[http://www.firefox.com Firefox] is a popular open-source graphical web browser from [http://www.mozilla.com Mozilla].<br />
<br />
== Installing ==<br />
Firefox can be [[Pacman|installed]] with the {{Pkg|firefox}} package, available in the [[official repositories]].<br />
<br />
There are a number of language packs available for Firefox, other than the standard English. Language packs are usually named as {{ic|firefox-i18n-languagecode}} (where {{ic|languagecode}} can be any language code, such as '''de''', '''ja''', '''fr''', etc.). For a list of available language packs see [https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q=firefox-i18n&maintainer=&last_update=&flagged=&limit=100 this].<br />
<br />
If Firefox does not anti-alias and/or hint your fonts, try to install {{AUR|ttf-win7-fonts}} (preferred) or {{AUR|ttf-ms-fonts}} and take a look at [[Font Configuration]].<br />
<br />
== Add-ons ==<br />
Firefox is well known for its large library of add-ons which can be used to add new features or modify the behavior of existing features of Firefox. You can find new add-ons or manage installed add-ons with Firefox's "Add-ons Manager."<br />
<br />
For a list of popular add-ons, see [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/?sort=popular Mozilla's add-on list sorted by popularity].<br />
<br />
== Plugins ==<br />
{{Box||See the main article: [[Browser Plugins]]|#E5E5FF|#FCFCFC}}<br />
<br />
To find out what plugins are installed/enabled, enter:<br />
about:plugins<br />
in the Firefox address bar or go to the ''Add-ons'' entry in the Firefox Menu and select the ''Plugins'' tab.<br />
<br />
=== GNOME Keyring integration ===<br />
Install {{AUR|firefox-gnome-keyring}} from the [[AUR]] to integrate Firefox with [[GNOME Keyring]].<br />
<br />
=== KDE integration ===<br />
* To use KDE's KPart technology with Firefox, by embedding different KDE file viewers into the browser, you can install {{Pkg|kpartsplugin}}.<br />
<br />
* To get further integration with KDE's Oxygen theme, you can install [http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/?content=117962 Oxygen KDE], a very comprehensive theme that also has color scheme detection, support for Firefox's Persona themes, support for both the Oxygen and Faenza icons and various other customizations.<br />
<br />
* For integration with KDE’s mime type system and file dialogs, one can use a [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firefox-kde-opensuse version of firefox] with OpenSUSE’s patches applied.<br />
<br />
=== Dictionaries for spell checking ===<br />
To enable spell checking for a specific language right click on any text field and check the ''Check Spelling'' box. To select a language for spell checking to you have right click again and select your language from the ''Languages'' sub-menu.<br />
<br />
To get more languages just click ''Add Dictionaries...'' and select the dictionary you want to install from the list.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, you can install the {{Pkg|hunspell}} package, available in the [[official repositories]]. You also need to install dictionaries for your language, such as {{Pkg|hunspell-fr}} (for the French language) or {{Pkg|hunspell-he}} (for Hebrew).<br />
<br />
=== Adding Firefox search engines ===<br />
<br />
Search engines can be added to Firefox through normal add-ons, see [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search-tools/ this page] for a list of available search engines.<br />
<br />
A very extensive list of search engines can be found [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/ here].<br />
<br />
Also, you can use the [https://firefox.maltekraus.de/extensions/add-to-search-bar add-to-searchbar] extension to add a search to your search bar from any web site, by simply right clicking on the site's search field and selecting ''Add to Search Bar...''<br />
<br />
If you want a manual solution, take a look at {{ic|~/.mozilla/firefox/xxx.default/searchplugins/}} (where xxx is your profile ID).<br />
<br />
==== arch-firefox-search ====<br />
Install the {{Pkg|arch-firefox-search}} package, available in the [[official repositories]], to add Arch-specific searches (AUR, wiki, forum, etc, as specified by user) to the Firefox search toolbar.<br />
<br />
== Firefox derivatives ==<br />
<br />
* {{App|[[Wikipedia:Mozilla Corporation software rebranded by the Debian project#IceWeasel|Iceweasel]]|A fork of Firefox that is being developed by Debian. The main difference is that it does not include any trademarked Mozilla artwork.|http://wiki.debian.org/Iceweasel|{{AUR|iceweasel}}}}<br />
{{Note|For some more information about Iceweasel's existance see [http://web.glandium.org/blog/?p&#61;97 this blog post].}}<br />
* {{App|[[Wikipedia:Gnu IceCat|GNU IceCat]]|A web browser distributed by the GNU Project. It is made entirely of free software and is compatible with the GNU/Linux operating system and almost all of Firefox's addons. |http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/|{{AUR|icecat}}}}<br />
* {{App|[[Wikipedia:Swiftfox|Swiftfox]]|A web browser based on Firefox but optimized for some newer Intel and AMD processors.|http://www.getswiftfox.com/|{{AUR|swiftfox-athlon64}} {{AUR|swiftfox-prescott}} {{AUR|swiftfox-i686}}}}<br />
* {{App|Firefox KDE|A version of Firefox that incorporates an OpenSUSE patch for better KDE integration than is possible through simple Firefox plugins.|http://gitorious.org/firefox-kde-opensuse|{{AUR|firefox-kde-opensuse}}}}<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting ==<br />
<br />
=== Setting your e-mail client ===<br />
Firefox is usually set to open {{ic|mailto}} links with a web application such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail. To set your e-mail client in Firefox to use with {{ic|mailto}} links, go to ''Preferences > Applications'' and modify the ''action'' column corresponding to the {{ic|mailto}} content type. You have set this to the exact location of your e-mail client (e.g. {{ic|/usr/bin/kmail}} for Kmail).<br />
<br />
=== Firefox 4 New Menu Bar/Firefox Button ===<br />
To toggle between the new Firefox button and the classic menu bar:<br />
* if the button is active, check ''Preferences > Menu Bar'', or right click in the toolbar area and check ''Menu Bar''.<br />
* if the menu bar is active, uncheck ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right click in the toolbar area and uncheck ''Menu Bar''.<br />
<br />
In GNU/Linux, you will just get a plain grey button instead of the new orange one from Windows. However you can change this to either a Firefox icon or the icon followed by the "Firefox" text.<br />
<br />
Adding the following to your {{ic|~/.mozilla/firefox/userprofile/chrome/userChrome.css}} file will place the icon before the text:<br />
{{bc|<br />
#appmenu-toolbar-button {<br />
list-style-image: url("chrome://branding/content/icon16.png");<br />
}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Adding the following to the same file will ''remove'' the "Firefox" text:<br />
{{bc|<br />
#appmenu-toolbar-button > .toolbarbutton-text,<br />
#appmenu-toolbar-button > .toolbarbutton-menu-dropmarker {<br />
display: none !important;<br />
}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
<br />
This userChrome.css configuration copies the default Windows Firefox 4+ look and adds an orange background to the button, with a purple background in Private Browsing mode:<br />
{{bc|<br />
#main-window:not([privatebrowsingmode]) #appmenu-toolbar-button {<br />
-moz-appearance: none !important;<br />
color: #FEEDFC !important;<br />
background: -moz-linear-gradient(hsl(34,85%,60%), hsl(26,72%,53%) 95%) !important;<br />

}<br />
<br />
#main-window:not([privatebrowsingmode]) #appmenu-toolbar-button:hover:not(:active):not([open]) {<br />
-moz-appearance: none !important;<br />

<br />
<br />

}<br />
<br />
#appmenu-toolbar-button {<br />
-moz-appearance: none !important;<br />

border: 1px solid #000000 !important;<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
#main-window #appmenu-toolbar-button:hover:not(:active):not([open]) {<br />
-moz-appearance: none !important;<br />
color: #FEEDFC !important;<br />
background: -moz-linear-gradient(hsl(276,75%,38%), hsl(279,70%,46%) 95%) !important;<br />
border: 1px solid #000000 !important;<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
#main-window #appmenu-toolbar-button:hover:active,<br />
#main-window #appmenu-toolbar-button[open] {<br />
-moz-appearance: none !important;<br />
color: #FEEDFC !important;<br />

border: 1px solid #000000 !important;<br />
}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
{{Note|You need to create both the {{ic|chrome}} directory and {{ic|userChrome.css}}, if they do not already exist.}}<br />
<br />
=== Open containing folder problems (KDE) ===<br />
If Firefox launches something other than your preferred file manager when using the "Open Containing Folder" option in the Downloads manager, make sure you select your file manager of choice (e.g. [[Dolphin]]) in KDE's System Settings under ''Workspace Appearance and Behavior > Default Applications > File Manager''.<br />
<br />
If Firefox is still not opening your file manager of choice, modify your user's {{ic|~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list}} to include these two lines:<br />
x-directory/normal=kde4-dolphin.desktop;kde4-kfmclient_dir.desktop;<br />
inode/directory=kde4-dolphin.desktop;kde4-kfmclient_dir.desktop;kde4-gwenview.desktop;kde4-filelight.desktop;kde4-cervisia.desktop;<br />
<br />
=== Firefox keeps creating ~/Desktop even when this is not desired ===<br />
Firefox uses {{ic|~/Desktop}} as the default place for download and upload files. To set it to another folder, create {{ic|~/.config/user-dirs.dirs}} and add:<br />
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="/home/<user>/"<br />
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="/home/<user>/<dir>"<br />
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="/home/<user>/<dir>"<br />
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="/home/<user>/<dir>"<br />
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="/home/<user>/<dir>"<br />
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="/home/<user>/<dir>"<br />
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="/home/<user>/<dir>"<br />
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="/home/<user>/<dir>"<br />
Change {{ic|<user>}} and {{ic|<dir>}} to the actual directory.<br />
<br />
=== Make plugins respect blocked pop-ups ===<br />
Some plugins can misbehave and bypass the default settings, such as the Flash plugin. You can prevent this by doing the following:<br />
<br />
# Type {{ic|about:config}} into the address bar.<br />
# Right-click on the page and select {{ic|New}} and then {{ic|Integer}}.<br />
# Name it {{ic|privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins}}.<br />
# Set the value to 2.<br />
<br />
The possible values are:<br />
* '''0''': Allow all popups from plugins.<br />
* '''1''': Allow popups, but limit them to dom.popup_maximum.<br />
* '''2''': Block popups from plugins.<br />
* '''3''': Block popups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites.<br />
<br />
=== Middle-click errors ===<br />
A common error message you can get while using the middle mouse button in Firefox is:<br />
The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.<br />
<br />
Another symptom is that middle-clicking results in unexpected behavior, like accessing a random web page.<br />
<br />
The reason stems from the use of the middle mouse buttons in UNIX-like operating systems. The middle mouse button is used to paste whatever text has been highlighted/added to the clipboard. Then there is the possibly conflicting feature in Firefox, which defaults to loading the URL of the corresponding text when the button is depressed. This can be easily disabled by going to {{ic|about:config}} and setting the {{ic|middlemouse.contentLoadURL}} option to '''false'''.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, having the traditional scroll cursor on middle-click (default behavior on Windows browsers) can be achieved by searching for {{ic|general.autoScroll}} and setting it to '''true'''.<br />
<br />
=== Backspace does not work as the 'Back' button ===<br />
As per [http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/12/21/fix-firefox-backspace-to-take-you-to-the-previous-page/ this article], the feature has been removed in order to fix a bug. To re-introduce the original behavior go to {{ic|about:config}} and set the {{ic|browser.backspace_action}} option to '''0''' (zero).<br />
<br />
=== Firefox does not remember login information ===<br />
It may be due to a corrupted {{ic|cookies.sqlite}} file in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile Firefox's profile] folder. In order to fix this, just rename or remove {{ic|cookie.sqlite}} while Firefox is not running.<br />
<br />
Open a terminal of choice and type the following:<br />
$ cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/<br />
$ rm -f cookies.sqlite<br />
{{Note|xxxxxxxx represents a random string of 8 characters.}}<br />
<br />
Restart Firefox and see if it solved the problem.<br />
<br />
=== Unreadable input fields with dark GTK+ themes ===<br />
When using a dark [[GTK+]] theme, one might encounter Internet pages with unreadable input and text fields (e.g. Amazon can have white text on white background). This can happen because the site only sets either background or text color, and Firefox takes the other one from the theme.<br />
<br />
A work around is to explicitly setting standard colors for all web pages in {{ic|~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/chrome/userContent.css}}.<br />
<br />
The following sets input fields to standard black text / white background; both can be overridden by the displayed site, so that colors are seen as intended:<br />
{{bc|<br />
input {<br />
-moz-appearance: none !important;<br />
background-color: white;<br />
color: black;<br />
}<br />
<br />
textarea {<br />
-moz-appearance: none !important;<br />
background-color: white;<br />
color: black;<br />
}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
This will force the colors ("Allow pages to choose their own colors..." checkbox in the ''Preferences > Content > Color'' dialog):<br />
{{bc|<br />
input {<br />
-moz-appearance: none !important;<br />
background-color: pink !important;<br />
color: green !important;<br />
}<br />
<br />
textarea {<br />
-moz-appearance: none !important;<br />
background-color: pink !important;<br />
color: green !important;<br />
}<br />
}}<br />
Change color values to suit, or use an add-on like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108 Stylish].<br />
<br />
=== File association problems ===<br />
For non-[[GNOME]] users, Firefox may not associate file types properly or at all (in the "Open With" part of the download dialog). Installing {{Pkg|libgnome}} from the [[official repositories]] amends the problem.<br />
<br />
If you are using [[KDE]] you can also do the following:<br />
ln -s ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache<br />
From now on Firefox should use the applications which are explicitly set in KDE.<br />
<br />
=== "I'm Feeling Lucky" Mode ===<br />
Some search engines have a feeling lucky feature. For example Google has "I'm Feeling Lucky" and DuckDuckGo has "I'm Feeling Ducky".<br />
<br />
To activate them:<br />
# Type {{ic|about:config}} in the address bar.<br />
# Search for the string {{ic|keyword.url}}.<br />
# Modify its value (if any) to the URL of the search engine. <br />
<br />
For Google, set it to:<br />
{{bc|<nowiki>http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=</nowiki>}}<br />
For DuckDuckGo, set it to:<br />
{{bc|<nowiki>https://duckduckgo.com/?q=\</nowiki>}}<br />
<br />
=== "Do you want Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts?" dialog does not appear ===<br />
From the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/767751 Mozilla Support] site:<br />
<br />
# Type {{ic|about:config}} in the address bar.<br />
# Set {{ic|browser.warnOnQuit}} to '''true'''.<br />
# Set {{ic|browser.showQuitWarning}} to '''true'''.<br />
<br />
=== Firefox uses ugly fonts for its interface ===<br />
<br />
If the fonts in the menu bar look ugly to you, chances are you're missing better looking fonts for Firefox to use. As a quick remedy, just install Type 1 fonts from the {{Pkg|xorg-fonts-type1}} package, available in the official repositories.<br />
<br />
=== Firefox uses ugly fonts on certain webpages ===<br />
<br />
When Firefox uses bitmap fonts, it can happen that on certain webpages the fonts are very ugly (compared to Google Chrome for example):<br />
<br />
http://i.imgur.com/SMVdi.png vs http://i.imgur.com/jNmxU.png<br />
<br />
To fix that, just disable bitmap fonts for X:<br />
$ sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/<br />
<br />
=== The menu cannot pop-up after updating to Firefox 13 ===<br />
This problem is most probably related to this [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787943 bug] and it may affect any user that sets<br />
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim<br />
<br />
while configuring their input method.<br />
<br />
It appears to happen especially to those who are using [[Fcitx]] 4.0.x (at that time Fcitx only supported XIM). With newer version of Fcitx, XIM is discouraged and you should set:<br />
GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx<br />
<br />
For more information see the [[Fcitx]] page.<br />

== Native Steam on Linux ==<br />
<br />
{{Note|Arch Linux is not [https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref&#61;1504-QHXN-8366 officially supported].}}<br />
<br />
{{Note|Some games may need additional dependencies.}}<br />
<br />
{{Note|Because the Steam client is a 32-bit application, you need to enable [[Multilib]] in pacman '''if you have a pure 64-bit installation'''. It may also make sense to install multilib-devel to provide some important multilib libraries. You also most likely need to install the 32-bit version of your graphics driver to run Steam. Also look [[#Steam on x64 Systems|here]].}}<br />
<br />
Install {{aur|steam}} from the [[AUR]].<br />
(Current licensing prevents steam from being put in the community/multilib repository, see the [https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2012-November/024046.html mailing list thread])<br />
<br />
Steam makes heavy usage of the Arial font. To make fonts look better, you may wish to install the {{aur|ttf-microsoft-arial}} or {{aur|ttf-ms-fonts}} package from the [[AUR]].<br />
<br />
===Fixes/Bugs/Error Messages===<br />
<br />
{{Note|Steam installs library dependencies of a game to a library directory, but some are missing at the moment. Report bugs involving missing libraries on Valve's tracker before adding workarounds here, and then provide a link to the bug so it can be removed as the issues are fixed. Libraries like {{pkg|libglu}} and {{pkg|libtxn_dxtn}} are exceptions to this, as they are just part of the implementation of the open drivers.}}<br />
<br />
Steam is ''beta software'' which is '''not supported''' on this distribution. As such some fixes are needed on the users part to get things functioning properly. Several games have dependencies which may be missing from your system. If a game fails to launch (often without error messages) then make sure all of the libraries listed below that game are installed. (Please help us expand on this list)<br />
<br />
{{Note|In addition to being documented here, any Fix/Bug/Error message should be, if not already, reported on Valve's bug tracker on their GIT page: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux.}}<br />
<br />
====GUI problems with KDE====<br />
<br />
If you are using KDE and you have problems with the GUI (such as lag or random crashes) modify the compositing type to OpenGL/Raster. So don't use the XRender!<br />
<br />
====Flash not working with x64====<br />
Create a local Steam flash plugin folder<br />
mkdir ~/.steam/bin32/plugins/<br />
and set a symbolic link to the global lib32 flash plugin file in your upper new folder<br />
ln -s /usr/lib32/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ~/.steam/bin32/plugins/<br />
<br />
====Amnesia: The Dark Descent====<br />
=====Dependencies=====<br />
<br />
* {{pkg|lib32-freealut}}<br />
* {{pkg|lib32-glu}}<br />
* {{pkg|lib32-libxmu}}<br />
* {{pkg|lib32-sdl_ttf}}<br />
<br />
=====Troubleshooting=====<br />
======Segfault======<br />
If you are using open source drivers you will need {{pkg|lib32-libtxc_dxtn}} . See [http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-10924.html official forum] for details<br />
<br />
<br />
====And Yet It Moves====<br />
=====Dependencies=====<br />
* {{aur|lib32-libtheora}}<br />
* {{aur|lib32-libjpeg6}}<br />
* {{aur|lib32-libtiff4}}<br />
<br />
=====Compatibility=====<br />
Game refuses to launch and following message can be observed on console<br />
readlink: extra operand ‘Yet’<br />
Try 'readlink --help' for more information.<br />
To fix this, open {{ic|~/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/And Yet It Moves/AndYetItMovesSteam.sh}} in text editor and replace line<br />
ayim_dir="$(dirname "$(readlink -f ${BASH_SOURCE[0]})")"<br />
with<br />
<br />
ayim_dir="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")")"<br />
<br />
====FTL: Faster than Light====<br />
=====Dependencies=====<br />
Libraries are downloaded and and placed in the game's data directory for both architectures. As long as you run FTL by the launcher script (or via the shortcut in Steam) you should not need to download any further libraries.<br />
<br />
=====Compatibility=====<br />
After installation, FTL may fail to run due to a 'Text file busy' error (characterised in Steam by your portrait border going green then blue again). The easiest way to mend this is to just reboot your system. Upon logging back in FTL should run.<br />
<br />
The Steam overlay in FTL does not function as it is not a 3D accelerated game. Because of this the desktop notifications will be visible. If playing in fullscreen, therefore, these notifications in some systems may steal focus and revert you back to windowed mode with no way of going back to fullscreen without relaunching. The binaries for FTL on Steam have no DRM and it is possible to run the game ''without'' Steam running, so in some cases that may be optimum - just ensure that you launch FTL via the launcher script in {{ic|~/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/FTL Faster than Light/data/}} rather than the FTL binary in the $arch directory.<br />
<br />
====Harvest: Massive Encounter====<br />
=====Dependencies=====<br />
* {{pkg|gtk2}} or {{pkg|lib32-gtk2}}<br />
* {{pkg|libvorbis}} or {{pkg|lib32-libvorbis}}<br />
* {{pkg|nvidia-cg-toolkit}} or {{aur|lib32-nvidia-cg-toolkit}}<br />
* {{aur|libjpeg6}} or {{aur|lib32-libjpeg6}}<br />
<br />
=====Compatibility=====<br />
Game refuses to launch and throws you to library installer loop. Just edit {{ic| ~/.steam/root/SteamApps/common/Harvest Massive Encounter/run_harvest}} and remove everything but<br />
#!/bin/bash<br />
INSTDIR="`dirname $0`" ; cd "${INSTDIR}" ; INSTDIR="`pwd`"<br />
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${INSTDIR}/bin:~/.steam/bin<br />
exec ./Harvest<br />
<br />
====Killing Floor====<br />
=====Troubleshooting=====<br />
======screen resolution======<br />
Killing Floor runs pretty much from scratch, although you might have to change in-game resolution screen as the default one is '''800x600''' and a '''4:3''' screen format.<br />
If you try to modify screen resolution in-game, it might crash your desktop enviroment.<br />
To fix this, please set the desired resolution screen size by modifing your {{ic|~/.killingfloor/System/KillingFloor.ini}} with your prefered editor.<br />
{{hc|# nano ~/.killingfloor/System/KillingFloor.ini|<nowiki><br />
...<br />
<br />
[WinDrv.WindowsClient]<br />
WindowedViewportX=????<br />
WindowedViewportY=????<br />

<br />
...<br />
</nowiki>}}<br />
{{Note|Replace all the '''????''' with the corresponding numbers according the desired resolution. If you have an 1366x768 screen and want to use it at it's fullest, change all the Viewport fields to something like '''ViewportX&#61;1366''' and '''ViewportY&#61;768''' in the corresponding areas.}}<br />
{{Note| The dots in the middle indicate that there are more fields in that .ini file. But for screen resolution troubleshooting, you don't need to modify anything else.}}<br />
<br />
Save the file and restart the game, it should work now.<br />
<br />
====== Windowed Mode ======<br />
<br />
Uncheck fullscreen in the options menu, and use Ctrl-G to stop mouse capturing (that was non obvious to discover..). This way you can easily minimize it and do other other things..and let your WM handle things.<br />
<br />
====Penumbra: Overture====<br />
=====Dependencies=====<br />
(Taken from {{aur|penumbra-collection}} and {{aur|penumbra-overture-ep1-demo}})<br />

* {{pkg|lib32-glu}}<br />
* {{pkg|lib32-sdl_image}}<br />
<br />
=====Troubleshooting=====<br />
======Windowed Mode======<br />
There is no in-game option to change to the windowed mode, you will have to edit {{ic|~/.frictionalgames/Penumbra/Overture/settings.cfg}} to activate it.<br />
Find {{ic|FullScreen&#61;"true"}} and change it to {{ic|FullScreen&#61;"false"}}, after this the game should start in windowed mode.<br />
<br />
====Serious Sam 3: BFE====<br />
=====Dependencies=====<br />
<br />
* {{aur|lib32-pciutils}} - Useless as now SS3 uses lspci in a recent beta release (From [http://steamcommunity.com/app/41070/discussions/0/828924672560153011/ SteamCommunity]).<br />
<br />
====Splice====<br />
=====Dependencies=====<br />
<br />
* {{pkg|glu}}<br />
* {{pkg|mono}}<br />
<br />
Splice comes with both x86 and x64 binaries. Steam does not have to be running to launch this game.<br />
<br />
====Steel Storm: Burning Retribution====<br />
=====Troubleshooting=====<br />
======Start with black screen======<br />
The game tries to launch in 1024x768 resolution with fullscreen mode by default. It is impossible on some devices.<br />
(for example laptop Samsung Series9 with intel hd4000 video).<br />
But you can try to launch the game in windowed mode. <br />
<br />
Open game Properties in Steam, in General tab select "Set launch options..." and type "-window".<br />
<br />
Then you can change a resolution in game.<br />
<br />
======No English fonts======<br />
If you use intel video card, just disable S3TC in DriConf.<br />
<br />

=====Dependencies=====<br />
<br />
* {{pkg|lib32-libtxc_dxtn}}<br />
<br />
=====Troubleshooting=====<br />
======No audio======<br />
It happens if there is no PulseAudio in your system.<br />
If you want to use Alsa, you need to launch the Steam or game directly with {{ic|SDL_AUDIODRIVER&#61;alsa}} <br />
(From [http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/882966056462819091/#c882966056470753683 SteamCommunity]).<br />
<br />
====The Book of Unwritten Tales====<br />
If the game does not start, go to Properties --> Uncheck "Enable Steam Community In-Game".<br />
<br />
The game may segfault upon clicking the Setting menu and possibly during or before gameplay. This is a known issue and you will unfortunately have to wait for a fix from the developer.<br />

* If colors are wrong with FOSS drivers (r600g at least), try to run the game in windowed mode, rendering will be corrected.<br />
<br />
===Skins for Steam===<br />
<br />
The Steam interface can be fully customized by copying its various interface files in its skins directory and modifying them.<br />
<br />
====Steam Skin Manager====<br />
<br />
The process of applying a skin to Steam can be greatly simplified using {{aur|steam-skin-manager}} from the AUR. The package also comes with a hacked version of the Steam launcher which allows the window manager to draw its borders on the Steam window.<br />
<br />
As a result, skins for Steam will come in two flavors, one with and on without window buttons. The skin manager will prompt you whether you use the hacked version or not, and will automatically apply the theme corresponding to your GTK theme if it is found. You can of course still apply another skin if you want.<br />
<br />
The package ships with two themes for the default Ubuntu themes, Ambiance and Radiance. A Faience theme is under development and already has its own package on the AUR {{aur|steam-skin-faience-git}}.<br />
<br />
== Steam on Wine ==<br />
<br />
Install {{Pkg|wine}} from the official repositories and follow the instructions provided in the [[Wine|article]].<br />
<br />
Install the required Microsoft fonts {{AUR|ttf-microsoft-tahoma}} and {{AUR|ttf-ms-fonts}} from the [[AUR]] or through {{AUR|winetricks-svn}}.<br />
{{Note|If you have access to Windows discs, you may want to install {{AUR|ttf-win7-fonts}} instead.}}<br />
<br />
If you have an old Wine prefix ({{ic|~/.wine}}), you should remove it and let Wine create a new one to avoid problems (you can transfer over anything you want to keep to the new Wine prefix).<br />
<br />
===Installation===<br />
<br />
Download and run the Steam installer from [http://store.steampowered.com/about/ steampowered.com]. It is no longer an {{ic|.exe}} file so you have to start it with {{ic|msiexec}}: <br />
$ msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi<br />
<br />
===Starting Steam===<br />
<br />
On x86:<br />
$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/Steam.exe<br />
<br />
On x86_64 (with steam installed to a clean wine prefix):<br />
$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe<br />
<br />
Alternatively, you may use this method:<br />
<br />
$ wine "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\steam.exe" <br />
<br />
You should consider making an alias to easily start steam (and put it in your shell's rc file), example:<br />
alias steam='wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe >/dev/null 2>&1 &'<br />
<br />
{{Note|If you are using an nvidia card through bumblebee, you should prefix those commands with {{ic|optirun}}.}}<br />
<br />
===Tips===<br />
<br />
====Performance====<br />
<br />
Consider disabling wine debugging output by adding this to your shell rc file:<br />
export WINEDEBUG=-all<br />
or, just add it to your steam alias to only disable it for steam:<br />
alias steam='WINEDEBUG=-all wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe >/dev/null 2>&1 &'<br />
Additionally, Source games rely on a paged pool memory size specification for audio, and WINE by default does not have this set. To set it:<br />
wine reg add "HKLM\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Memory Management\\" /v PagedPoolSize /t REG_DWORD /d 402653184 /f<br />
<br />
==== Application Launch Options ====<br />
Go to "Properties" -> "Set Launch Options", e.g.:<br />
{{bc|-console -dxlevel 90 -width 1280 -height 1024<br />
}}<br />
* {{ic|console}}<br />
Activate the console in the application to change detailed applications settings.<br />
* {{ic|dxlevel}}<br />
Set the application's DirectX level, e.g. 90 for DirectX Version 9.0. It is recommended to use the video card's DirectX version to prevent crashes. See the official Valve Software Wiki http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/DirectX_Versions for details.<br />
* {{ic|width}} and {{ic|height}}<br />
Set the screen resolution. In some cases the graphic settings are not saved in the application and the applications always starts in the default resolution.<br />
Please refer to http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Launch_options for a complete list of launch options.<br />
<br />
==== Using a Pre-Existing Steam Install ====<br />
<br />
If you have a shared drive with Windows, or already have a Steam installation somewhere else, you can simply symlink the Steam directory to {{ic|~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/}} . However, be sure to do '''all''' the previous steps in this wiki. Confirm Steam launches and logs into your account, ''then'' do this:<br />
<br />
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ <br />
mv Steam/ Steam.backup/ (or you can just delete the directory)<br />
ln -s /mnt/windows_partition/Program\ Files/Steam/<br />
<br />
{{Note|If you have trouble starting Steam after symlinking the entire Steam folder, try linking only the {{ic|steamapps}} subdirectory in your existing wine steam folder instead.}}<br />
<br />
{{Note|If you still have trouble starting games, use {{ic|sudo mount --bind /path/to/SteamApps ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps -ouser&#61;your-user-name }}, this is the only thing that worked for me with {{ic|TF2}}}}<br />
<br />
====Running Steam in a second X Server====<br />
<br />
Assuming you are using the script above to start Steam, make a new script, called {{ic|x.steam.sh}}. You should run this when you want to start Steam in a new X server, and {{ic|steam.sh}} if you want Steam to start in the current X server. <br />
<br />
If due to misconfiguration a black screen is shown, you could always close down the second X server by pressing {{Keypress|Ctrl}} + {{Keypress|Alt}} + {{Keypress|Backspace}}.<br />
<br />
{{bc|1=<br />
#!/bin/bash <br />
<br />
DISPLAY=:1.0<br />
<br />
xinit $HOME/steam.sh $* -- :1<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Now you can use {{Keypress|Ctrl}} + {{Keypress|Alt}} + {{Keypress|F7}} to get to your first X server with your normal desktop, and {{Keypress|Ctrl}} + {{Keypress|Alt}} + {{Keypress|F8}} to go back to your game. <br />
<br />
Because the second X server is ''only'' running the game and the first X server with all your programs is backgrounded, performance should increase. In addition, it is much more convenient to switch X servers while in game to access other resources, rather than having to exit the game completely or {{Keypress|Alt}}-{{Keypress|Tab}} out. Finally, it is useful for when Steam or WINE goes haywire and leaves a bunch of processes in memory after Steam crashes. Simply {{Keypress|Ctrl}} + {{Keypress|Alt}} + {{Keypress|Backspace}} on the second X server to kill that X and all processes on that desktop will terminate as well. <br />
<br />
'''If you get errors that look like "Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server" when starting the second X''': You will need to adjust your X permissions.<br />
<br />
'''If you lose the ability to use the keyboard while using Steam''': This is an odd bug that does not happen with other games. A solution is to use a WM in the second X as well. Thankfully, you do not need to run a large WM. Openbox and icewm have been confirmed to fix this bug (evilwm, pekwm, lwm ''do not'' work), but the icewm taskbar shows up on the bottom of the game, thus it's recommended to use [[Openbox]]. Install {{Pkg|openbox}} from the [[official repositories]], then add {{Ic|openbox &}} to the top of your {{ic|steam.sh}} file. Note you can run other programs (ex. Teamspeak &) or set X settings (ex. xset, xmodmap) before the WINE call as well.<br />
<br />
====Steam Links in Firefox, Chrome, Etc====<br />
To make steam:// urls in your browser connect with steam in wine, there are several things you can do. One involves making steam url-handler keys in gconf, another involves making protocol files for kde, others involve tinkering with desktop files or the Local State file for chromium. These seem to only work in firefox or under certain desktop configurations. One way to do it that works more globally is using mimeo, a tool made by Xyne (an Arch TU) which follows. For another working and less invasive (but firefox-only) way, see the first post [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=433548 here] .<br />
<br />
* Make {{ic| /usr/bin/steam}} with your favorite editor and paste:<br />
<br />
{{bc|<br />
#!/bin/sh<br />
#<br />
# Steam wrapper script<br />
#<br />
exec wine "c:\\program files\\steam\\steam.exe" "$@"<br />
}}<br />
<br />
* Make it executable.<br />
<br />
# chmod +x /usr/bin/steam<br />
<br />
* Install {{AUR|mimeo}} and {{AUR|xdg-utils-mimeo}} from AUR. You will need to replace the existing {{pkg|xdg-utils}} if installed. In XFCE, you will also need {{pkg|xorg-utils}}.<br />
<br />
* Create {{ic|~/.config/mimeo.conf}} with your favorite editor and paste:<br />
<br />
{{bc|<br />
/usr/bin/steam %u<br />
^steam://<br />
}}<br />
<br />
* Lastly, open {{ic|/usr/bin/xdg-open}} in your favorite editor. Go to the {{ic|detectDE()}} section and change it to look as follows:<br />
<br />
{{bc|<nowiki><br />
detectDE()<br />
{<br />
#if [ x"$KDE_FULL_SESSION" = x"true" ]; then DE=kde;<br />
#elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome;<br />
#elif `dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.GetNameOwner string:org.gnome.SessionManager > /dev/null 2>&1` ; then DE=gnome;<br />
#elif xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE 2> /dev/null | grep ' = \"xfce4\"$' >/dev/null 2>&1; then DE=xfce;<br />
#elif [ x"$DESKTOP_SESSION" == x"LXDE" ]; then DE=lxde;<br />
#else DE=""<br />
#fi<br />
DE=""<br />
}<br />
</nowiki>}}<br />
<br />
* Restart the browser and you should be good to go. In chromium, you cannot enter a {{ic|steam://}} link in the url box like you can with firefox. The forum link above has a {{ic|steam://open/friends}} link to try if needed.<br />
<br />
{{Note|If you have any problems with file associations after doing this, simply revert to regular xdg-utils and undo your changes to {{ic|/usr/bin/xdg-open}}.}}<br />
{{Note|Those on other distributions that stumble upon this page, see the link above for firefox specific instructions. No easy way to get it working on Chromium on other distros exists.}}<br />
<br />
====No text rendered problem====<br />
If there is no text/font rendered when starting steam you should try to start steam with the parameter {{ic|-no-dwrite}}. Read more in [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=146223 the forum thread about it.]<br />
{{bc|wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe -no-dwrite}}</div>Vorenonhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Ncmpcpp&diff=240717Ncmpcpp2012-12-17T12:27:02Z<p>Vorenon: visualization works fine with the community/ncmpcpp package</p>

{{Article summary text|Covers installation and usage of ncmpcpp (ncmpc++)}}<br />
{{Article summary heading|Related}}<br />
{{Article summary wiki|mpd}} - Music Player Daemon<br />
{{Article summary end}}<br />
<br />
==Introduction==<br />
[http://unkart.ovh.org/ncmpcpp/ Ncmpcpp] or ncmpc++ is an [[mpd]] client with a UI very similar to ncmpc, but it provides new useful features such as support for regular expressions in search engine, extended song format, items filtering, last.fm support, ability to sort playlist, local filesystem browser and other minor functions. To use it, a functional [[mpd]] must be present on the system since ncmpcpp/mpd work together in a client/server relationship.<br />
<br />
The shell "GUI" for ncmpcpp is highly customizable. Edit {{ic|~/.ncmpcpp/config}} to your liking. For inspiration, see the following resources:<br />
<br />
* [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66488 Show your .ncmpcpp/config with Screenshot forum thread]<br />
* [http://unkart.ovh.org/ncmpcpp/screenshots.php Project screenshots page]<br />
<br />
==Installation==<br />
The official package resides in [community]<br />
# pacman -S ncmpcpp<br />
<br />
==(Very) Basic configuration==<br />
After installation a sample configuration file can be found in /usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/config<br />
<br />
If, after installation, ~/.ncmpcpp/config has not been created, you could copy the sample config, [[chmod#chown|change owner]] and edit at the very least the following three configuration options:<br />
<br />
* mpd_host (should point to the host on which mpd resides, can be "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" if on the same machine)<br />
* mpd_port (unless you've changed the defaults of mpd, this should be "6600")<br />
* mpd_music_dir (the same directory value as specified in "music_directory" in mpd.conf)<br />
<br />
==Enabling visualization==<br />
For visualization, add a few lines to {{ic|/etc/mpd.conf}} to enable the generation of the [[Wikipedia:Fast Fourier transform|fast Fourier transform]] data for the visualization:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
audio_output {<br />
type "fifo"<br />
name "my_fifo"<br />
path "/tmp/mpd.fifo"<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Additional lines need to be added to {{ic|~/.ncmpcpp/config}}<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
visualizer_fifo_path = "/tmp/mpd.fifo"<br />
visualizer_output_name = "my_fifo"<br />
visualizer_sync_interval = "1"<br />
#visualizer_type = "wave" (spectrum/wave)<br />
visualizer_type = "spectrum" (spectrum/wave)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Users can choose between either a spectrum analyzer or wave form.<br />
<br />
==Basic Usage==<br />
===Loading ncmpc++===<br />
Load ncmpc++ in a shell <br />
$ ncmpcpp<br />
===Remapping keys===<br />
A listing of keys and their respective functions is available from within npmpcpp itself via hitting {{Keypress|1}}. Users may remap any of the default keys simply by copying {{ic|/usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/keys}} to ~/.ncmpcpp/ and editing it.<br />
Ncmpcpp-git users have to copy {{ic|/usr/share/doc/ncmpcpp/bindings}} instead.<br />
<br />
===Different views===<br />
Partial list of views within ncmpc++<br />
*{{Keypress|0}} - Clock<br />
*{{Keypress|1}} - Help<br />
*{{Keypress|2}} - Current playlist<br />
*{{Keypress|3}} - Filesystem browser<br />
*{{Keypress|4}} - DB search<br />
*{{Keypress|5}} - Library<br />
*{{Keypress|6}} - Playlist editor<br />
*{{Keypress|7}} - Tag editor (very powerful!)<br />
*{{Keypress|9}} - Music visualizer<br />
<br />
===Other UI keys===<br />
*{{Keypress|\}} - Switch between classic and alternative views<br />
*{{Keypress|#}} - Display bitrate of file<br />
*{{Keypress|i}} - Show song info<br />
*{{Keypress|I}} - Show artist info (saved in {{ic|~/.ncmpcpp/artists/ARTIST.txt}})<br />
*{{Keypress|L}} - Shuffle between available lyric databases<br />
*{{Keypress|l}} - Retrieve song lyrics for current song Show/hide lyrics<br />
<br />
===Playback modes===<br />
<br />
Noticed the control panel in the upper right; shown in alternative mode:<br />
<br />
1:40/4:16 1082 kbps ──┤ Criminal ├── Vol: 98%<br />
[playing] Disturbed - Indestructible (2008) '''[-z-c--]'''<br />
<br />
And again in classic mode:<br />
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────'''[zc]'''─<br />
<br />
This corresponds to the playback modes; ordered from left to right, they are:<br />
<br />
*{{Keypress|r}} - repeat mode '''[r-----]'''<br />
*{{Keypress|z}} - random mode '''[-z----]'''<br />
*{{Keypress|y}} - single mode '''[--s---]'''<br />
*{{Keypress|R}} - consume mode '''[---c--]'''<br />
*{{Keypress|x}} - crossfade mode '''[----x-]'''<br />
<br />
The final "-" is only active when the user forces an update to the datebase via {{Keypress|u}}.</div>Vorenon
