i have been using Shoes in windows from couple of months and it was working awesome, but now i am having Ubuntu set up on my machine and i am trying to run shoes in it but it seems like URL is not working .... i.e nothing happens when i click on it.
Have anybody observed this problem.
Any help on this?
thanks

Looking at the source code, this would seem to to be the relevant bit:
shoes/native/gtk.c
shoes_browser_open(char *url)
{
VALUE browser = rb_str_new2("/etc/alternatives/x-www-browser '");
rb_str_cat2(browser, url);
rb_str_cat2(browser, "' 2>/dev/null &");
shoes_sys(RSTRING_PTR(browser), 1);
}
Not overly familiar with Ubuntu, but perhaps in your installation /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser isn't pointing to the right place? Either that, or Shoes shouldn't be using this path?
Sad to say that Shoes.url indeed seems broken on Linux, at least it was on Linux Mint (main edition, Ubuntu based) as well some time ago.
However I just tried it, now running Linux Mint Debian Edition, with the current shoes head and it worked beautifully. So either it's an Ubuntu specific problem or its fixed on the current Head. You could try to check out the current head

First off, I'm a noob. So this is all new to me.
I downloaded Linux_Unreal_Engine_5.0.3.zip from unrealengine.com/en-US/linux and I also downloaded V20 clang-13.0.1-based as well as V19 clang-11.0.1-based just in case because I didn't know which would be compatible.
When I follow the directions on the docs.unrealengine.com site I get "No such file or directory". I extracted everything already and I only typed "./setup.sh" as instructed by the site.
I'd really appreciate someone's patient guidance with this. I've looked everywhere on the internet for a solution.
The solution to my problem was as simple as me typing "sudo" before "./Setup.sh".
Recently lost my hard drive where I had WAMP installed and Imagick working.
Someone else did that part for me way back.
Reinstalling Win7 and getting everything working again = nightmare.
So I installed the latest version of WAMP - NO Imagick.
3 days of trying all the solutions on this site (and some others - sorry) and got nowhere.
Does anyone know of a "one shot" installation that will work out the box?
Maybe a fork of one of them - I looked but found nothing
Or maybe I should install Ubuntu onto an old PC and use that as a web server on my home LAN?
Seriously - they are depreciating the GD library some time soon and Imagick is apparently the successor but no-one supports Imagick natively.
Jumping through all sorts of hoops is no guarantee that it will work either as I have painfully found out.
Thanks in advance people.
WAMP and XAMPP are not up to speed with the transition from the soon to be removed GD library to the ImageMagic library and it would seem that neither are planning to bring their products up to date any time soon.
That leaves many users with a major problem as most web site developers need to be able to manipulate images at some time or another during their work.
For users who are not at a reasonably high level of expertize as far as messing around in the guts of the (in my case, Windows) operating systems, this is a nightmare and can be downright dangerous.
I did find what seemed to be a viable alternative in WampDeveloper Pro but unless you specifically go looking for it, their website is very hush-hush about the fact that its going to cost you over $125 to get it working.
You only find out about this at the first run after installing.
So my options are the following:
Put one of the Ubuntu distributions on a VM
or
Find an old drive, install it into your PC and make the PC dual boot using a Ubuntu distribution.
The second option will "ease" me into converting from Microsoft based OS reliance to a Linux based OS however if that does not work out, I do have the option to create an Ubuntu VM under the Windows system (I have used VM for a while under Windows) and use that in place of the other Windows based web server alternatives.
Either way I will be able to carry on servicing my clients and making a living without spending money or having a stroke due to pure frustration.
I may regret this decision BUT I may start wondering to myself "Now why did you wait so long?"
I just bought a VPS from BlueVM.com i've never owned or used a VPS before.
I thought it would be an easy procedure since all i wanted it to do was run Mozilla firefox 24/7.
But it's harder than i though it'd be :/
After purchasing i went to the VPS control panela nd then to the command center, with some google search i managed to download & install firefox onto my VPS.
According to google all i had to do was type: firefox and it should launch.
As the title states above i got this: Error: no display specified
How do i fix this? I did some google search and found some people having this problem too, unfortunately the tutorials they provided were not noob-friendly :/
I didn't understand anything.
Please help me fix this problem guys :)
Another thing!
How would it be if i managed to launch firefox, would a firefox window just appear instead of the command center?
Firefox will only launched if you have desktop version. You are using VPS which is text based. You can't use firefox in minimal version.
You can see the experience of Travis CI and VMs.

You can see the Firefox Command Line Option or Arguments here:

I have a big problem with my FileZilla on my current Ubuntu 12.10 installation so its unusable. First of all some facts:
FileZilla works with my Router/WLan etc. setup on windows perfectly.
It even worked on Ubuntu before upgrading (allthough I'm not sure if it affects at first 12.04 or 12.10)
So the Problem I guess is related to my Ubuntu
The problems are the following:
it's slow
I often have connection timeouts while transfering a couple of files or often when changing directories
often files get transferred without their contents
furthermore if bigger uploads timeout or stop I cannot determine what has allready been uploaded because it does not seem to follow any order subdirectorywise.
I'm kind of a Linux beginner too so I have no idea what I can do about this. Hopefully anybody can help.
It seems that I encountered the same problem with you. It's all right using FileZilla on Windows, but unstable on Ubuntu. Frequent timeout after MSLD command occurred.
I solved the problem by using the ftp command instead. It's built-in and rather simple. You could also check if the ftp connection is OK in Ubuntu with this tool. If it is, then it might be something wrong with FileZilla. (I guess)
I wrote an article about this: http://pengwenqiang.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/the-usage-of-the-basic-ftp-command-in-linux/
Hope it helps.
I'm trying to get Redmine working on Windows/IIS 7. I've found several walkthroughs online, but none of them work on my Windows Server 2008 R2 box. I got a simple app (create app, no customization) to get as far as RoR error, but Redmine itself shows a 500 error (ruby.exe exited unexpectedly). I installed sqlite since some guides mention that, though Redmine uses MySQL by default. I started with the Bitnami installer and tried to customize for IIS, RorIIS, FastCGI, lots of things that look like they should work, but this problem is killing me.
If I run ruby.exe from the command line, passing it the path to the dispath.fcgi file I get an error: "The procedure entry point SetMagickMemoryMethods could not be located in the dynamic link library CORE_RL_magick_.dll". I had to install the rmagick gem myself which seemed strange since everything worked perfectly under Apache. I really thought it would be a smooth cut-over since it's up and running already and just changing web server.
Any help is much appreciated.
I've tried a lot to install Redmine on Windows environment under IIS. There's very little (or none) documentation about it. Lost many days on this. In the end, I decided to stick to the Bitnami stack of Redmine. The only caveat is that we had to use another port (8080, in our case), that's it. I gave up the idea of integrating Redmine/RoR with IIS and never looked back. Everything is working great in production now and everyone is happy about it around here.
Sorry I can't give a better answer than that, I'm just sharing some recent experience. I was obsessed about integrating RoR/ISS until I realized it was not a real requirement, it was just something I stuck into my mind. Think about it.
