I've been doing some work with DOMDocument and DOMXPath to parse webpages recently, and even though I could get the XPath directly from Firefox or Chrome, it would not match in the $xpath->query(); What I found is that the $dom->LoadHTML($page); will handle invalid HTML, but mostly just by stripping it out. This is fine, unless you depend on the structure for the XPath query. The problem was the the page contained tables (we've all built them, missing the TBODY tags).

Want them to be in a more familiar layout?

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

Gives the menu on the left, then the rest on the right.

Have you been trying to get winbind working on Ubuntu, and not having any luck? After the usual:

 

sudo apt-get install winbind

 

You also need to install libnss-winbind as well:

 

sudo apt-get install libnss-winbind

 

That should get it working, when combined with the change of the hosts: line in /etc/nsswitch.conf from:

 

hosts: files dns

 

to

 

hosts: files dns wins

 

And presto, it should start working.

My two fantastic daughters Jess and Cass bought me this awesome Star Wars onesie for Fathers day. Unfortunately my lightsabre did not come when I used The Force to call it, so is not in the picture.

Some contrib modules have drush commands, you may need to specify a user on the command line to get the correct permissions. Older versions of node_export module had this issue, and the drush command needed is:

drush --user=1 node-export
