The symlink /etc/xdg/rox.sourceforge.net/URI/file doesn't seem to work. Don't know why, but it should be easy to fix. Maybe something in /etc/xdg/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types/.

The first thing I thought of was to put a line in xdg-open to show exactly what was being passed to xdg-open, like echo "$@" >> /tmp/xdg-open.log but the rox error message in the first post showed the file name, without file://. But it MUST have :// in the name for oldaolgeezer's method to...

a file could have the characters %20 in the name. This might work better. Replace: *) exec rox "$1" with: test -f "$1" && exec rox "$1" exec rox "$(echo "$1"|sed "s/%20/ /g")" If the file exists, it opens it with rox (which does the...

Calibre is replacing all spaces in the filename with %20. a quick workaround could be to replace: *) exec rox "$1" with: exec rox "$(echo "$1"|sed "s/%20/ /g")" in the file xdg-open. This might affect other programs that use xdg-open. Or not. By the way, there...

init in the initrd.gz file is what needs editing. You can copy initrd,gz to /root and type: edit-initramfs -x initrd.gz There should be a dir /root/initrd-expanded. Inside the dir is a file named init. Line 154 is ntfs-3g $MNT_DEV $MNT_DIR -o umask=0,no_def_opts,noatime,rw,force,silent After you edi...

I think /sbin/init mounts /mnt/home. I don't remember whether you need to edit /sbin/init in the initrd file or whether editing /sbin/init directly would work. If I save a webpage from Firefox to read offline, the filename often contains a : or a ? which Windows does not like. I can edit the filenam...

If there is a rox window showing /mnt/sda2 and that dir is deleted, for example, from another rox window or using rmdir, then the window showning /mnt/sda2 will close. If the dir /mnt/sda2 exists, then rox will continue to display it whether a file system is mounted on it or not. Dirs in /mnt are or...

gettext can cause problems in scripts. It shouldn't be a problem with en_US

Maybe your bash options were changed from the defaults. That can cause scripts to break.

Code: Select all

echo $BASHOPTS
Anyway, glad I could help.

What do you get if you type report-video driver If report-video isn't working you could try copying the original file. gettext may be the problem. You could edit /usr/sbin/quicksetup and put in some debug code after line 944. Something like echo $XMSGX > /tmp/xmsgx.debug then run quicksetup and chec...

You can right click in a rox window and select Window -- Follow Symbolic Links For example, in the attached picture, I created a folder named 1 in /tmp (the window on the left). I made a symbolic link to 1, named 2. I created a symbolic link to 2 named 3. 4 is linked to 3 and 5 is linked to 4. I put...
