Setting LightDM background from command-line without Unity changed "Unity session" to gnome-session based on new information |

Setting LightDM background from command-line without Unity Yes, Unity does launch gnome-session. That probably is the issue. But if I try to add gnome-session to my fluxbox startup script, gnome-session will launch a bunch of extra stuff (like nautilus), that I don't want, or need. I also noticed that gnome-session launches the gnome-settings-daemon, which I hoped might be what makes this work, so I tried adding just that to ~/.fluxbox/startup, but it didn't work. So, is there some sort of fake gnome-session that will work, without launching all the extra stuff? |

Firefox “clone” for Ubuntu @cipricus, yes if you install multiple versions of Firefox, they will all use the same folder, unless you do some trickery when you launch it. For example, you could launch it like this: HOME="$HOME/.firefox2" /path/to/other/firefox and that would probably (I haven't tested this, but have done a similar thing with Dropbox) use a folder under ~/.firefox2/.mozilla/firefox instead. |

Firefox “clone” for Ubuntu Gmail running in HTML only is likely Google's fault, rather than the browser. I'm guessing that Google doesn't recognize the User Agent, so falls back to HTML. If you were to install a User-Agent switcher, and switch to the default Firefox user-agent, it should work fine. |

I upgraded ubuntu to 12.10, and the internet does not work on vbox I had this same problem, and this fixed it perfectly for me. In fact, it also fixed another problem I was having with Windows 3.11 displaying stretched when I increased the resolution. |

Firefox “clone” for Ubuntu I've never tried Swiftfox, but since it's just a differently-compiled firefox, I'm not surprised it runs the same profiles/etc. It's meant to be identical. Swiftweasel displaying basic html in Gmail is probably Google's fault for incorrectly identifying the browser, although, perhaps Swiftwesasel has an odd User-Agent. You didn't comment on Iceweasel or Icecat, though, which really are just rebranded versions of Firefox. Much more of a true Firefox clone than Flock ever was, since, as I recall, Flock couldn't even run every Firefox plugin. |

local wordpress installation, plugin installation and file permissions Yeah, it's better than doing chmod -R 777 wordpress which I've actually seen suggested, but I've seen better ways suggested, like only giving write permissions to wp-content. I was just never able to get the extra secure setups to work well for me.
But yeah, I think I've struck a pretty decent balance. |

Firefox “clone” for Ubuntu I'm confused as to what you're looking for, then. Iceweasel and Icecat are both almost exactly Firefox, without the Mozilla branding. Swiftfox is almost exactly Firefox, but with slightly different compile options. Swiftweasel is the same thing as Swiftfox. If those aren't clones, what makes Firefox-based Flock a clone? That's even more changed than the first four I mentioned. |
