): check pass; user unknown Dec 21 16:37:13 (none) login[3563]: pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=/dev/tty1 ruser= rhost= Dec 21 16:37:15 (none) login[3563]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on '/dev/tty1' FOR 'UNKNOWN', Authentication failure Syslog - Dec 21 16:36:38 (none) avahi-daemon[2285]: Server startup complete.

Email MTA /etc/mailname Configuration (was: Changing Hostname?)
Brian wrote: Bob Proulx wrote: Here are the places that need to be changed on every system. A non-exclusive list. There will also be other places too. /etc/hosts /etc/hostname /etc/mailname Would (or should) it be necessary to change /etc/mailname? mailname(5) describes this file as containing . . . the fully qualified domain name that the program wishing to get the mail name should use (that is, everything after the @). I guess it depends upon what you have in that file but in 100% of my machines I have the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) of the system. I think that is typical and therefore it would always need to be changed. But it might not be typical for everyone. Others may do things quite differently. That is the problem with a flexible configurable system. There are many different ways to do things. Everyone thinks the way they do things is best. :-) All of my email behind my site router can send mail from the machine itself. This is very useful on headless servers for notifications. On the private network I want to see the actual hostname. Hiding the hostname would be counterproductive. My desktop that I am sending this message from is being sent from such a configuration. But wait you say you don't see the FQDN on this email. That's right. On my site mail relay I configure Postfix for site masquerading. I set the following in my site router relay configuration. masquerade_domains = proulx.com masquerade_exceptions = root masquerade_classes = envelope_sender, header_sender local_header_rewrite_clients = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated That causes mail outbound from my desktop to change from my local hostname over to the shorter domain only address. This is the best plan for me since I may send email from my desktop or from my laptop. When I break my laptop and buy another one the new one will be masqueraded. When I change desktops the new desktop is usually up and running in parallel with the previous one for some time. Because the masquerading configuration is in my site mail relay I don't have to do anything special on the local client workstations. But as with all things other people may have other ideas. If they want to masquerade at each system then they might set the myorigin to be their domain email address. They might only have one system. (Horrors! grin/) Then all email will be sent to and from that domain address. In which case that file won't change when the hostname changes. The upstream Postfix docs even recommend this. The Debian specific change to allow myorigin = /etc/mailname supports this. It just doesn't happen to be best for everyone. Among other things it means you should also set up a domain wide alias database for all addresses in use. Most large sites have this. It just so happens that I don't. You could argue that I should. As a side note I always block outgoing port 25 traffic at the site router. This prevents a virus infected MS Windows machine from being able to send mail outbound from my network and putting me on a DNSBL. I use Exim but I'd expect Postfix's manpage to be identical. I expect so too. Since /etc/mailname is a Debian specific thing I expect it to be Policy across all mail transport agents so I assume that includes Exim too. But I wouldn't expect to find that on other non-Debian systems. The idea is to give a global place to configure whatever is installed without really knowing what might actually be installed. One place didn't exist for all of them and therefore Debian created that location for use in Debian. Other non-Debian systems won't have that file. And won't have a centralized place to configure all of the MTAs either. Or if they do it will likely be in a different location. In Postfix the configuration is up to the local admin to keep or remove. It is myorigin = /etc/mailname and the Debian specific part is that it is allowed to be a file. A lot of Postfix admins will not need that setting and will have a custom file of their choosing replacing the entire default template. http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#myorigin myorigin (default: $myhostname) The domain name that locally-posted mail appears to come from, and that locally posted mail is delivered to. The default, $myhostname, is adequate for small sites. If you run a domain with multiple machines, you should (1) change this to $mydomain and (2) set up a domain-wide alias database that aliases each user to user@that.users.mailhost. Example: myorigin = $mydomain Since the default is myhostname and on Debian the default hostname is the short name not the FQDN then for Postfix one value or the other always needs to be set. Either myhostname needs to be set to the FQDN or myorigin needs to be set to something. To understand the myhostname issue you have to understand that Postfix by default wants to see the FQDN set as the hostname but that isn't typical

Re: [SOLVED] Copy and Paste between xterm and other windows in a Debian XFCE environment
Stephen Powell wrote: Installing xfce4-terminal worked for me. Actually, based on someone else's post, I installed task-xfce-desktop, which brought in a whole slew of stuff, including xfce4-terminal, then purged xterm, the lightdm* stuff, and task-xfce-desktop itself, which has a dependency on lightdm. (I'm using xdm and don't want to use lightdm or even have it installed.) xfce4-terminal is now my default terminal emulator in the XFCE desktop environment. Shift+Ctrl+C copies and Shift+Ctrl+V pastes in xfce4-terminal. In most other applications, such as iceweasel, Ctrl+C copies and Ctrl+V pastes. That makes sense to require the Shift in the terminal emulator, since Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V need to retain their historic functions for terminals. (Of course, you can also copy and paste via the mouse and the action bar Edit menu.) I take it from the above you wish to use C-c, C-x, C-v in the terminal, okay to use Shift-C-c, Shift-C-x, Shift-C-v in the terminal, instead of the mouse for cutting and pasting? Because those do all tend to imply using the clipboard instead of the primary selection. And this is a very personal thing. People either like using one or the other. X has traditionally used the mouse with the primary selection. MS-Windows has traditionally used the keyboard with the clipboard. And the two worlds have been clashing ever since! :-) I tried all sorts of stuff regarding .Xresources, as suggested by other posts, but nothing worked for me in that area. (That was while I was still using xterm, of course.) I still think it should work fine (X primary selection cutting and pasting with the mouse) in the default configuration without any additional configuration added. But regardless I am glad to hear that you have something you are happy with for you. :-) I couldn't find any documented options in xorg.conf for emulating a 3-button mouse with a 2-button mouse either. I remember that option from older versions of the X server. These days, input devices, such as keyboards and mice, are expected to be auto-detected. If you don't have anything set then I believe the default will work okay without any specific configuration. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The network communication socket connection could be tcp over the network or it could be a local unix comain socket. As I recall the hostname is encoded in there somewhere. Meaning that if you change the hostname while the system is up and running that it loses communication. As I recall this causes current windows to continue but causes failure to open any new windows. You can close windows but can't open them. But that knowledge is from years ago and things might be different now.

is fine. But because he had other failed logins the browser form
history was remembering these other lines and suggesting them in the
login fields. Those erroneous suggestions were in the way.
There are two elements:-
;login/profile stored in cookie (sometimes as a lash cookie which is
another kettle of spit)
;password (and login) stored by password manager
The sites, i.e. google use cookies to store the login
The browser stores the passwd OR you can use a password manager (I
recommend KWallet). If the browsers stores the password the key is the
URL. The Iceweasel browser can store many username and password
combinations against a given URL. These can be weeded with Iceweasel -
Edit - Preferences... - Security - Search for part of the interesting
URL - Remove bad password/username.
Sometimes the problem is that the browser won't store a username and/or
password. This may be solved (sometimes) by creating a blank bookmark
for the site and reloading the page.
Other times the inablity to save a username and password is the result
of dedicated stupidity verging on criminal negligence i.e. the
site/application was designed so that password managers could *not* be
used (I'm looking at you OpenERP). This happens when company employ
idiots as programmers and the idiots can't manage their own passwords
for testing so they design the interface accordingly. If the trick is
done with javascript saving the following single-line of code to a
bookmark will allow the browser to save the username/password:-
javascript:(function(){var%20ac,c,f,fa,fe,fea,x,y,z;ac=autocomplete;c=0;f=document.forms;for(x=0;xf.length;x++){fa=f[x].attributes;for(y=0;yfa.length;y++){if(fa[y].name.toLowerCase()==ac){fa[y].value=on;c++;}}fe=f[x].elements;for(y=0;yfe.length;y++){fea=fe[y].attributes;for(z=0;zfea.length;z++){if(fea[z].name.toLowerCase()==ac){fea[z].value=on;c++;alert(Enabled%20'+ac+'%20on%20+c+%20objects.);})();
With applications like OpenERP where the programmers have gone to more
trouble to ensure poor security the only solution is don't use the product.
If you find yourself in a similar situation you can remove them
individually. To remove them you can of course completely clear the
browser history. Or you in Iceweasel at least you can hover the mouse
over the undesired entry suggestions and press the keypad Delete key.
That will remove that individual entry from the browser history
without needing to clear the entire form history.
It's probably a good idea to clear all cookies and History as default
everytime you start a browser if privacy is a concern, but judicious use
of the Private Browsing feature of most good browsers is a safe
substitute (IMO). With Iceweasel it 'used' to be possible to set Privacy
so that history and cookies were always deleted from previous sessions.
I suspect you need an extension to do that now.
NOTE: form history, and browsing history are different. A site can
read your previous browsing history but not your form history.
tl;dr? browsing history bad, form history useful.
