First of all this is my first post before this great Community. In this post you will find a small solution that will serve more than one of them in the future, or when they have this type of problem.
I will comment on my case: Navigating the blog DesdeLinux I found a post of a review of the new proposal offered by friends of Kingsoft WPS Office, and it is the revolutionary product Kingsoft Office which is giving a lot to talk about in the Free Software communities.
Well to the point with the post, I decided to try what this new proposal of Kingsoft, I downloaded the software from the official website, it turns out that I did not run because it was a version for x32 and there is not yet for x64.
I had to install the i386 libraries using the following command from the console:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Everything perfect, I was able to execute what I wanted but when restarting it turns out that there was a conflict with my Google Chrome: Couldn't get out of full screen. I searched and googled a lot but didn't find many answers.
The solution:
After two hours of searching and searching, I opened the file manager and looked for the path where Google Chrome saves the user preferences which are stored in ~ / .config /. From the console I did the following:
cd ~/.config/ && sudo mv google-chrome google-chrome.old
What this command does is move the preferences folder from google-chrome to google-chrome.old. This fixed my problem of fullscreen.
To recover your bookmarks, passwords, and settings from Google Chrome, just log in again and re-sync your data.
If you did not have your Google account linked to Chrome then you must copy the folder ~ / .config / google-chrome.old / Default to ~ / .config / google-chrome / Default.
That's it, I hope this guide helps you when you find yourself in such situations.
As a comment I can tell you that according to my experience what you did also works for other programs that for some reason have been deconfigured. It would be something like restarting the program to the default settings.
On several occasions I have seen the need to delete the configuration folders of a program. Usually they can be found in our home hidden:
.cache / program_name
.config / program_name
.local / share / program_name
and in the same home with the «name of the program». I clarify that you should only delete the folder that bears the name of the programs that give us problems and they can do it from our file manager as a normal user. Or from the console as you say, it is always good to back up as you do hehehe greetings.
It's good to know the tip, although I don't use Chrome hehe.
long live linux
First of all, a very good post, the truth is that it served me on my girlfriend's pc, but I recently installed ubuntu 13.10 to do tests and it turns out that the ia32-libs package in 13.10 is obsolete, affecting many programs such as skype, wine , crossover, some audio and video conversion programs, hope you can fix it to install Kingsoft Office on ubuntu 13.10, Greetings
problems with chrome? try this solution it worked perfect for me.
# apt-getupdate
# apt-get remove --purge chrome
# apt-get install firefox
Unfortunately, we do not all have the same taste for firefox, my inclination with Chrome is that all my bookmarks, passwords and web data are synchronized with Google while with Firefox I do not know if there is the option to backup data 😛
It seems to me that Firefox has a similar option, which I sometimes occupy and it didn't work for me hehehe. That is one of the reasons why I use Chrome or Chromium, I am synchronized and can access from my desktop, tablet or from another computer or distro that I have installed on my computer. Login and that's it. 🙂
Exactly, that is my preference with Chrome, easy to use on any pc, laptop, tablet even my smartphone, you just enter with your Google email and voila, you have all your bookmarks and preferences synchronized.
