Firefox uses wrong app for mailto: links

On an XP system: When Firefox fails to regard Thunderbird the "Default Mail Application" (even though you set that elsewhere) the problem may be solved by:

Worth a look --

NFS on Ubuntu Hardy Heron

Tags:

For some reason, my fresh Ubuntu install didn't include all the NFS bits... had to do this:

**

apt-get install nfs-common portmap **

* /etc/init.d/portmap restart *

* /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart *

and then I was able to:

**

mount 192.168.0.50:/myshare /mnt/myshare **

Loading 32-bit libraries on 64-bit Ubuntu

Tags:

OK so I tried to run simutrans on my new 64-bit Ubuntu box... and got this:

$

./sim99-18-1671

./sim99-18-1671: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If you look at which libraries are actually being loaded, this way:

$

ldd ./sim99-18-1671

linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libz.so.1 (0xf7fac000) libSDL-1.2.so.0 => not found libpthread.so.0 => /lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7f93000) libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7f6e000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7f63000) libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7e13000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7fd1000)

...you'll see that several libraries aren't found, and that the other libraries that are found are 32-bit (in /lib32)... not the system standard 64-bit (in /lib).

To overcome this, we'll have to:

$

**

sudo apt-get install apt-file * $ sudo apt-file update $ sudo apt-file --architecture i386 search libSDL-1.2.so.0 ia32-libs: /usr/lib32/libSDL-1.2.so.0 [...more listing here...] $ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs *

and likewise for any other missing 32-bit libraries.

Peachtree Hangs at Startup

Tags:

If you've tried to open a Peachtree company file on a computer that serves company-files but isn't actually running the Pervasive engine, Peachtree can irrecoverably hang at startup.

Using the Registry editor, find and modify:

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePeachtreePeachtree Complete Accounting14Options lastcompanyopenlong

and set it to the "real" company file -- or to a legal filename that doesn't exist. Then Peachtree will start and you can re-point it to the correct location.
